It's hard not to compare May to Carrie, both cute, fragile and victims of circumstance. But what made the movie 'Carrie' horrible was the feeling that you could have saved the girl. 'May' is more of a comedy that way. Things I learned from this movie: If someone asks you if you're a pirate, you say YES!

Hated it. McKee's an uncomfortable little freak, and I didn't see the value in this film at all; "psychological" horrors are so often about men like McKee fetishizing the idea of insanity, and this wasn't really an exception. Not worth anyone's time.

Descent into madness played with a strong dose of absurdity but also with an underlying emotional sincerity. The balance between the two is quite effective, with the opening half hour making me wonder how this was a horror film and the last half hour being obviously horror, yet the transition is very smooth so that every scene makes sense in the context of the previous one. The supporting performances are pretty good, matching the film's tone of increasing surrealism.

Pitch-black comedy. Pace is excruciatingly slow at times and reaches a little too hard for some kind of HEATHERS like cult following but may bump up if I catch it again.

I'm going to go against the grain here - I enjoyed this way more towards the end when it turned into more of a brutal slasher movie. The slow build didn't really feel like it was going anywhere, despite strong performances from Angela Bettis and Jeremy Sisto. I just feel like the first half focused on the wrong parts of the story - instead of endless random scenes with slutty Anna Faris, give us a little more than just a blurb of May's backstory and the whole thing would come together nicer.

A low budget horror film that tells the story of an awkward young woman named May trying desperately to connect with the people around her. The cast is very small and performs well, especially the leading lady Angela Bettis who plays May perfectly. It has a slow build-up and aside form the quick flashes of horror in the beginning and a few creepy shots of a doll it doesn't feel like a horror film for a while. But stick with it and you'll find an intimate, personal, creepy story of loneliness.

What a horrible movie. I was on board for like 30 minutes and then it just became an exercise in how much stupid shit can you handle? It wasn't even a plausible scenario so therefore how can it be scary if it's set in a real world setting? Structurally, it was the equivalent of a limp penis. The payoff was so unsatisfying and all these sideplots that went nowhere. Really terrible

First half might have broken my 'most cringes per minute' record, previously set by that time I accidentally bit my exes' nose during my sister's wedding party (true story please don't ask). Angela Bettis is amazing as the titular May, she carries the film seemingly with no effort. Apparently I have a major weakness for super awkward laydees despite signs of them being mentally unbalanced. No wonder I get stabbed at least twice every weekend.

Predictable and silly ending, but the movie is a scarily realistic portrayal of a lonely and broken girl desiring what she never had.

Look at the poster of this film. Read a plot summary. Check the genres. Create expectations. TWIST: they are wrong! Lovely, original and offbeat film. Hard to label it, but you don't have to be a horror fan to enjoy it. Bettis is perfect for the role. It wouldn't be the same without her as May. Very underrated and underseen (fuck-off spellcheck). (Over)thinking why lead to some brilliant and self-affirming discoveries! (note to future self: prefrontal corvex).
