Gross Kiwi Horror Comedy Trailer #2 Alien Pregnancy
Get ready to embrace the wonderfully weird, because Umbrella Entertainment has just dropped another peek into the delightfully bizarre world of Mum, I’m Alien Pregnant. This New Zealand creation is perfectly balancing the gross-out zaniness of body horror with a dash of hilarious, chaotic comedy, promising a feature film that will make you question everything—especially what you think you know about pregnancy.
The film hails from the minds of the eccentric filmmaking duo Thunderlips, best known for their delightfully off-kilter music videos and short films. Now, they are delivering their feature-length vision, a story that premiered at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival in the Midnight section, setting a wonderfully strange tone for their debut.
At its core, the story follows Mary, a messy millennial underachiever who finds herself in an utterly impossible situation: she has accidentally become pregnant with an alien baby. The narrative dives headfirst into the hilarious and deeply uncomfortable realities of navigating this cosmic predicament. Mary must contend not only with the internal turmoil of a rapidly changing body and the presence of an alien fetus but also with the external chaos of skeptical doctors, a completely useless baby daddy, and her oversharing mother.
This is a tale that masterfully explores the collision of girl-meets-alien-boy tropes with visceral body horror. As Mary grapples with her evolving physical state and the alien life growing inside her, the emotional stakes escalate alongside the physical absurdity. The film expertly handles the tension between personal drama and cosmic strangeness, culminating in a truly slimy and unforgettable climax.
The cast brings a wonderful dynamic to the chaos. Hannah Lynch shines as Mary, navigating the intense emotional and physical journey. She is supported by Yvette Parsons as her mother, Cynthia, and the rest of the ensemble, including Arlo Green as Boo and Jackie van Beek as Ann, all contributing to the wonderfully messy family dynamic.
Umbrella Entertainment recently released a fresh, clever trailer that doesn’t rely on excessive footage. Instead, it cleverly utilizes some of the film’s funniest scenes to whet the appetite for the gross-out absurdity waiting within the rest of the movie. It’s a perfect teaser for the zany fun that awaits.
Mark your calendars: Mum, I’m Alien Pregnant is heading to theaters in New Zealand starting this week. Prepare yourselves for an alien adventure that is equal parts hilarious, grotesque, and utterly captivating. Enjoy the ride, and watch out for those weird alien boys!
