Under the Skin

Synopsis

An alien entity inhabits the earthly forms of a seductive young woman who combs the Scottish highways in search of the human prey it is here to plunder. It lures its isolated and forsaken male victims into an otherworldly dimension where they are stripped and consumed. But life in all its complexity starts to change the alien. It begins to see itself as 'she', as human, with tragic and terrifying consequences. UNDER THE SKIN is about seeing ourselves through alien eyes.

Statement Regisseur

I remember the first time I saw the image of this planet as photographed by man. The life-giving glow of earth held like an only child in the black eternal void.
That Godlike perspective defines us as a species that is transcending its physical limitations. In that image both our power and our fragility come into sharp focus.
It is a very alluring vision. As I began to imagine this film, I pictured an alien seeing this.
