May
May is one of the finest examples of independent American genre filmmaking in recent years. Too character-oriented to fit comfortably into the horror genre, and too gory to be labeled a straightforward character study, May is, much like its title character, a quirky but strangely appealing mixture of emotions that gets under your skin and stays with you long after the final credits have rolled.
As part of DVD Times' continuing Halloween special, I've reviewed May, a wonderfully inventive portrait of loneliness and insanity and easily one of the best American horror films to appear in the last 10 years. Lions Gate's R0 US DVD features a decent transfer and a couple of nice commentaries, but that's as far as it goes.
