'Under The Skin' (2013 ) - Jonathan Glazer.

All too infrequently does a celestially exotic Sci-fi/body horror oddity fall to earth to make such a kaleidoscopically kooky impact as the glacially beautiful, envelope-nuking, glass-ceiling negating 'Under The Skin'. Jonathan Glazer's bracingly original, sonically stimulating, visually spectacular, maddeningly oblique, but never less than fearlessly fascinating feature about Scarlett Johansson's mythical, anthropomorphically sinister exodus through the crepuscular Scottish Highlands that frequently explodes with a deliciously dazzling array of fiendishly inventive, reality warping visuals, culminating most vividly in an intimate, emotionally raw finale one rarely experiences in genre cinema. Scarlett Johansson's darkly sensual, inscrutably sinister, prettily vacant, ominously curb crawling, anthropoidally antagonistic alien most rigorously got beneath my overheated skin, she ominously oozes a preternatural otherness like a sublimely malevolent predatory angel, cast down from some vastly unknowable vector of a maddeningly obscure multiverse, a wholly innocent entity, yet needfully driven to feed pitilessly upon her fatefully beguiled human quarry. While 'Under The Skin' has a tangible, skin-prickingly oppressive darkness, there's also a fascinating luminosity to this murderously mutable alien's preternaturally perverse purgatorial peregrinations across Scotland's doomily inclement hinterlands, her surrealistic savagery strongly imbued with a unexpectedly profound pathos, and one might never again regard prosaic, ubiquitously grubby white vans with quite the same bland indifference!
