![]() A young social outcast goes to great measures to find the perfect friend in this debut horror feature from director Lucky McKee. Set apart from her peers as a child due to her lazy eye, May's only friend and confidant was a delicate doll encased in glass. Though as a young adult May has learned to control her lazy eye with glasses and contacts, her introverted tendencies always seem to hinder her search for the perfect friend. Walking down the street one day, May happens across a young man tenderly caressing the damage of a wrecked car and falls in love with his seemingly perfect hands. As May and Adam (Jeremy Sisto) begin to spend more time together, the quirky couple seem to have much in common, and May believes that she might have finally happened across the perfect boy. Her deep-rooted psychological problems slowly surface, however, and Adam is gradually driven away, leaving the vulnerable May in the company of amorous co-worker Polly (Anna Faris). |

Such a beautiful movie that deserves even more praise than it has. Angela Bettis deserved an award for her role. |

Seen it awhile back, it was a good movie, but not my favorite. |

This. I loved her here a lot more than in Carrie (though she did well there too). |

Angela Bettis was horrible as Carrie. She is great as May though.

I liked Angela in Carrie. *shrugs* But no doubt she was better in this. She deserved an Oscar, seriously. |

YES! It really did. I want to buy that doll too and have it in the same sort of case. |

The is one of my favorite horror films. I like the characters, and May is especially well written. I hope Lucky McKee eventually makes another film that is as good as this one. I like the whole cast, especially because they are all so sympathetic. |

Agreed Vanessa! He's been involved with a few decent ones but nothing as good as this, sadly. And I like to just...ignore The Woods. |

There was supposed to be more from her childhood, but it was cut. It hinted at the ending too heavily. I got a huge crush on Jeremy Sisto after I watched it the first time. |

Glad they cut it then. Sucks they didn't include any cut stuff on the DVD. We just got a commentary or two. |

Also, with regards to May trying to create the perfect friend, the ending reminds me of the ending of an old European horror film called "The House That Screamed." Only in that film May's character was a boy and just as disturbed, and his mother ran a girl's school. |

Some Halloween I will be dressing up as May (boy version like I did with Carrie White in 2012 and Mary Mason in 2013). Not this Halloween though. I want to make my costume like May did and I don't have the time or supplies to do it this year.

Agreed. Surprised we didn't get a 10th anniversary re-release or something. :/ |
