Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Alice Lowe wrote, directed, and starred while seven months pregnant, shooting in 11 days on a shoestring budget after no other director would touch the script.
The film weaponizes the 'hysterical pregnant woman' trope — every time someone dismisses Ruth's grief, the body count climbs. It's a satire of how society renders expectant mothers invisible until convenient.
