So Under the Skin has to be one of the weirdest alien films I have ever seen I think, both in story and visual concept it is not what we are used to after seeing Hollywood overblown CGI movies of recent years. Instead this one is simple in its retelling of a story. We meet our unnamed protagonist, who has been removed from a ditch somewhere, and has her clothes removed by another unknown. Then we meet her as she trawls the streets of Glasgow in her transit van, scoping out men by themselves. That bit I found interesting, maybe it gives men an idea of what if feels like to be a woman out on the streets by herself.
Anyways I don't want to give it all away, Wikipedia tells the whole plot. I might just suggest that this is not a movie for the kids, it is definitely an adult show, and a serious one at that. No cuddly cute aliens here. It will be on of those movies that will stick with me for a while with some memorable moments, 4/5
