Mum, I'm Alien Pregnant
(2026)
|
Jonathan DeHaan
|
S high-speed health crisis and a super silly debut feature from a pair a filmmakers with a refreshingly gross sensibility. Plus, it has (easily) the weirdest dick you’ll see at the cinema this year 🫣

Reflection in a Dead Diamond
(2025)
|
Jonathan DeHaan
|
Like a James Bond movie written by Quetin Dupieux for David Lynch to direct. Some movies have a few quirky moments and a handful of cool ideas but Reflection in A Dead Diamond is a torrential downpour of first-class film fun.

Stylistically, Coyotes isn't quite the bullseye it was hoping to hit but this home-invasion/creature-feature boasts a good handful of vicious bits 'n' bites and a great sense of humor.

Dead Lover is like a German Expressionist film with silly voices, color gels, and fart jokes. It's hilarious, it's bizarre, it's 100,000 watts of weird beamed directly into your skull from the mind of an artist that it completely unrestrained.
