May (2002) (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0303361/)
When May was a child, she was a lonely girl with one lazy eye and without any friend but a weird and ugly doll kept in a glass case given by her bizarre mother on her birthday. May becomes a lonely weird young woman, working in an animal hospital and assisting the veterinary in surgeries and sewing operated animals most of the time. Her lesbian colleague Polly has a sort of attraction for her. When the shy May meets the mechanic Adam Stubbs, she loves his hands and has a crush on him. They date, but the weirdness and bizarre behavior of May makes Adam moves away from her. Alone, May has a brief affair with Polly, but she feels rejected again when her colleague meets Ambrosia. When her doll is accidentally broken, the deranged May decides to build a friend for her, using the best parts her acquaintances can offer.
Admittedly not the greatest synopsis, but I didn't feel like typing one up myself.
Has anyone but me seen this? It's a low-budget "horror" movie starring the extremely talented Angela Bettis, Jeremy Sisto, and Anna Faris.
The first time I saw it, I was confused. Really confused. I wasn't sure if I liked it or not, but the film stuck with me, so I watched it again. The second time around, I loved it. I think that this movie is more of an acquired taste...half the people I talked to loved it and the other half hated it with the energy of a thousand suns. No matter what anyone says about it, it's not a typical "Hollywood" type of movie. Here's the trailer if anyone is interested:

I highly recommend this movie if you like horror films, even though I personally don't see it as a horror flick, not in and of itself anyway. There are horror elements, especially toward the end, but I see it as a dark drama as well. I dunno...it's hard to explain. I just know that this movie is intensely disturbing and very well done, and breaks away from the Hollywood cookie cutter.
