    Under the Skin (2013)

    I..don't know much about this besides the trailer I just posted. It looks like a David Lynch flick, but it's not. It's directed by Jonathan Glazer. Apparently the plot involves Scarjo as an alien harvesting humans for food. I don't even know if it's a horror film, but it looks interesting.

    I actually saw this last night after I watched Devil's Pass. Um, it's very David Cronenberg-esque. Weird, slow, borderline uninteresting. It's not really horror...more Sci-Fi than anything else really. Visually it's different in a good way but I could not recommend this one.

    No way...just...no way. For myself on a scale of 1-10 I would give this a 3.5. A 10?!?

    Looks really interesting.
    I have a feeling it's not.

    The best thing this movie has going for it is ScarJo naked. That is all.

    I still can't tell if this will be any good or not.

    This is a very good film. A film you have to sit down and really pay attention to. It doesn't spell everything out for you and you have to pay attention to really get everything the film has to offer. The cinematography is spectacular and the acting is extremely well done considering some of the people in the film weren't initially actors. It's a solid, solid flick that I would recommend to any sci-fi fan.

    8/10

    It might be too much asking your average scifi fan to enjoy this, if their usual taste is stuff like the last couple Tom Cruise movies. I wouldn't go so far as to call this an "art film", but it is definitely more arty than the average viewer seems capable of handling. I was hoping it was going to be a little more like Beyond the Black Rainbow but it's a bit more Casavetes than pre-Star Wars Lucas.

    I like cinema that doesn't fit the usual mold, especially if it's very visual and forces you to pay attention to what's happening. This is gonna be a tough sell though. What sucks is all the best parts you can't talk about with anyone who hasn't seen it because you wouldn't want to spoil all the WTF? moments.

    Since it's based on a book, I'm sure there will be plenty who will either not be surprised by the method or possibly have some kind of quibble about how this is realized. I didn't know anything about it so when this happens I was like, "okay, that's all kinds of awesome," both the method and the outcome.

    Yeah I made this thread last year, so when I watched it recently I completely forgot what it was about, even though I guessed it kind of in the beginning. The scene where


    Spoiler...
    The two guys in the goo and one explodes, was pretty amazing



    I think this movie just looked fantastic.
