UNDER THE SKIN (2013) Movie Trailer: Scarlett Johansson Targets Men

Under the Skin Trailer 2. Jonathan Glazer‘s Under the Skin (2013) movie trailer stars Scarlett Johansson, Scott Dymond, Jessica Mance, Paul Brannigan, and Krystof Hádek. Under the Skin‘s plot synopsis: “In search of loners, Laura (Scarlett Johansson) drives around the exquisitely moody landscapes of the Scottish highlands. She’s an alien, sent from afar and equipped with enough human language and awesome seductive power to capture, destroy and presumably send home human males. And then, her curiosity about her human body and an accidental act of pity disrupt her mission.”

More on Scarlett Johansson’s character from the description of the book Under the Skin is based on:

Described as a “fascinating psychological thriller” (The Baltimore Sun), this entrancing novel introduces Isserley, a female driver who picks up hitchhikers with big muscles. She, herself, is tiny-like a kid peering up over the steering wheel. Scarred and awkward, yet strangely erotic and threatening, she listens to her hitchhikers as they open up to her, revealing clues about who might miss them if they should disappear. At once humane and horrifying, Under the Skin takes us on a heart-thumping ride through dangerous territory-our own moral instincts and the boundaries of compassion. A grotesque and comical allegory, a surreal representation of contemporary society run amok, Under the Skin has been internationally received

More information from a review of the Under the Skin book:

A strange woman named Isserley roams the Scottish Highlands in search of juicy, well-muscled hitchhikers in Faber’s menacing but unfulfilling debut novel (after Some Rain Must Fall, a collection of short stories). The opening chapters are suffused with an almost palpable sense of dread: Isserley picks up one hitchhiker after another and engages them in conversation, measuring them against a set of criteria of which the reader, as yet, is unaware. Some of the men are discarded and some are kept; in the process the reader learns that Isserley herself is oddly shaped, with breasts too large, legs too short, and scars everywhere.
