"Exactly the kind of unexpected delight one hopes for every time the lights go down." - Mary Olsen, L.A. Weekly
This 2002 indie slasher was made on just a $500,000 budget. It features a few known actors including Anna Faris (Scary Movie, Just Friends) and Jeremy Sisto (Clueless, Six Feet Under). The film did not do well at the box office but it generally received positive reviews from respectable critics.
May has been a misfit ever since she was a child. Due to her lazy eye, she had a really hard time making friends. Now that she's an adult, May's only friend is still an encased doll her mom gave her. Still struggling to meet friends, she develops a hobby that helps her cope with her loneliness. Her motto is "if you can't find a friend, make one." May begins meeting new people and does exactly that.
May is one of the most original horror films in the last 15 years. It opens doors to several phobias that one probably hasn't even thought of. The lead, Angela Bettis, is an incredible actress and without her performance, the movie wouldn't be nearly as creepy as it is.
