    An alright movie until the last 30 minutes, which descend into the absurd.

    This movie is garbage. If you want to see a disgusting movie, watch this. If you want to see a good movie, look elsewhere. Not scary, just disgusting. Watch this if you like watching parts of people's bodies get cut off.

    With a level of dark humor akin to the screenplays of Todd Solondz, and a visual style reminiscent of Dario Argento, May is one of the funniest, most disturbing, yet strangely touching movies of the year

    The movie subtly darkens its tone until, when the horrifying ending arrives, we can see how we got there. There is a final shot that would get laughs in another kind of film, but May earns the right to it, and it works, and we understand it.

    Writer-director McKee’s arch comic dialogue (i.e., "We’ll hang out and eat some melons or something") is out of synch with the creepy horror he wields.
