10 Horror Movies Shot From The Killer’s Perspective

Lucky McKee's cult classic May follows its lonely title character (Angela Bettis) as her attempts to connect with those around her go disastrously wrong, signalling her transformation into a serial killer.

May is ultimately less a slasher film than it is a character study, as McKee sticks with her in almost every single scene, offering the audience little respite from May's increasingly troubled path.

But thanks to empathetic filmmaking and a fantastic performance from Angela Bettis, it's also impossible to look away from her increasingly fraught situation as the bodies start piling up.

While most horror films would put us as at a critical distance from a character like May, allowing us to see only slivers of her life through the eyes of the heroes, McKee doubles down, getting deep into the trenches with his embattled villain protagonist, allowing us to fixate on every sorry aspect of her tragic, isolated existence.
