Horror movies are wonderful primary things. They can be joyful jump experiences, slow burns outstretched in an atmosphere of fear, deeply disturbing temptations that peel consciousness, or, in rare cases, all these things and more in an extraordinary equal measure. And, when the fans of the genre run through a film that colored it ecstatically out of the lines, it stops in a way that no other horror movie dared to stop before, they tend to get into the bite.

I don't know exactly when I bitten the horror bug, but, like many Fansbibht Generation X Fright, I can certainly credit the Danny Gifford Cafe Book "Similar History of Horror Movies" With inflammation of my smell. I spent countless hours after the shiny pages of photos and lobby cards that included everything from the classics of a quiet era, like the "Cabinet of D -Caligari" to the shockingly celebrated horror films of the 1970s. I wanted to swallow all these films and I didn't care if many of them were shot in black and white. The monsters, eerie, the beautiful design of production and, yes, huge amounts of blood. At this early stage of my life, it was all a discovery.

Horror fans chase that sense of discovery forever. They long for a high level of those early universal monsters, GEORGEORCE A. Romeroand the visceral invented terror on the recording of the "Witch Project". They want to knock out aside from the next "wicked dead", "re-animator" or "in my skin"-and it's not strict for personal pleasure. For all the lovers of the film, but especially horror -affysions, there is nothing better than recommending a friend's film or acquaintance that you know will blow their minds. And if you are lucky, you have to look with them because it works its perverted magic.

Therefore, I am thrilled that one of the most exciting original horror films of the 21st century is soon to return to the Cinefil discourse through its first Blu-ray edition in the region.

If there is a horror fanatical in your life, there is a decent chance You heard the good news of "May" on Lucky Soft. The film caused a slight mix of Sundance Film Festival in 2002 and received a number of enthusiastic reviews from prominent critics (including Rive with four starves From Roger Ebert), but Lionsgate gave a heavy, poorly promoted release in February 2003. "May" found a small cult after it hit DVD later that year, but social media, which could turn it into a buzz sensation, was virtually non-existent at the time. You already had to be in knowledge (ie reading websites with films-to-like films such as it is not a cool news.

If this is the first you heard about "May", I recommend getting as cold as possible. Brilliant Angela Betis acts as a titular character, a socially awkward young woman who suffered a difficult childhood because of the children who teased her for her lazy eye. Adult May works at a veterinary clinic and begins to get out of her casing when she meets a beautiful aspirant director named Adam (Ereheremi Sisto), but she becomes unusually attached to him and is strangely in her arms. There is a crunching factor here, but soft, which also wrote the script, masterfully locks the viewer in the perspective of May. It may be a strange duck, but we love it and we want her happiness. At the beginning.

The key to understanding May is her attachment to Susie, the doll her mother Gave gave as a child. May retains Susie in a glass box and gradually becomes obvious that this lifeless figure is a kind of physical perfection for our protagonist. And when May's relationship with Adam goes catastrophically south, her obsession with the specific physical attributes of everyone in her orbit occupies an unusual dark twist.

Soft's "May" is a sensitive horror classic for a young woman whose real -world engagement is irreparably distorted by unrealistic beauty standards. It is a horror to the body, but not in some way you have ever seen, and indeed, not in some way someone gets closer to the attempt ever since. And in an era when hit horror flicker like Zack Creger's "Barbariania" At the moment it is not available to physical media, it is incredibly satisfying to learn that May gets its first Blu-ray edition in region 1 of the label of the Lyonsgate collector series. The streets of the load with accessories on 13.05.2025 and You can set a pre-order now. Maybe now May will finally get its duty from mainstream film films that have shown receptive to horror films such as Longles and Coward.
