I am not going to spend too much time with this review,
because it is certainly not worth the effort.
"May" is one of the worst attempts at a horror
film I have ever seen, and on the heels of such treats as
"The Ring" and "Darkness Falls", I have
to say this might be one of the worst horror films I have
seen in my entire life, and that includes all of those
cheesy Full Moon Entertainment ventures like "Blood
Dolls" and "Shrieker".
Angela Bettis stars as May. May is lonely. May
wants companionship. May decides to start killing
people and using their parts to create a Frankenstein like
creature to be her friend. Where is the horror?
Well, the horror is suppose to come when May kills people.
Why doesn't it come? Because May is not scary.
Sometimes, she is a little creepy, but in a "Welcome to
the Dollhouse" kind of way, not a "Carrie"
kind of way. And, what was with all the gore? I
like blood and violence in a horror flick just as much as
the next guy, but the blood and gore in "May"
seemed out of place and completely overused. Slap an
NC-17 rating on this one and maybe it will prevent more
people from being subjected to it.
How can a movie be so wretched? Well, my friends, that
is a difficult question with a simple answer: a movie
can be so wretched because the script is wretched.
Without a good script, there can be no good final product.
This one was penned and directed by Lucky McKee. Never
heard of that name and I hopefully never will again.
So, in conclusion, I will say that "May" is the
worst film I have seen, thus far, in 2003, and will probably
either op, or b close to the top on my End of the Year list
for the worst films I have seen. I feel extremely bad
for the horror genre, because that is what "May"
is billed as. Why can't they have a genre called Crap.
If they did, "May" would have little difficulty
fitting in, I can assure you.
