I'd like to talk about how amazing of a feat it is that this film even exists; rather than talk about the hilariously original plot. If I were you, I'd go into this movie blind (That's what I did personally anyway). If you enjoy the blackest of comedies, this'll be right up your street.

I saw Prevenge at a screening in Newcastle upon Tyne, at Tyneside Cinema. The reason I went to see the movie initially was due to the fact Alice Lowe was going to be doing a live Q and A after the film. I've always been fascinated by live director Q and A's. I had the opportunity to check out a screening of Nina Forever followed by a Q and A session with the two writer/directors last year and it perked my interest.

The main aspect of production that blew me away was the fact that the idea only came about when Alice was 6 months pregnant. She managed to write, direct and star in the film 3 months before she gave birth. Even more incredibly, it was shot in only 11 days on a tiny budget. The determination and willpower of Alice is inspirational.

It's a beautifully shot film, very well acted and most importantly: funny! Obviously the movie isn't perfect, however it's a perfect dose of cynical, pitch black British comedy. The way it jumps between a serious murder taking place and then a one liner or pun makes you laugh out loud. You start to question your own morals after witnessing a man getting his manhood mutilated. It's simply written in a way that makes it hysterical.

Alice is currently working on her next project and has said that it's going to be even more crazy than Prevenge. I believe Prevenge is going to be released on February 9th, check it out!

Within the first minute I fell in love with this show. The dialogue, the actors, the acting, flea and shaq. Everything is just so lovable about this show. The uncle's lines are perfect. One or two fell flat, but apart from that he was a riot (sorry). The writing is amazing. It feels like it was moulded around my own sense of humour. The mum and dad are quirky and naive. I especially love the mum, the actress been in shows such as Always Sunny in Philadelphia in the past.

It's rare to find a show that hits all the right notes, especially in its first episode/pilot. I was extremely disappointed when I found out there was only one episode, major case of blue balls. It's closing in on 6 months since the pilot, hopefully they'll pump out the first season within 2016.

I'm usually one for offensive/dark comedy; Always Sunny being one of my favourite shows, but this is such a refreshing show. I guess the theme is dark, but it has yet to be as serious as the darkest of comedies. It is rated 15, but so far there's nothing stopping the whole family watching the show. However, I feel that it's quite niche, which is probably why it hasn't been released yet. There's not really a big demand...

Anyway, this was my first ever review. Hopefully you found it interesting.
