"A gooey little sci-fi miracle." Yes it is! Umbrella Entertainment has unveiled an official trailer for an

Mum, I'm Alien Pregnant, an amusing New Zealand creation about a young woman who gets pregnant... with an alien. This premiered at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival earlier this year playing in the Midnight section there. It's the creation of the New Zealand filmmaking duo called "
Thunderlips", best known for their eccentric music videos & short films, serving up their first feature film.
