No real backstory
- The Under The Skin movie is more cryptic in its approach, providing no real backstory for Scarlett Johansson's The Female. The movie's most famous visual is how she lures men into a black room, with the men then sliding into the oil-like floor where they dissolve and only their skin is left.

Unlike other horror or sci-fi movies, this one seems straight up from the 80s – abstract, polymorphic references, minimal use of CGI and most importantly, a scintillating cinematography. Be it the opening sequence or capturing the scenic beauties of Scotland or the leading lady herself, the genius of British cinematographer Daniel Landin says it al...
From a lay man’s point of reference, to start with, there’s a woman who, whilst driving relentlessly through the streets of Glasgow, Scotland, meets up men who are purportedly her victims. The woman is an alien (although it is not clearly revealed to the viewers until at a later point in the movie) and presumably, she is harvesting humans for their...
The opening scene easily raises a lot of questions in the mind of an “alien” enthusiast. There’s a small dot-like appearance which grows in proportion until the time it becomes clear that what we’re really looking at is essentially a human eye, though the process looks a lot like a camera lens disassembling and snapping back together again. All the...
The brief and almost unnoticed moment when we see a bunch of moving lights above the clouds could be an explanation for the set of events that took place in the previous scene. Perhaps the incumbent alien was “delivered” recently by the mothership and this very moment establishes the fact that more or less, the three (the biker, the woman and the d...
After the alien ship passes by, she (the alien) could be seen climbing down the stairs of a building and entering the van and assuming control of the driver’s seat, while the biker could be seen exiting the van with his bike from the rear end and departing. With the camera switching between the first person and the third person, the alien could be ...
As he undresses completely while following her trail, he starts submerging into the floor, in what looks like a pool of water. Once he’s completely in, she walks back, collects her clothing from the floor and starts on her prowl again. Interpretation – The victims are possibly hypnotized to follow her into the abyss and follow or repeat what she’s ...
By the time the third victim enters the pool (being only the second victim who is shown entering it, given that the diver wasn’t shown explicitly as to where he went), things become clear on what the void is and how it works, despite raising a lot of questions: Interpretation 1: The void typically is present across abandoned houses which the woman ...
As the victim enters and submerges within the pool, we get to see what’s “inside” for the very first time. Things become more or less Grayscale, and the third victim sees another person who is visibly bloated (perhaps due to the longer time spent inside the pool) but looks as if he’s not dead. Not yet. The mystery bloated man tries to touch our cur...
The biker, who’s also the so-far an established handler of the alien, has come to notice her reluctance in “turning” people in, given her increasing and deeper understanding of human emotions after the so-called victimizations. The following could be the reasons on how she’s turning out to be more and more human with each passing moment- 1. The Tho...
The “Man with a deformed face” ordeal is followed by a hazy scene, wherein the alien is apparently in some sort of highland with haze and fog, while the biker is now looking into the same very mirror which was looked upon by the alien. Once done, the biker appears hazy himself, given the fact that relying on the alien is no longer an option, for sh...
