May is a psychological horror movie that takes the audience on a disturbing journey through the mind of a socially awkward young woman named May (played by Angela Bettis). May had a difficult childhood due to her lazy eye, which caused her to be an outcast among her peers. As a result, she has become introverted and distrusting of people, preferring to communicate with the dolls she creates rather than actual humans.

May is a veterinary technician, and she develops an obsession with a mechanic named Adam (played by Jeremy Sisto) after he compliments her on a unique feature of her appearance. May becomes infatuated with Adam and begins stalking him, but when he ignores her advances and grows distant, May becomes increasingly unhinged. Seeking solace, May turns to her controlling and judgmental coworker Polly (played by Anna Faris), but even that relationship turns sour when Polly makes fun of May's dolls.

As May continues to spiral out of control, her behavior becomes increasingly erratic and violent. She becomes fixated on constructing the perfect companion, using different body parts from the people she has killed to create her ultimate creation. In her delusional state, May sees nothing wrong with her actions and is convinced that her creation will be someone who will accept her unconditionally.

The film is hauntingly atmospheric, with dark imagery and an eerie soundtrack that perfectly encapsulates May's unraveling psyche. The performances are also standout, with Angela Bettis delivering a nuanced portrayal of a woman who is simultaneously sympathetic and deeply unsettling. Jeremy Sisto's portrayal of the indifferent Adam is equally effective, as is Anna Faris' portrayal of the shallow and insensitive Polly.

May's themes of loneliness, isolation and the desire for companionship are all too relatable, making the film resonate with audiences. It is a chilling reminder of what can happen when mental illness goes untreated, and how even the most well-meaning intentions can become warped and twisted in the wrong hands.

Overall, May is a strikingly original and deeply disturbing horror film. It is not for the faint of heart, and its unsettling visuals and themes of violence may be too much for some viewers. However, for those who are willing to take the journey, May is a unique and unforgettable cinematic experience.

May is a 2003 drama with a runtime of 1 hour and 34 minutes. It has received moderate reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 6.6 and a MetaScore of 58.
