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). It soon becomes obvious to May that, though various acquaintances seem to have perfect traits, they never add up to a perfect whole -- leading the creative and demented young girl to her own unique method of creating the perfect friend. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

    This is not for everyone, this is one of those "thinking" movies. It's not scary in its actions, but through the mundane details turned torturous. That is true horror. I will admit it does take a while to fully understand the intricacies, but it is well worth the wait. Think of it as watching the making of the serial killer, not just the bloody after effects that most horror movies provide.

    I stumbled upon a Roger Ebert recommendation of this movie, and am glad I did. It's wonderfully creepy and sleazy, with a strong sexual tone as well. The story isn't perfect -- too many things go unexplained throughout, especially at "the turn" -- but it's so interesting that it doesn't matter. If you like bizarre but not just a gore-fest, then you'll like this dark, strange film. Acting is first-rate, with promising direction. Rent it!

    This was a psycho movie. Yes, it shows a basic need of friendship and companionship and what we will do to get it. Even if we have to invent it for ourselves. Give this one a try!
