May (2002)
9/10
Wonderfully twisted horror/black comedy.

"May" is actually one of my favourite American independent horror movies.It's wonderfully original and twisted film that will leave the viewer stunned.When May was a little girl,her mother made her wear an eye patch to cover her lazy eye.Unable to make friends,she had only a sad little doll.But with contact lenses to improve her appearance,May (wonderful Angela Bettis)earns the attention of her lesbian co-worker(Anna Faris)and the handsome man down the street(Jeremy Sisto from "Hideaway" and "Wrong Turn").May,however,proves to be too strange for even the oddest of her companions and once people get to know her they soon start to avoid her.Lonely and rejected May kills everyone who offended her.The character of May is truly bizarre.The acting is pretty good and there is plenty of gore,especially in the second half of the film.The climax is very haunting and memorable.Overall,I'd highly recommend this film for fans of horror.9 out of 10.
