Featured review
This film tells the story of an alien who takes on human form, luring young men into death by mesmerizing them into a pool of dark water.
I could not believe how slow the pacing is. I can easily watch it at double the does and not miss a thing. The first dialog comes after thirteen minutes into the film, and everything is super slow. It feels as if this film is designed to test the limit of endurance. The plot is almost empty, there is really only enough story to fill twenty minutes of screen time. Those eerie sounding sound effects are annoying too, adding nothing to the weird atmosphere.
"Under the Skin" is really beyond horrendous. I was bored thoroughly, and I wish I could get back my two hours of wasted time.
