Use "Under the Skin" to build an "Alien" trilogy, Reivew on Under the Skin

The film tells the story of an alien living on human flesh and blood, but after several hunts, he gradually developed the idea of becoming a human, so he escaped the current state of existence, but was eventually swallowed up by the difference between himself and humans. Scotland, with its dark and cold winters, provided the perfect setting for the film, and it fit in perfectly with the film's atmosphere.

Nicholas Roeg's "The Outsider" and Daft Punk's "Electromagnetic Man" are similar in theme and atmosphere. After watching this film, these two movies are also the first thing that comes to my mind. The efforts in plot construction of "The Outsider" are not too far away from ordinary movies, while the semi-autobiographical film of stupid punk is quite literary and artistic, with long shots at every turn, and without a single line. It should be said that this film can be regarded as the alien sister of "Electromagnetic Man".

But these three films are all about the relationship between "aliens" and human beings, and the tone is sad and alienating, different from ordinary Hollywood sci-fi dramas. I recommend that you all watch these together.
