Review of Under the Skin (2014) by Tvjerry — 18 Apr 2014
Scarlett Johansson drives around in a van trying to pick up men, as some sort of otherworldy creature (probably alien) who lures them into a seductive death. For long stretches the most exciting thing she does is put on and take off her seatbelt.
When she veers from her routine, the mystery of her existence is slowly peeled away, but never fully explained. Haunting, repetitive music and some interesting special effects add to the creepy scenario.
There is a certain uniqueness in the direction that is compelling, but overall, this is mysterious minimalism at it's most tedious.
