Summary: If you like horror films, see this movie
Review: Just out on DVD is a small film that never made it out to the theaters past the indie circuits and small festivals. I almost want to say the movie is a black comedy and while you will laugh, you're left with thoughts of how disturbing it really is.This is a really good movie and anyone who likes horror films should not miss out on it. This movie is no where near the disturbing level of Audition from Takashi Miike, but ends up being along the same lines, so be forewarned.

Summary: Sad, haunting, excellent film
Review: I've been dying to see this movie since Ain't It Cool News named it one of the ten best movies of 2002, but the movie had a very limited theatrical release and never played in my home state. Well, I ordered it from Amazon as soon as I heard the DVD was out and I got it yesterday. Angela Bettis plays May, a girl born with a lazy eye whose demanding mother wants her daughter to be the perfect girl. She deals with the lazy eye by making May wear an eye patch at all times, but her classmates tease her ("Are you a pirate?" asks a little boy in one scene) and she grows up friendless and lonely, except for a doll her mother made and gave to her. The movie skips to the present, with May now an adult working at an animal hospital. She no longer wears the patch, but still has no friends and has never even had a boyfriend. When she sees Adam, she's convinced that he's perfect, so she gets contact lenses to correct the lazy eye and starts following him around, unsure of how to approach him. While this is happening, her sexy lesbian co-worker, Polly, starts hinting at her attraction toward May and eventually seduces her. I don't want to give away the meaty parts, but lets just say that fragile May doesn't handle rejection or disappointment well and she comes completely undone in the final third of the movie. It's heartbreaking to see a girl who's suffered so much go through such humiliation and Bettis handles the role perfectly. The "cracking glass" scene where May starts to fall apart is filled with tension, but it's nothing compared to what follows. I can't recommend this movie highly enough, but at the same time I have to warn that it's not for everyone. Despite Harry Knowles' campaign to get a wider release for the movie, it only played in a handful of test cities and film festivals and you can see why from the opening minutes. May is not a commercial movie. The victim and monster are both the same character and the ending is neither happy nor satisfying as the price May pays in the end just seems too cruel even in light of all the horrible things she's done. Compared to May, I think Donnie Darko had it pretty good. But forget all that and see May for yourselves. If you can enjoy something offbeat and dark, you'll be in for a real treat with this movie.

Summary: NEEDS SOME WORK
Review: May is not what i expected it had too much gore, enough to really make you sick. I liked the beginning and then it kind of confused me at the end. But i would recommend this movie to anyone who loves gore. I gave it two stars, hope you enjoy.

Summary: Nekromantik 3?
Review: "May" is a truly brilliant yet difficult film. It is a tale of loneliness and despair as well as one of the desire to be noticed. The main character of May, beautifully portrayed by Angela Bettis, is lost in a sea of humanity, unable to be noticed by others and incapable of communicating with anyone effectively. The film illustrates this from her early years to the present and is a solid study of a descent into complete madness. Famed critic Roger Ebert has campaigned strongly for this film and while I agree with him, I would suggest that it is not for those uninitiated with horror or the very disturbing. There are multiple sequences throughout the film that are very shocking and almost gratuitous in the display of pain and suffering. That said, for those who can handle this type of storytelling, there is much to be rewarded. If you are looking for something out of the ordinary or are a fan of seriously depraved cinema, check it out.....it may be the best film of 2003.

Summary: Bettis is Brilliant
Review: May is one of the better independent horror films to emerge in the last few years and easily one of the most interesting, insightful additions to the gore genre. However, this is no mere splatter film, but certainly packs enough thrills and spills to keep any horror fan who can appreciate the maverick intrigued. It also possesses the sort of symbolic complexity that would make a Lacanian reach for his pen to describe the dizzying relationship between the real and imaginary (this film, a veritable skip through the Hegelian "dark night of the world," definitely operates on Zizek's terrain). The great find here, however, is Bettis - an enormously gifted actress who, one hopes, will move beyond the horror genre and find projects that allow her to explore her full range. If "May" serves as any indication, she promises to astonish us.

Summary: May - 3 1/2 Stars
Review: OK, based on a lot of the reviews I've read here, I decided to give "May" a rent at my local blockbuster yesterday. I was both pleased and unsatisfied at the same time. I won't bother going through the plot since it is already outlined in some of the other reviews in great detail. The movie has a constant creepy feeling through the whole thing, which is a very good mood for a horror movie to have. I commend the directors/actors on achieving that. The story, while not exactly totally original, is rather fresh and more unique than anything I have seen in a horror flick recently. I think the shining light for this movie was the acting. "May" was played wonderfully by Angela Bettis and her character convinced me of her weirdness. The supporting cast was good enough and I liked Anna Farris as the lesbian []. It developed some very funny (albeit unintentional) humor. The downsides to the film are that I felt, quite frankly, a lot of it was boring. The first 50 minutes has pretty much nothing going on. I understand that we need the story developed and we need just how weird she is illustrated, but that doesn't change the fact that I was bored through some of it. I thought I'd been watching the movie for 40 minutes when I looked at the clock and it had been 20. Some of it is interesting, but I would say I was bored through about half of that first 50-55 minutes. And while the ending is both expected and anticipated, there is a slight (I'll call it a "twist" for lack of a better word) that is quite good. Hence earning another half a star in my book. The last 20 minutes (especially the last 5) are pretty good. I wish more of the movie was like that. All in all an entertaining horror movie that came out of left field. And while I wouldn't purchase it - I would certainly recommend a rent if it's in your taste. 3.5 Stars

Summary: Finally a Well Made Horror Film, With Depth & Substance !
Review: May, is a film that really touched me. I think that it is really sad that Hollywood can put out Sh*t like Dracula 2000 and Ghost Ship ? But something this well put together that has meaning and depth goes straight to video? This movie is one of th best horror films I have seen in a long time. And I think Angela Bettis deserves a little F**cking credit for this amazing performance! The end of the film made me cry and I am not very emotional when it comes to movies. To see a person go through life being odd and not excepted is one thing! But to see MAYs character is another! I think everyone can relate to this film in one form or another. Everyone has put trust in Man and realtionships and was felled. But this movie just shows how some take these failures harder that others. And May definitley didn't love herself enough to realize it wasn't all that serious. And I think that is what makes this film so sad in the end. To finally realize and see the self hate that she had for her own self. Arish
