Nope, but I bloody loved the book when it came out years ago.

Is the film out now?

A voluptuous woman of unknown origin combs the highway in search of isolated or forsaken men, luring a succession of lost souls into an otherworldly lair. They are seduced, stripped of their humanity, and never heard from again

Scar-Jo, Aliens, Scotland, the word voluptuous - interest peaked.

It's the perfect STW movie: she drives a white van, has no empathy, kills people.

Spoilers, potentially:

I saw it on Friday and found it severely overrated but I was impressed by SJ's accent. Credits list two voice coaches. As a story it fails because the sophisticated alien advanced technology is ridiculously overwrought and there are too many loose threads: unexplained helpers, why eat only human men? why put on an English accent when you're an American pretending to be an alien in Glasgow? The hidden camera tracking shots were well done but the non-actors were glaringly not actors and the scripts they were given were shoddy. At least ET made sense logically, little dude got left behind whilst picking daisies. UtS doesn't make sense, it's like a bunch of music videos shoehorned together without a song.
