Prevenge 2017

Excellent bloody, violent Revenge story.

Satisfying horror comedy, similar to "Sightseers", including the satire and cutting humour.

Hell hath no fury than a pregnant woman scorned. Fairly decent revenge thriller shot through with an (unhealthy) dose of black humour.

Well that was different for a revenge plot, some dark humour, some bloody scenes, a pregnant lady that some how her figure was changing sizes each scene but yeah It was a good watch, dark and weird at times and could of been better but I wasn’t expecting greatness knowing it was a cheap budget film..

An OK dark-comedy horror that has flashes of potential but ultimately feels a little underwhelming. Alice Lowe is a terrific comedic actress and someone I've been a fan of since her hilarious turn as Liz Asher in Garth Marenghi's Darkplace, so I wish I'd enjoyed this more. The film certainly looks good and the cast are all great but it's slightly let down by the script/story, unfortunately.

I think the biggest problem is Prevenge falls between two stools - it's neither consistently funny enough to work as a comedy (but it does have its moments) nor scary/freaky enough to be a horror. Perhaps if Alice had collaborated with someone on the writing front it would have pulled it more successfully in one of these two directions - preferably the comedy. This film was obviously a bit of a pet project for Alice since she directed it as well but fingers crossed her next film has a more successful identity.

It's an okay movie, but it kind of felt like they didn't really know where to take it.

I tried to love it like everyone else seems to, I really did. But I just found it an absolute chore to sit through. A collection of murders stitched together by incredibly gloomy, mundane scenes that did very little to keep me awake.

*No comedy - no horror - just pretentious rubbish.*

This is a wholly disappointing film from start to finish.
The story is weak and uninteresting. It had the potential to be a reasonable story, but that seems to have been sacrificed for something someone (probably the luvvy brigade) thinks is a bit humorous over drinks and ego massages.
It was incredibly tedious to watch - so tedious I fell asleep twice and had to watch it again just in case I had missed a pivotal moment or two - I hadn't.
I am a fan of British independent film making that shows talent and skill - even if it's not perfect. But this film just fails to make my low standards.

You'd probably find eating a cheese and nail sandwich more interesting - one to miss.

My Score 2/10.
