More About This Film

Mum, I'm Alien Pregnant is a 2026 New Zealand comedy horror film that follows Mary, a messy millennial underachiever whose life is abruptly transformed by an extraordinary extraterrestrial pregnancy. She has to deal with skeptical doctors, an unreliable potential father, and an outspoken mother while trying to regain control of her life.

Directed by the New Zealand duo THUNDERLIPS, the film mixes awkward relationship comedy with deliberately grotesque body horror. The result is an intentionally outrageous but surprisingly warm genre hybrid that uses absurd science fiction to explore family, adulthood, and bodily anxiety.

  • Hannah Lynch, Yvette Parsons, Arlo Green, and Jackie van Beek lead the cast.
  • The feature was based on the filmmakers' 2024 short Help, I'm Alien Pregnant.
