2024 movie #18. 2013. A young woman (Scarlett Johansson), who is really an alien in disguise, wanders around Scotland, lures men into her van and then kills them? A hard movie to like and the movie itself doesn't give you many clues as to what is actually happening. Critics loved it but it was booed at its premier at the Telluride Film Festival.

Something posing as human lures men to their doom.

Visually, very cool. And a lot of stuff is interestingly disturbing. The whole point seems to be the development of the character, and she remains too alien the entire time to get anything from that aspect. You don't ever get a sense of what she's thinking until two or three scenes later, and you never have anything like an understanding of the character. As far as the science fiction goes, it's as absent as possible. It's kind of like a Tarkovsky film, except not boring. Which I guess I kind of like, apparently? At it's worst, it's at least fascinating.
