10 Sci-Fi Horror Movies That Broke All The Rules
1. Under The Skin
Released in 2014 to critical acclaim and mainstream disinterest, Under the Skin is a rare cinematic effort from Birth helmer Jonathan Glazer, and is as frustratingly impossible to categorize in generic terms as the rest of his output.
This arty effort takes the perspective of the alien “monster” rather than its human victims, completely rewriting the rules of alien invasion movies by centring the invader as the protagonist through whose eyes the viewer sees the film's world.
And it is a brutal world wherein humans are often as evil, if not worse, than this amoral alien, resulting in a sobering slice of sci-fi horror destined to leave viewers wondering about society, culture, gender, and individual responsibility.
Not bad for a film which can be accurately summarised as "a Scottish Species".
