DAY 28: A horror movie with a pregnant character

Prevenge (Lowe, 2016)

Written by, directed by and starring Alice Lowe, this film sees her character carrying out murders at the orders of her unborn child. Or is she losing her mind? A very odd, very dark horror comedy.

The Babadook and We Need to Talk About Kevin are other great horror movies about motherhood when a woman isn’t ready to become a mother since we have movies like Apartment 7A and Beetlejuice 2 doing that same topic.

Babadook being about a woman who was fine with starting a family with her husband at her side but he dies in a wreck on the way to get her to the hospital which kickstarts severe trauma and resentment for her. She will always see the night of her son’t birth as the night her husband died and she herself almost died and it’s a heavy trauma and we watch her with a kid who acts out constantly and her crumbling mental health and a family that is more judgmental than they are supportive. The temptation for her to let this vampiric creature take her son just to be rid of him to live her life again, the idea that if he was dead she could be happy and the realization that isn’t true and that she does love her child but needs help to deal with her grief and trauma.

We Need to Talk About Kevin definitely ties heavy with Beetlejuice 2 and Apartment 7A with the fact our main character is a woman who was free spirited and happy, she travelled the world and saw so many things then she meets a man and falls in love but then she is pregnant and he is thrilled because all he wants is to be a dad but all she wanted was to travel and live freely. We watch her dread her first pregnancy and resent the limited freedom then how the baby screams and cries seemingly hating her but adoring his father, how she’s now limited to life at home while her husband is still free to do what he wants with his life.

Then a way more obscure horror film called Prevenge which follows a heavily pregnant woman who swears her unborn baby is a demon forcing her to kill. In reality she is deeply traumatized following the sudden death of her partner who was an avid climber who unfortunately fell to his death climbing a cliff side with a group he knew. She delusions herself believing it was no accident and they murdered him and begins picking them off one by one. Things by the remaining friend are revealed that shine a new light on the story honestly making it more fucked up. Again it’s another movie where a woman struggles with either being a mother or becoming a mother. She’s mentally ill and traumatized but hides it from social services for fear of them just taking her baby from her.

Again people thinking motherhood and pregnancy horror is new is funny to me because I can list countless films around this topic.
