A native of Austin , Texas Angela Bettis has carved out her niche as an actress in small independent horror movies. She started out with bit parts in bigger Hollywood movies in the late 90s but really turned heads as the creepy and unhinged loner in Lucky McKee's 2002 film "May". Over the next four reviews we'll take a closer look at some of her best roles.
"May" is very reminiscent of Roman Polanski's "Repulsion" about a young girls loneliness and eventual descent into madness. "May" does have a bunch of comedic moments though that even out the horrific ones. Adam admits he likes "weird", but when May crosses the line and takes it a bit to far, Adam starts to push away from May and want her out of his life. It's not that easy for May as she finally snaps and goes on a mission to create the perfect person (see "Frankenstein").
"May" is a movie for weird people and about weird people. If you ever felt like you just don't fit in anywhere you'll love this movie. Every actor is perfectly cast and Director Lucky Mckee (who is a bit weird himself) gets great performances from all. The DVD also has a few commentary tracks which are always fun. So take a look at "May" today!
