IF YOU CAN'T FIND A FRIEND... MAKE ONE

In this horror cult classic from writer-director Lucky McKee, May (Angela Bettis) is a socially awkward veterinary assistant with a lazy eye and an obsession with perfection. Never really fitting in, she grew up wearing a pirate’s patch, and her sole companion continues to be a perfectly kept doll — until she meets handsome Adam (Jeremy Sisto) and his beautiful hands. As May’s relationships with Adam and an alluring colleague (Anna Faris) descend into depravity, she soon finds out that people are not 100% perfect — only certain parts of them are.

May is nothing short of brilliant. It is likely the most original horror story I have seen in years.” Jovanka Vuckovic, Rue Morgue

4/4 stars! May is a horror film and something more and deeper, something disturbing and oddly moving.” Roger Ebert
