Disguising itself as a human female, an extraterrestrial drives around Scotland attempting to lure unsuspecting men into her van. Once there, she seduces and sends them into another dimension where they are nothing more than meat.

“One of the most inventive films of our times.  We’re through the looking glass of desire.  Hard and soft like in Cocteau.  [Scarlet Johansson] is an alien and walks on the shiny black liquid.  Sliding, screeching music by Mica Levi, slides us into the demi-monde. And, amid the frantic, bee-hive, music, we hear her learn to speak. A new language for her, a new language for movies. Perhaps Under the Skin’s most daring innovation was to shoot a sci-fi movie starring one of the world’s famous actors, Scarlett Johansson, as a documentary. A complete reversal of expectation, a genre baptized and reborn.” – Mark Cousins
