Directed by Lucky McKee • 2002 • United States
Starring Angela Bettis, Jeremy Sisto, Anna Faris
By turns disturbing, darkly humorous, and curiously moving, this slasher take on the Frankenstein myth follows misunderstood misfit May (Angela Bettis) as she attempts and continuously fails to connect with other humans. When her fumbling attempts at romance lead yet again to social rejection, May decides to take matters into her own hands to create her own perfect companion. Built around Bettis’s captivatingly off-kilter performance, Lucky McKee’s utterly original feature debut has taken its place as a new cult classic.
