10 Horror Films That Are Really Something Else

10. Under The Skin

In Under the Skin, an alien (Scarlett Johansson) poses as a beautiful woman, to seduce unsuspecting men before consuming their bodies.

Because of the early buzz, it looked like this stripped down sci-fi flick was destined to become a classic. Sadly, the masses didn't gravitate towards Under the Skin, causing it to tank at the box office.

This is a shame, since there's really nothing else like it. Rather than emphasising the sci-fi, Under the Skin maintains focus on the human element, which keeps the fantastical story grounded in reality.

Now, some filmmakers use non-actors in their work, so the characters appear more authentic. But director, Jonathan Glazer, took things one step further. Not only did he cast many non-actors for Under the Skin, they didn't know they were starring in a movie! Glazer recorded their scenes with hidden cameras, so the "actors" were oblivious they were being filmed.

But that's not all Under the Skin has to offer. Due to the tantalising atmosphere, gorgeous score, chilling imagery, and Johansson's subtle performance, Under the Skin is one of the most unforgettable horror features released in the last decade.
