Benefits from bursts of gory black humor as well as Bettis' riveting performance.

Too much of a hodgepodge of borrowed ideas and uneven tone.

Part Carrie, part Frankenstein and still shlockier bits and pieces, May isn't seamless. But boy is it hard to avert one's eyes from this creature ready-made for the midnight-movie circuit.
June 27, 2003 | Rating: 2.5/4 -
A bizarre (and sometimes repulsive) exercise that's a little too willing to swoon in its own weird embrace.

Yet, it isn't until May starts becoming Dr. Frankenstein that she gains real self assurance and suddenly Bettis' timorous mannerisms morph into a malevolent cockiness that's at once empowering and scary-as-hell all at the same time.

Apr 06, 2015A wonderfully dark and playful horror flick, May lives in the same weird vein as American Mary and Ginger Snaps, two other woman-lead wonders of the horror genre that focus primarily on femininity and exposing a certain mythos that connects vanity, self-love and loathing, sex, death and gore. Certainly smarter and more self-aware than it would like to admit, May is worth a watch or two. It isn't necessarily scary, but it leaves a mark.Harry W Super Reviewer

Aug 02, 2012A girl with a lazy eye grows up as a social outcast with a doll as her only friend; she gets corrective lenses as a young adult and is suddenly set loose on the dating world with no social skills and a dangerously loose grip on reality. An effective, creepy character study for the first two thirds, but it takes an unfortunate turn into predictable slasher territory for the climax.Greg S Super Reviewer

Apr 08, 2012I wasn't quite sure what to expect from this one, but I may be a little freaked out. Here we have a girl who lives in her own world that she's made in every sense of the word. Something on it's own, unique trip to a dark place within a darker mind; and I say alright.Eric S Super Reviewer

Mar 25, 2012May is one of the most twisted movies you're going to find. It's a wonderfully done movie about a girl who didn't just go past the breaking point, she lived there all her life. Angela Bettis created a uniquely twisted character, who I couldn't help but like. The rest of the cast is just as good. Sisto is a standard good actor in whatever he does, and this is the first movie Anna Faris showed she was more than just a Scary Movie actress. May unfolds at a methodical pace, but the happenings are put together to give the film a quiet intensity. May is a very obvious movie, which could be considered its only flaw, if you want to consider it that. I can't say enough how great a job Bettis did. I have no doubt it still would have been an OK movie, at the very least, but Bettis knocked it out of the park. I seriously couldn't recommend May to everyone, but this is a wonderfully twisted horror movie, with way more build than slashing, but is worth every second.Jason C Super Reviewer
