Alice Lowe, co-writer of Ben Wheatley’s Sightseers, has made her directorial debut with Prevenge, a darkly satirical slasher film in which she plays a pregnant woman who is convinced her foetus is ordering her to kill. It premiered at the Venice film festival in September, with our critic Peter Bradshaw describing it as “a nightmarish satirical twist on post- and antenatal depression: its tone is bizarre, its pace a remorseless, heavy tread”. Prevenge is released in the UK on 10 February
