May Reviews

I have been wondering about this film for awhile. I wasn't sure if I would ever watch it or not. I mean it does have a decent cast, but I wasn't sure it would have my attention. I decided though during my 2016 Horrorthon I would give it a shot. Lucky McKee also wrote and directed All Cheerleaders Die and The Woman. Both of which are quite different styles of storytelling, but they are both pretty damn good. Hopefully he is consistent with this as well. Time to check it out.

Okay that was one hell of an interesting opening. It kind of feels like a horror version of something similar to say Never Been Kissed. It's definitely a very different approach the horror genre. It's on a very psychological level through the meat of the story. This causes it to be somewhat of a slow burner. That's actually quite effective here as things continuously escalate. Adam's movie was hella weird but strangely entertaining. The dark humor was amusing like the story about the dog. That daycare scene was pretty crazy. I feel the ending was really well done. It's highly disturbing and I think it leaves things up for debate.

I can kind of relate to May as I have a lazy eye and I also come off a bit socially awkward I think. Although I do have some pretty good friends. I kind of connect with Adam too with a bit of a horror obsession. I like that there are very few characters who aren't weird. Nearly everyone has something about them, but May certainly outweirds them all. I have to admit I do kind of feel sorry for her. If people had just treated her normal maybe things would have been different.

It's a very unique horror movie with a nice psychological spin to it. Of course it still has a few death scenes, but it's more about the lead up than anything else. The characters all seem to have something odd about them, but May takes the cake. I really thought Angela Bettis really had the best performance here. It was interesting to see Anna Faris play a character like this. The ending really wrapped the whole thing up into a nice creepy little bow. It's definitely worth watching if you are into the psychological horror stuff.

I like to watch this film alone, or with my good bipolar friend Jessica. At times we all feel like we have no one who wants us and that we are utterly alone. You can either listen to Mariah Carey's "Hero" OR you can go this kind of crazy! How far does the soul go to be touched? And how much hurt can one take? Where are the answers to loneliness? It is within you, is Mariah right? Or maybe you have just gone insane, and the only love you have found is within your own psychotic delusions.
