Mum, I’m Alien Pregnant
A twentysomething homebody is stuck carrying more than she bargained for in this gleefully gloopy Kiwi body-horror comedy.
After an unusual erotic encounter with a neighbour in the laundry room of their apartment building, Mary finds herself unexpectedly knocked up. But worse, Mary’s unborn offspring is a rapidly gestating alien foetus – the baby daddy is part alien (the part that counts). An underachieving millennial who still lives with her oversharing, open-minded-to-the-extreme single mother, Mary must now navigate dismissive doctors, a useless parenting partner and a whole host of discombobulating physical side effects if she is to reclaim autonomy over her body and her life.
Expanding on their 2024 short, director duo Sean Wallace and Jordan Mark Windsor – aka THUNDERLIPS – bring an unmistakeably Kiwi self-deprecating humour to this outrageous comedy positively dripping in extraterrestrial bodily fluids. Hannah Lynch (Petrol, MIFF 2022) shines as the unapologetically pissed-off Mary, and the visceral practical effects and tentacled prosthetics are a sight to behold.
“If you like big swing cinema, you won’t want to miss this one … an absolutely deranged story that’s hilarious, heartfelt, and unapologetically gross.” – Mashable
