MJB784 Ok. I really didn't get what was so good or scary about the movie. It was interesting at first, but it too over an hour before she killed her first victim and there's not much to her personality. I think she's boring and the end doesn't make sense: The body moves? Did she imagine that? Also, she cuts out her eye to give the body an eye? It just doesn't seem focused. Perhaps if it didn't take too long for the violence then there could been more story and interest.

lorcan-61881 May tells a very messed up story of May,a young lady who has no friends except for a doll,one day,May makes friends with a man she most admires for his hands. After a while,May then makes a friend with her lesbian friend Polly,after the two ignore May for quite some time,May goes on a murdering killing spree to create her very own friend. This movie is very uncomfortable and very weird. The movie plays as a drama and then turns into a gory horror film. There were scenes in this that gave me goosebumps cause else would be better than the weird,skinny shy little Angela Bettis to play a weird,skinny,shy young woman. May is a very unusual disturbing film but still a very good horror film.

longcooljolie This movie was on Xfinity on demand and available on my Kindle. I was aware of it for a long time because the trailer was on my VHS copy of "House of 1000 corpses" which I watch every Halloween.First off, it feels like an indie flick with it's non self-consciousness and quirky (though very effective) musical score. It has a cast of unknowns who, except for Ana Faris, have stayed unknown. But of course that doesn't take away from the quality of the acting and direction which is top-notch for what must have been a low budget.The best thing to say on the story is that it's a modern day take on a Frankenstein tale combined with a young girl version of Taxi Driver. For the first hour it has a languid pace which is the reason for the word tedious in my review title. But it holds your interest and of course there's a payoff at the end.Gore fans might be disappointing because there are very sparing quantities of that, just enough to get the story across. But for fans of intelligent horror that makes you feel something (other than shock or disgust) this one is very worthwhile.

Poptart_Psycho Well what can I say, I was more than impressed with Lucky McKee,s movie. A horror with a mix of thriller and gore with brilliant character insight.In my opinion I think the movie poses the question was May always a bit crazy and the rejection pushed her over the edge or was she sane but pushed over by the lack of affection? The tagline is 'If you cant make friends build them' which is used throughout them.At the start of the film we learn about May, as a child she was diagnosed with a lazy eye much to her over bearing mothers disappointment who wanted a 'perfect child' she was a loner who had no friends. Her mother gave her a china doll named Susie who she adored and has kept forever. Nothing to say she was dangerous just a little different. May is a veterinary assistant at the local animal hospital which she enjoys.We start to see May finding attraction in handsome Adam, a mechanic nearby like May he seems quite quiet and reserved. Adam also makes films on the side. The couple start to get closer by sharing cigarettes and going for lunch. After showing May one of his movies 'Jack and Jill' based on cannibalism May takes it to literally, mocking her kissing techniques he doesn't want to date May anymore making her feel lonely...Along came Polly... One of Mays colleagues at work is flirtatious lesbian Polly who has a somewhat kind of attraction over May. Always seeming to flirt around may, after the Adam incident May is feeling lonely so seeks comfort in the woman. The pair have a brief dating relationship until one day May comes knocking to see Polly has a new girl called Ambrosia. Again May is feeling more rejected and close to the final straw...The last nail in the coffin... Being rejected by all her 'friends' May decides to volunteer at a day care centre for blind children. Meeting ironically a loner girl who she helps bring into the group. One day she decides to bring in Susie her china doll in a glass case. Unintentionally the blind children get excited and accidentally break the doll sending May into despair.Full blown psycho... Sadly at this point Mays mental state darkens, rejected by everyone shes got close to and the breaking of beloved Susie its gone to far. Now she really has taking her mother words and the movies tagline too far, feeling the only way she can have the perfect friend by having body parts of all those closest to her.This movie is dark and humorous at times and highlights issues we as society ignore.
