May

[vanlutz]

If you haven't seen MAY, it's a excellent movie. It's in the horror genre, but I don't consider a great "horror" movie. It's an excellent psychological portrait of a girl on the brink of madness.

Anglea Bettis portrays lonely May, and it's one of the greatest acting performances I've ever seen. There is actually one point where she's eating, wearing dark glasses and yet you still know exactly what's going through her mind.

Simply an amazing performance, and she's a sweetheart to boot.

We ALL love May! :D

Just kidding...Slasherman absolutely HATES it...And some of the people here, don't really like it...But, the MAJORITY of us either love it, or at least think it's pretty decent...

Either way we've ALL seen it (and most of us who like it, actually OWN it...like me)...Glad you like it, too

[The_Return]

...we've ALL seen it...

Dont generalize

[bloodrayne]

Dont generalizeHaHa...I was waiting for someone (shoulda figured it would be YOU) to come in and say something like "not me"

You STILL haven't caught up yet?...I thought your dad was giving you a break...

[paws the great]

I did not like May,and it is becouse of Anglea Bettis.
Sorry,I just do not like her at all.

[Elvis_Christ]

My girlfriend at the time hired this. It was better than I thought it would be. Definatley a Goff kid flick. More enjoyable than watching Dirty Dancing with her anyways.

I thought it was good, Lucky seems like a director I'll like.

[The_Return]

HaHa...I was waiting for someone (shoulda figured it would be YOU) to come in and say something like "not me"

You STILL haven't caught up yet?...I thought your dad was giving you a break...

Oh, Ive got him beat...found stores that dont ask/care how old I am:p

Its finding time that's my problem...I just dont have time to catch up. There are SOOOO many movies that I need to see, it's insane. I watch alot, but not nearly enough.

I'll move this one higher on the pile though:)

[paws the great]

Lucky Mckee is a good director.

His movie The Woods is better than May.:)

[vanlutz]

See, now I couldn't stand The Woods, it bored me to sleep. Also, Sick Girl wasn't very good, and that had AB in it.

Everyone has different tastes, but just for curiosity sake, do you know what it is that you don't like about Angela Bettis?

[paws the great]

Angela Bettis would be good in dramas or chick flicks.
I just don't like her as the lead in horror films.I think The Toolbox Murders (2004) would have been alot better had she not been in it.

Waited a long time to see May.

When finally I rented it...well, lets just say I realised why slasherman hates it with a vengeance. It just didnt fit my cup of tea.

[joshaube]

I really liked May. :) It was a good, independant-feeling flick (and the ending!). I had mixed-opinions about The Woods though. Definately doesn't touch May, but it wasn't HORRIBLE (not good either). Sick Girl was in between the two, liked it but didn't love it.

[noctuary]

I didn't really care for it all that much either. I think that The Woods is definitely a step forward for McKee, and it proved that he can make a film without lesbianism.

[The Mothman]

Either way we've ALL seen it

nope.

not me.

**CONTAINS SPOILERS**

I think the problem some horror fans have with May is, it's not really a horror movie. It's more a psychological portrait that leads to the slaughter.

This movie has a ton of excellent moments
Both laundromat scenes
Her response to Adam's homemade movie
Cutting herself and then Anna Faris
Spraying the cat with Lysol or something
Falling on her butt at the restaurant
Crossing the street and Adam doesn't notice her
When Adam stabs her with the fake knife and she doesn't flinch.
When she comes home and watches the answering machine
Calling Adam and leaving the babbling messages
Her meeting the blind girl who notices she smokes

That's just a few of the really brilliant moments that make up May's fragile profile and lead to the conclusion.

This movie was made up of a lot of little things that most horror fans don't pay attention to, because they want to see the blood. Which is why I personally don't consider this a horror movie.

Anyone who watches this more than once, take notice that Angela Bettis never uses the same expression twice.

[slasherman]

Slasherman absolutely HATES it

..thats right...I rather eat shit than to watch this crap again....

[obsessedwhorror]

I loved May. It was great in a twisted way. It was pretty creepy.
But i LOVED it!
I recommend it definitely.

People are not 100% perfect....only certain parts of them are
yeah...I love this movie!!:cool: Angela Bettis did really a good job.

btw, THE WOODS is a mediocre horror flick..it's not comparable with May.

[The Flayed One]

Even though I'm probably getting out on ignore by our Norwegian friend for this (which is a shame, but so be it) I'm going to have to say that I really enjoyed May. Even though there were certain parts that weren't so well executed, the flick had it's heart in the right place and I feel it's one of the more original flicks to come around in the last 5 years. I own it and I'm not ashamed:D

Now, if you want to talk about Boo...

...no you will not...but of course I would like to see this thread closed....:p
..anyway as long as I'm not confronted with this in threads that have nothing to do with this terrible movie your on the save side...:rolleyes:

[Roderick Usher]

Loved May. It's almost perfect in its pacing and its original take on the old Frankenstein story. Creepy, weird and absolutely a horror film-- and a really good one at that.

Really? I thought May was pretty good but I really liked The Woods.

May was a promising debut from Lucky Mckee.

I like The Woods alot better.

[obsessedwhorror]

I've never seen The Woods.
What's it about?

[slayer666]

I couldn't stand May. I made myself watch it a second time but it wasn't any better.

[slasherman]

I've never seen The Woods.
What's it about?

its a about witches ...much better than the Unspeakable but not by any means a good movie...had some okey acting...that blonde young girl did an okey role...I would'nt recomend it...
