Creepy Fembot

"She has flexible silicone for skin rather than hard plastic, and a number of sensors and motors to allow her to turn and react in a human-like manner.She can flutter her eyelids and move her hands like a human. She even appears to breathe."
Why is it that robots that are designed to look like humans are so disturbing?

Looking at a still image of her doesn't creep me out (she looks pleasant enough to me), but seeing a video of her movements just might make my reactions to her descend into an Uncanny Valley.
