UNDER THE SKIN: NITOL HAS COMPETITION

This snooze fest did little more than anger me while I watched. Trust me when I say that's something because I'm usually pretty level headed and firmly believe that life is too short to dwell on the bad things in life. That being said I don't intend to dwell too much in writing about this movie because it was indeed one of the worst things in life to be found.

Story: a girl wakes up, takes the skin and clothes off another girl who looks just like her, leaves and begins trying to pick up men. With each one she lures them to a secluded location that always looks like a black room where they follow her as she disrobes doing the same and then walking slowly into the floor (which looks like black oil) only to go under and disappear allowing her to move on to her next victim. As the movie progresses she encounters different men and we later discover that she is in fact an alien observing humans. The end.

Seriously, this movie was so completely boring that even if viewed using the fast forward button it would be tedious at best. Some of the cinematography is worthwhile and the effects of walking into the dark pool are interesting the first time around but that's it. That's all the good things this movie has to offer.

I have little doubt in my mind that there will be pseudo-intellectuals who will hail this film as the next best thing since sliced bread (which I would guess they think is trite and common place) and all they will do by loving the film is display the emptiness with which they fill their minds. I noticed the praises heaped on this dung heap on the front of the box and yes, they do indeed come from sources that like to think of movies like this as art rather than admit that they had no clue what they were watching. To do so would be to lose credibility in those upper crusts societies they belong to. This truly is a movie to be avoided at all costs.

There is one type of person who will honestly love this movie without bringing their pretentious outlook to it. That's the peeping tom viewer that has been dying to get a good glimpse of Scarlett Johansson naked. That is if there wasn't a body double being used but it didn't seem so. Those people will find bliss in this film. The rest will be struggling not to find a sharp object with which to gouge out their eyes.
