5. Good movie. Jeremy Sisto would have gotten an Oscar...
If they ever found all of his body parts.

9. OMG that movie is terrifying!!
I'm not a big horror movie person, but I caught this one on HBO and was creeped out for weeks! That was like a year ago, and even now if I think about it I get the shudders. :scared:

10. Freaky, and so unlike any other horror flick
I think that's what made it so scary...it didn't follow the typical "6 teens in a cabin and a crazed killer" formula.

So in essence, you had no idea what was going to happen next.

And the movie just built this sense of dread up until the end.

12. The actress was really good too.
I don't know her name, but she played that part to a tee. Yeah, so many scary parts, you can't even pinpoint the worst part, it's ALL creepy!

:scared: :scared: :scared:

14. Hehehe no kidding!
WAY too many scary "parts." The more I think about it I don't know if I can actually say I saw this entire movie, because I had my hands over my eyes for about 40 percent of it.

(Yet again) :scared: :scared: :scared:

(And also) :wow:

(Then one more) :scared:

16. Nope. But it takes it's queue from a lot of Italian giallo flicks
Similar in theme and style, but again, it's its own movie.

If you like horror flicks, you can't miss this one.

Or High Tension either (which is a foreign flick)

18. Reviews here
http://www.moria.co.nz/horror/may.htm

http://www.horror.com/php/article-34-1.html

Some good reviews

Basically the synopsis is here :

The very strange May works as a veterinary assistant. She is extremely shy and claims her best friend is Suzie, a doll that she was given as a child but never takes from its glass case. She befriends Adam, a guy she passes in the streets and keeps encountering. The two go out but he eventually finds her too weird and leaves. She next allows her lesbian co-worker Polly to seduce her but is hurt when she finds Polly with another woman. She becomes increasingly more upset. And then after a group of blind children at the school where she volunteers break open Suzie’s glass case, she snaps.

Angela Bettis plays May.
