The Sundance Film Festival is just weeks away, and soon we’ll find out which are this year’s most hyped horror movies to look forward to.

One that we’re keeping an eye on is XYZ’s comedy body horror, Mum, I’m Alien Pregnant, a feature version of New Zealand filmmaking duo Thunderlips‘s short film.
