10 Best Horror Romances

7. May (Lucky McKee 2007)

May Growing up, the titular character May (Angela Beattis), was a lonely and odd child with a lazy eye. May only had one friend which was a glass enclosed doll named Suzie. As an adult, May tries to make interactions with others but lacks the social skills necessary to make a proper connection. Eventually she manages to form a relationship with a guy named Adam (Jeremy Sisto) who appreciates how weird she is. May works in a school for disabled children and really likes working with blind children until they accidentally break Suzie. This coincides with Adam rejecting her for being too weird. All of it proves to be too much for May who begins her murderous rampage, collecting body parts of people to Frankenstein a new friend from qualities she adores in others. May is a touching film because May desperately wants to be accepted for who she is, especially by someone she is dating. The break in her psyche comes when she finds out she is too weird for the person who appreciated that aspect of her. Adam rejecting her solidifies her hopelessness. May is a lonely and clingy person desperate for a connection, yet she destroys any connection she makes because she is lonely and clingy. She goes on her spree in order to break that depressing cycle. You feel bad for her, yet at the same time you wouldn't want to be her friend...especially when she starts hacking people up.
