May

About This Movie

So, 'May' is one of those films that lingers with you, right? Lucky McKee really nails that off-kilter tone, blending comedy and horror in this bizarre character study. Angela Bettis as May is genuinely unsettling yet relatable. Her obsession with perfection is both fascinating and disturbing, and the pacing allows you to sit with the discomfort. The practical effects, especially towards the end, are striking; they ground the freakiness in a way that CGI just can’t match. It's curious how the film mixes awkward romance with darker themes of isolation and desire. Not your typical horror fare, but it definitely resonates in a unique way. There’s a certain atmosphere that just feels...off, in the best way possible.
