When a messy millennial underachiever accidentally gets alien-pregnant, she must overcome skeptical doctors, a useless baby daddy, and her oversharing mum in order to survive and reclaim her life.

Bombastic directing duo THUNDERLIPS unleash their zany and imaginative debut feature into the world after the success of their short Help, I’m Alien Pregnant (2024). Marrying vivid, pregnancy body horror with the pitch-perfect delivery of Kiwi humor and self-deprecation, THUNDERLIPS immerse us into a realm where the physical challenges of getting unexpectedly knocked-up by a well-meaning extraterrestrial are second only to the impossibility of figuring out parental boundaries and a long-term childcare plan. The ensemble cast shines, with Hannah Lynch at the helm in a breakout performance that grows from deadpan listlessness into empowered self-sufficiency as she grapples with the stark reality of her womb’s parasitic new tenant. Slimy, uproarious, and living up to its unforgettable title in every way, Mum, I’m Alien Pregnant promises a giddy, gross-out good time. — AS
