The Jillon

2026 · 15 min

A short, gleefully weird dark comedy that keeps you off-balance with deadpan absurdity and quietly unsettling turns.

Directed by
Arthur Studholme
Genres
Comedy
Overview
From the mind of Harry Hill, starring Richard Ayoade, Richard Syms and Flip Webster comes a gloriously absurd dark comedy about an 86-year-old woman whose desperate wish to become a mother is granted, with consequences nobody could have imagined.
How it feels
Absurd, dark, whimsical and eerie. Brisk and needs your attention.
About
Parenthood, aging, obsession, identity
Content
Mild violence, gore and language. No sexual content.
