Alice Lowe writes, stars in and makes her directorial debut with this wickedly sharp horror comedy, which brings new meaning to the phrase ‘bloody funny’. Lowe (herself seven months pregnant during the shoot) plays the heavily pregnant Ruth, who goes on a killing spree at the behest of her unborn child, its voice urging her to lash out against society. There are serious metaphors to be drawn about the emotional turmoil of impending motherhood, but this is also simply a twisted slice of B-movie brilliance. Matt Looker
