10 Movies Nobody Could Stop Thinking About
10. Under The Skin
Under the Skin certainly isn't a movie that'll work for everyone, but it is a movie that, well, has its title for a damn good reason.
Jonathan Glazer's sci-fi film about an alien humanoid (Scarlett Johansson) preying on men in Scotland is like no entry into the genre you've ever seen before.
While at first glance it might seem like the "arthouse" equivalent of Species - given that Johansson's alien uses her sexuality to lure men to their doom - Glazer focuses instead on just how fundamentally weird the human experience would be to an outside entity.
With brilliantly restrained detachment, Johansson expertly portrays a creature struggling to make sense of Earth and the strange people on it, while Glazer avoids most of the expected genre elements in favour of a more grounded, often horrifyingly realistic treatment.
And above all else, there's a scene involving a beach and a baby boy that'll haunt your dreams for weeks, whether you love or hate the film.
