Under the Skin - A24 Films - Blu-ray and DVD Director: Jonathan Glazer Cast: Scarlett Johansson, Antonia Campbell-Hughes,Michael Moreland. Full cast + crew Considering it's about an alien (Scarlett Johansson) who visits the remote countryside of Scotland, most people are calling Under the Skin a sci-fi movie. And that's certainly fair game, but that doesn't really sell how utterly terrifying Jonathan Glazer's film is at times. It's not strictly a horror movie, but some of the scenes and imagery here are more bone chilling and unforgettable than anything I've seen in a strict horror movie so far in 2014.  Beautiful and haunting, Under the Skin is a hard film to enjoy, but an easy film to appreciate. Certainly recommended...

To mark the release of Under The Skin on 14th July, we’ve been given 3 copies to give away on Blu-ray.

Adapted from Michael Faber’s novel of the same name, Under The Skin has undergone a decade-long transition from page to screen, with performances heightened in the finished film by Glazer’s singular decision to shoot many of Johansson’s scenes as unscripted conversations with non-actors, using hidden cameras. Johansson’s revealing performance excitingly displays a further willingness to not only bare her own skin, but to deviate from convention as her character battles with burgeoning emotions in a world filled with feeling. Unsure as to why she acts the way she does, the conflicted emotion she gradually feels for her victims endangers her own existence.

Joining Johansson and the numerous unknowns are rising stars Paul Brannigan (The Angel’s Share) and Michael Moreland (Filth).

Men are so easy. Just ask Scarlett Johansson’s out-of-this-world character in Jonathan Glazer’s “Under the Skin”, based on the book by Michael Faber. Frankly, advance word of the film’s rather episodic, wandering ways just means the movie is a too-faithful adaptation of the Faber book, which was pretty episodic and wandering. Or at least, it was for the first 60-70 or so pages I managed to get through. Here’s an extended trailer for “Under The Skin”, in which ScarJo plays an alien seductress who prowls the streets, alleyways, and highways of Scotland looking for willing victims. (And yes, they are apparently very willing. Suckers!) She then, we presume, has her way with them. Or does something to them that involves them never being seen again. Frankly, I’m not sure. Hopefully they all went with a smile. “Under the Skin” also stars Krystof Hádek, Paul Brannigan,...
