I noticed that this underrated sci-fi/horror film hasn't really been mentioned on this board...so I figured I'd be the first to talk about it. Anyway, I think it's an interesting slow type of dark sci-fi thriller with some trippy/nightmarish moments that definitely reminded me of Stanley Kubrick in tone and execution IMO. Also Scarlett Johansson delivered one of her best performances by using mostly her body and facial expressions as a way of conveying her alien character effectively...as opposed to the few lines that she had IMO. The ending is sort of a missed opportunity but overall I enjoyed the atmosphere/direction and her performance. And yeah, it was nice seeing her naked LOL. 8/10.

Anyone else find the film interesting?

One of my favourite British films this decade.

Yeah, it's a pretty dark yet interesting film that honestly has some of the most haunting/nightmarish scenes in recent years IMO. At times, the silence and eerie cinematography was effective enough that you almost felt like you were in a horror dream...especially the scenes in the black void. I think for an independent film it's pretty creepy but also underrated.
