May is not your everyday horror movie. In fact, I'm not so sure this should even be categorized as horror. Maybe it's a little bit horror, a little bit dark comedy and a little bit tragedy. Never heard of it? Me either until a few weeks ago. It came highly recommended and I'm here to do the same.Suffice it to say it's one of those movies with lesser known actors that achieves a very satisfying texture and feel that is unique unto itself. Watching a film and feeling like you haven't already seen it or at least parts of it in other films is a rarity. But May is one of those films. "May" affords the viewer a bizarre, yet sympathetic trip inside the life of a hopeless social handicapper and provides a few nervous laughs along the way. There are many exceptional individual performances to savor as well, a rarity in the horror genre. Give this one a chance. You won't be sorry.

Horrible, just horrible. I rented this because it was mentioned in the same sentence as "Donnie Darko." What a disappointment. The characters actions/reactions make little sense and the actors obviously have a hard time with the material. May is so over-the-top with her dysfunction that she seems to have all the social skills of a 3-year-old. It made no sense for this fella to even get as far with her as he did.The nympho/lesbian co-worker provides a semi-humorous thread, but again, it is so over-the-top that it is just campy. I won't "spoil" the ending, but I will just say that it is ludicrous. The problem with over the top, for me, is that it then takes the movie out of the realm of "reality" and thus is not scary or creepy because I am no longer taking it seriously. This movie may have had tongue firmly in cheek, but regardless, just came off as very poorly executed.

I'm constantly searching for little seen, original flicks that have something more to offer than typical Hollywood fare. Being a fan of horror movies (and the fact that it is a necessity to watch one every night in Oct.) I was intrigued by MAY which showed up on a pay-per-view. It started off well enough, establishing wall flower weirdo May as an off-kilter character that isn't yet psychotic enough to not pity. The story eventually slides into the blood and shock zone as May's sanity unravels and her craziness comes to the surface. The end of the film is predictable and silly while trying to be disturbing and cool. Everyone involved is doing a decent job for an independant flick, however the plot in the second half mars what could've been a creepy character study. ONE HOUR PHOTO handled the reclusive, misunderstood creep angle with a tad more originality and compassion for it's central player. MAY on the other hand is irredeemable.

I'm a horror film fan, so based in the rating gave to this movie I rented it. Don't waste your time and money, there's no horror, is more a romantic movie with a kind of morbid end than anything else. The plot needs to be remake. However, the acting was very good, but it doesn't change anything.

A girl that takes her most prized possesion, a porcelin doll in a glass case, to her job. Unfortunately, she volunteers to teach blind 1st graders. She tells the children not to touch, but.....This is May, a little girl who grew up to be a weird woman. She is repulsive, pathetic, and psychotic.Let me put it this way, this is a long movie, too long for the anti-climax. When she makes her human doll out of human parts, cool. When she digs out her own eye for the doll, cool. When the 'doll' comes to life and moves his arm? Aw c'mon now. It would have been better if she had just died next to this lifeless, stinky thing.I would not watch it again. The chick with the great legs was hot though. You know the legs that May admired too.

Okay, so my friend and I rented this movie tonight. I dont even know how to describe it. Some parts literally left me staring at the screen with my mouth open, either out of disgust or amazement that someone could actually think up something like that. Some parts made me squirm. These are not good qualities of the movie by the way. I do want to say though, that Angela Bettis did an EXTREME acting job. Her character was unbelievable. But, I'm glad I didn't spend $9 on that movie in the theater, because most of the time, I was laughing because it was INSANE. It's kinda scary the ideas that people come up with....whatever floats your boat I guess.
