May

People suck, so why not just tear off the best parts of them and create the perfect best friend? This is the general idea of the lead character May, played by Angela Bettis like a pro.

May actually has an interesting premise. Unlike most movies, she doesn't want to murder these people just for the sake of a bloodbath. She wants to murder them in order to create the perfect companion. Someone that won't freak out over little things like getting off on blood or someone that won't kick you out for a hooker with legs to kill for. Sounds fair enough right?

Despite the cool idea and some creepy scenes (pretty much every scene with that damn, fucking doll), May never really takes off in the way that it should and kinda wastes some of its' potential.

The problem that holds May back from being excellent, is that it just doesn't do enough. You know from the start that May is batshit crazy, so it gets irritating when the movie takes forever to actually...get her crazy. There's one too many scenes of May just doing absolutely nothing but staring....and doing absoutely nothing else. You know she's thinking no good, so why does the movie always seem to be one step behind?

May is a decent, well-acted, filler horror movie that doesn't deliver behind the cool storyline. It's a bit too slow and clunky to really take off and become a horror classic.
