Daily Movie Rec 9/13/2023 (Double Feature)

May (2002)

"You know how when you meet someone... and you think you like them, but then the more you talk to 'em, you see parts you don't like?"

Directed by: Lucky McKee

Cinematography by: Steve Yedlin

Country: United States

Genre: Horror

Plot:

Following a series of rejections, a lonely and disturbed young woman with deviant tastes decides to create her own partner from the best bits of others.

Reasons to watch:

It doesn't flesh May or her backstory out enough to double as a character study, but Angela Bettis slays in the title role of this indie horror film that would fit well within the canon of Female Joker movies. Her heel turn from helpless kicked-dog outcast to sultry blood-drunk Dr. Frankenstein is one for the ages.
