Under The Skin
In a novel that looks more exciting and powerful about science fiction scenes built on Michael Faber's novel. Michael tells of a strange woman who once went to the highlands of Scotland in order to perform a strange task. On top of the mountains, this girl tries to use her beauty and attractiveness to capture people and turn them into food for her army in an adventure that seems to be the deepest in the girl's life.

Glacial in pace, skeletal in plot, and generally nasty, Jonathan Glazer's Under the Skin is a repetitive nightmare of drear and dread punctuated by moments of queasy-making horror.

Glazer judges the men who die as he leers at Johansson in the exact same manner. Then there's a fire, and you wonder why you bothered.

An exploration and subversion of the unstated theme of 'Species' and its ilk: the fear of female sexuality, and the fantasy scenarios that are all tied up in those fears.

Most of Under the Skin operates on an almost subconscious level. The truth is out there in Glazer's screenplay, which he co-wrote with Walter Campbell, but it's intuitive rather than didactic.
