Under the Skin Film Review

I just recently viewed Under the Skin starring Scarlett Johansson, who is known for her role as Black Widow in the Avengers movie.  I found out about this movie because it's trailer was featured in another movie that I had watched. It seemed interesting because it is a horror scifi about an alien who kills unsuspecting men by swallowing them up into a black liquid. I now know in retrospect that really sounds lame, and it is. I figured at the time that if this actress took the time to work in this film that it must be decent.


First off I have to say that this film is strange, and weird. I get that it is trying to be an art film, and one where there must be something I missed. This films main plot is the star sitting in her van like a creeper waiting for men to approach her, and then like a "black widow" (pun intended) lures them back to her abode to eat them.  If they had made the alien a male this would not have worked because it is just plain stalkerish and creepy. But somehow these guys are dumb enough to go with her, and once they enter her house it's black all around...really?? I think that this is the directors way of implying that the preys focus is entirely on the alien seductress. She slowly undresses and they let their erections lead them into black pooling water until they are swallowed up by it. They are stored there until another guy gets swallowed up and then they are eaten. Which is another bizarre conveyor type scene of red and lights. I won't go into any details about this as it was just STRANGE.  But the strangeness doesn't stop there. At one point she even picks up this deformed guy, and you are wondering is this a mercy killing or is the screenwriter that cruel??? This alien also has helpers who ride motorcycles and they never explain what they do besides the fact that we know they help her get some guys. Plus the deformed guy runs naked from the house, but wait didn't he get eaten by the black goop too???? It's a serious of event like this that made my head spin and wonder what was going on in this movie. Near the end it gets even stranger, so I'll try to explain this without spoiling it.  She runs away from her stalker van and meets a guy on the bus....goes back to his place and actually has sex with him. But immediately afterwards pulls the lamp off the table and looks at her genitals....wtf??? I won't spoil the ending for you guys but it ends just as strange as this whole movie was. I rated this 2stars out of 5 on Netflix. Honestly the only reason to watch this film is to see the starlet, Scarlett Johansson nude. Other than that don't waste your time on this heap of crap.

I have decided to do weekly wrap ups for all of the graphic novels/trades that I read.  I figured this was another way to share with the world my love of comics. Below is a list of each book as found on Amazon. I do receive a very small percentage of every sale, so if you enjoy watching my videos please help me by purchasing something. I hope that this wrap up was helpful, and entertaining.
