May

"May never really fit in and growing up with a pirate's patch to cover her lazy eye did not make things easier. Even as an adult her best friend and sole companion is a doll given to her by her mother... until she sees Adam. In awe of his beauty especially his hands she pursues a relationship for the first time in her life. But she soon finds out that people are not 100% perfect... only certain parts of them are!"

Well here comes the anxiety of the risks of dating and psycho women again thanks to May. But all of that aside it is an outstanding movie from Lucky McKee. I heard a lot about May in the run up to the release of The Woman. Like The Woman this movie was made from outstanding performances and direction. I guess it is safe to say that I am on board the Lucky McKee wagon and will see any of his future films for his outstanding ability to get the most out of his actors and really set an excellent atmosphere through music and direction. Like The Woman extra consideration needs to be given to Angela Bettis as the shy, awkward, and obviously not quite right in the head May. What's most disturbing about May is how you are charmed by this poor girl who doesn't fit in and though you know she's a complete psycho and bad things are going to happen you fall for her none the less. Well worth the time for horror fans and fans of excellent performances.
