Warner Bros. Home Entertainment bringing you Snatchers - an original horror comedy feature film on Digital January 7, and Blu-ray Combo Pack, and DVD on February 18, 2020. Described as a cross between Aliens meets Mean Girls - the full-length film was initially released in new media as a successful short-form series that follows a status-obsessed high school teenager who loses her virginity and finds herself pregnant the next day...with an alien! After status-obsessed teen Sara has sex for the first time, she wakes up the next day nine months pregnant-with an alien.

Senior year is going to rule! Thanks to her relationship with clueless hunk Skyler, Sara is totally in with the cool girls. But Skyler contracted an extraterrestrial bug during his summer vacation.

"Did you... pull out?" Warner Bros Home Entertainment has unveiled the official trailer for a movie titled Snatchers, a horror comedy from the filmmaking duo Stephen Cedars & Benji Kleiman. Some folks may recognize this already, as it's based on the short film and TV series also both titled Snatchers, dealing with the same thing. After status-obsessed teen Sara, played by newcomer Mary Nepi, has sex for the first time, she wakes up the next day nine months pregnant-with an alien. It's a creepy, icky, amusing creature feature pregnancy comedy and it actually lives up to that conceptual potential. Also starring Gabrielle Elyse, J.J. Nolan, Austin Fryberger, Nick Gomez, Rich Fulcher, Amy Landecker, and Ashley Argota. This really, really does look like it might be the best possible version of this pregnancy-as-a-monster metaphor turned into a movie. All the jokes are solid, their friendship works well, might even be better than this looks.

The horror comedy Snatchers had an appearance at SXSW earlier this year (March). Now, the film has been picked up by Warner Bros., for a home entertainment release. In the film, two friends become involved in an alien invasion. One girl becomes pregnant with an alien baby, while the other hopes to help her out of this dire scenario. Set to release in 2020, the film's official box artwork is available here. And, the film is from directors: Stephen Cedars and Benji Kleiman, with Mary Nepi (Not Cool) and Gabrielle Elyse the two central stars. A preview of the film's home entertainment release is available here. The latest trailer shows Sara (Nepi) and her doctor. This should be good news, but Sara's pregnant condition is a strange one. Only pregnant for a day, Sara looks like she has been pregnant for nine months. Once she gives birth, this baby looks even worse,...

“Clueless” meets “It’s Alive,” among other things, in “Snatchers.” Stephen Cedars and Benji Kleiman’s first feature is a great argument for teenage chastity, in that its high school heroine’s first sexual experience leads overnight to an alien-monster pregnancy and, possibly, the end of the world. See, impulses have consequences!

Moralists may wish that message were delivered a tad more seriously, but there’s a great deal of fun to be had from this high-energy spinoff of an eponymous online series. In a SXSW Midnighters lineup overladen with variable horror comedies, this is at least one genuinely funny entry. It’s got a decent shot at theatrical exposure in addition to bright streaming prospects, all of which will no doubt be boosted by enthusiastic reception on the genre-fest circuit.

Synopsis (via SXSW): "Sara’s one of the cool kids... but she’s totally terrified of losing her status. She’d be a lot more secure if she could just win back her super-hot ex, Skyler, but he’s not interested unless they move to the next level.

Exclusive: Relationships with exes can be complicated — especially when you sleep with them and wake up the next morning nine months pregnant. In the SXSW pic Snatchers, co-directors Stephen Cedars and Benji Kleiman bring us the spirit of horror comedies like Gremlins and irreverent high school humor from pics like Mean Girls to tell a tale of friendship, self-worth and….alien pregnancies.

In the trailer above we see Sara (Mary Nepi), like all high school teens, make some questionable life choices. She’s one of the “cool” kids but is scared of losing her status and decides to get back with her hunky ex Skyler (Austin Fryberger) to preserve her coolness. But the only way he will get back with her is if she sleeps with him. Desperate to preserve her cool status, she has sex with him (it’s her first time) without protection. The thing is, he isn’t your normal hormone-crazed teenager.

“Snatchers” follows Sara, a status-obsessed high school student, who, to preserve her social standing, has sex for the first time and unexpectedly wakes up pregnant...really pregnant. Things take an interesting turn the morning after she loses her virginity when she quickly discovers she’s pregnant with an alien baby screaming to get out. Now she’ll have to team up with her nerdy ex-best friend Hayley to fight against an extraterrestrial threat, and hopefully keep her mom and friends from finding out about her alien offspring.

“Our goal with ‘Snatchers’ was to bring a human element to the horror-comedy genre. We wanted to create a series that was funny and thrilling, a story with real stakes and honest emotions. We believe the power of the horror-comedy genre lies in playing with people's expectations, creating tension then releasing it through a laugh or a scream -- or hey, both at the same time! Adding a touch of sincerity to that mixture creates something surprisingly unique and visceral,” said The Olde Money Boyz.
