In Under the Skin, a beautiful woman prowls the streets of Glasgow from the driver's seat of a van. Men take one look at her in a faux fur coat and coral lipstick, deeming her unthreatening, climbing in without hesitation when she offers them a ride, with no idea that they're about to meet a grisly end in an alien void. She doesn't have to hunt – the men come to her.
That woman, credited only as the Female, is played by Scarlett Johansson. The role was a change of pace for the actor, whose other releases around the same time included family-friendly Hollywood fare like The Avengers and We Bought a Zoo.
