Scarlett Johansson stars in Under The Skin

‘Under The Skin’ sees Scarlett Johansson play an alien roaming the bleak streets of Glasgow in search for men. Luckily, she’s in human form, and that human form happens to be that of Scarlett Johansson, who plays the role of a siren rather convincingly. Basically, her attracting men into a trap isn’t that unrealistic. There’s your first reason for watching it.

Jonathan Glazer’s ‘Under The Skin’ is released tomorrow in the U.K; the oft-talked about thriller sees Scarlett Johansson play an alien in human form, who – on a mission on earth – acts as a seductress, luring men and sending them back to her home planet, where they are considered a delicacy.

The eerie film has attracted plenty of attention, partly due to its filming technique – Johansson drove around Glasgow in a van, inviting men to join her. Some agreed, some didn’t, and out of the ones that did, a select few were chosen to actually appear in the movie.

The alien femme fatale uses a dead woman’s body as a disguise, luring men with her attractive figure before they’re engulfed in a mysterious black liquid while they undress.

Under the Skin, the third movie from Jonathan Glazer, has severely divided critics at the Venice Film Festival with some calling it astonishing, one of the finest films of the year, and others bemoaning it as silly and throwaway. 

Premiering earlier on Tuesday (September 3, 2013), the drama was certainly divisive, though as the boos and heckles rang around the Italian auditorium, some critics were already scribbling hugely positive reviews.

Filmed on location in Glasgow and the Scottish Highlands, Under the Skin stars Hollywood actress Scarlett Johansson as an alien in a sleek black wig who feasts on innocent ramblers. As Robbie Collin of The Telegraph writes in his five-star review, "She takes care to pick off men who won't be missed: lonely souls out late at night with no girlfriends or wives to come looking for them. They get into her van, and the next we see of them they are walking into a black room, naked and visibly aroused, tempted forward by Mica Levi's metronomic score and Johansson's impossible body."
