I'll make this short and sweet. I don't get freaked out over movies. I never flinched when the killer jumps out of the closet and I never cover my eyes when the monster bursts out of the guy's chest. Blood does not scare me. Psychos do not scare me. Ghosts do not scare me. Little children crawling on glass...yeah, that got me. There is something strange and wonderful and terrible about this movie. Maybe it is the slow build to the inescapable conclusion. Or maybe the brilliant portrayal of May by Angela Bettis. Maybe it IS the blood that comes in copious amounts (once it actually starts coming) or the very dark humor of the film or the way the script has May becoming almost cooler than cool in the end. Whatever it is, this is quite simply the freakiest movie I have ever sat through. "Disturbing" does not convey the level of anxiety and excitement and, yes, lust and affection that I had for Ms. Bettis' May by the third reel. I cant' really explain it...it just IS freaky. This movie is headed to the top of two great film genres: Cult and Psycho Horrer. For the love of all that is grisly and macabre, rent this film!!!
