Prevenge wins Innovation Award at Australian film fest
Alice Lowe's Prevenge has won the Monster Innovation Award at cult film festival Monster Fest 2016 in Melbourne, Australia.
The Velvet Onion, 29th November 2016Preview: Prevenge
Featuring a cast primarily made up of TVO regulars, and with Alice Lowe writing and directing as well as leading that incredible cast, we were naturally very keen to see it. Our editor, Paul Holmes, shares his thoughts below...
Paul Holmes, The Velvet Onion, 18th October 2016Prevenge - review
Prevenge was screened in the 'laughs' comedy strand of the London Film Festival, but the humour in Alice Lowe's directorial debut most definitely of the jet-black tone. Its tone is bleak and unnerving, with only the occasional dry comic moment offering relief from the brutal actions of its serial-killing anti-heroine, Ruth.

Alice Lowe's self-starring directorial debut finds a pregnant woman out for blood.

Alice Lowe has been shortlisted for the inaugural Screen International Horror Rising Star Award.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 22nd July 2016Black Mountain Poets review
Alice Lowe, Dolly Wells and Tom Cullen excel in this flimsy, funny tale of siblings who impersonate beat poets at a retreat in the Black Mountains.
Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian, 31st March 2016Alice Lowe interview
Alice Lowe is set to return to the big screen this week with her new film Black Mountain Poets, which sees her star alongside Dolly Wells and Tom Cullen and work with filmmaker Jamie Adams.
Helen Earnshaw, Female First, 31st March 2016Black Mountain Poets even make a Tesco receipt funny
When the endlessly moody and peculiar Alice Lowe character reads out a Tesco receipt and tries to give it the hard poetic sell, her sister, in a bonding moment, agrees she's sprung something from nothing through sheer force of will. The same's true of this threesome and this film.
Tim Robey, The Telegraph, 31st March 2016Black Mountain Poets review
Indeed, for all its Five Go Mad in Dorset-esque, decidedly British humour, this is fundamentally a moving study of the nature of adult sisterhood.
Nikki Baughan, The List, 28th March 2016A caravan, a bear, and housewife horror: Alice Lowe
Right now she's busy with a fast-turnaround film project, her directorial debut feature, provisionally titled Prevenge. The part-improvised film is best described as a 'post-feminist revenge movie' and features Alice as a pregnant woman on a killing spree (Alice herself is currently seven and a half months pregnant, so thankfully there will be no need for anatomically suspect padding). The mystery at the centre of the film is who she's killing, and why.
