The Under The Skin novel is written in sparse prose but features far more explanation than the movie ever provides. Under The Skin was based on a 2000 novel by author Michel Faber that's set in Scotland, but while the book and movie sound similar on the surface, there are many differences.
Johansson received praise for her performance, as did director Jonathan Glaser for crafting such a haunting but poetic film. The movie reinforces the alien nature of its protagonist and how she experiences the world around her. Under The Skin is tonally the complete opposite, however. Species is a fun, pulpy b-movie with a surprisingly classy supporting cast, including Alfred Molina, Forest Whitaker and Ben Kingsley, but spawned a range of sleazy sequels.
