After premiering at Sundance to equal amounts of delight and disgust, Duke himself is proud to present the UK Premiere of the audacious, outrageous and utterly unique New Zealand body horror comedy MUM, I’M ALIEN PREGNANT.
A messy millennial underachiever accidentally becomes alien-pregnant and must contend with sceptical doctors, a useless baby daddy, and her oversharing mother in order to survive and reclaim her life.
That’s just the topline on this gooey, ooey, utterly disgusting comedy that ratches up every dial possible beyond acceptable - truly, this is the kind of gross out experience that was made to enjoy with a crowd with a heart so big you won’t be able to help but fall in love - join your fellow lunatics in celebrating what is one of the best genre films not only in 2026 but of the last decade.

In a sleepy little town where nightmares crackle through the airwaves, a late-night radio show becomes more than just spooky storytelling, it’s an omen factory. Each grisly tale it spins seems to claw its way into reality, leaving the locals rattled and whispering: is the broadcast causing the bloodshed? Tonight, one ambitious guest plans to hijack that power for himself, and in this frequency of fear, someone’s going to get tuned out for good.
From the brilliant mind of director Cristian Ponce who terrified us with ‘THE HISTORY OF THE OCCULT’ and ‘A MOTHER’S EMBRACE’ comes a new kind of terror - drenched in neon and throbbing with sexy synth, this loving embrace of 80’s horror and Carpenter bursts onto the big screen with an energy missing from modern cinema: truly a film made for the big screen and the right crowd, do not miss your opportunity to be able to say I was there for its UK debut.
