**** out of **** There will never really be a slasher to save such a sub-genre. I don't like to think that any film deserves that much recognition, and plus, I don't even like the horror sub-genre of "the slasher film" that much, and for good reason. There are slasher films that I love ("The Texas Chainsaw Massacre", "Halloween") and then there are those that I find tasteless and boring ("Friday the 13th"). I'm a fan and an admirer of horror cinema for many reasons, and whenever … more
As a young girl, May's severe lazy eye made her shy and socially acceptable as a target for persecution. Her demanding and obsessive mother twisted that beginning into something else entirely. The bizarre glass encased doll she gives to her troubled girl becomes May's only friend, and long after mother is gone, the doll continues to be May's truest confidante.

One look at her film resume & we can be restfully assured she is every bit an actress although her name rarely comes up in conversation amongst moviephiles as often as it should. Perhaps she is yet to secure the role which will not only define her as a serious actress & tap into unknown dimensions we've yet to experience. I do have faith she will one day nab … more
May is not normal. At first, you think there is a possibility that she could be misunderstood, but May is definitely not normal. She gives a whole new meaning to the word 'Freak'. May grows up being different, wearing an eye patch because of a lazy eye. Mommy and Daddy give her a doll to be her friend, a doll that is one of those 'look but don't touch' dolls. If you can't meet friends, then make one. May matures, and we pick up with her as she is working for a Veterinarian as his assistant. She … more
Pros: The message is pretty strong, Angela Bettis plays a great May Cons: May be to gruesome, weird for some. The Bottom Line: A weird, but powerful film. Not for light-of-stomach.
