May is a haunting character study that sinks its hooks into you slowly. We follow May Dove Canady, a socially isolated veterinary assistant whose lazy eye and desperate craving for genuine connection set her apart. Her world narrows to an obsessive fixation on a boy with perfect hands, leading down a path where love curdles into something far more sinister. As she collects pieces of the people she meets, the line between needing affection and needing control blurs, crafting an unsettling meditation on loneliness, body dysmorphia, and the monstrous lengths we go to feel whole. Lucky McKee’s vision is a deeply atmospheric and perturbing journey that lingers long after the credits roll.

User Reviews
GoreHound84 – 7/10
“Not a jump-scare fest, but the slow-burn unease really got under my skin. The hand obsession was weirdly hypnotic and the ending felt earned. Definitely a hidden gem for fans of psychological horror.”
ScaryFan88 – 6/10
“I appreciated the character depth and the acting, especially from the lead. But I felt the pacing dragged in a few places. Still, it has a weird charm that keeps you watching. Worth a look.”
MidnightReaper – 5/10
“Personally, I found it more tragic than terrifying. The gore was minimal and the scares were more psychological, which isn't really my thing. But if you like artsy horror, you might enjoy it more than I did.”
FrightNightFanatic – 8/10
“This one surprised me. It's not your typical slasher, it's a creepy character piece that gets under your skin. The descent into madness is so well done. I was on edge the whole time!”
