May is a 2002 American psychological horror film written and directed by Lucky McKee in his directorial debut, and starring Angela Bettis, Jeremy Sisto, Anna Faris, and James Duval. The film follows a lonely young woman (Bettis) traumatized by a difficult childhood, and her increasingly desperate attempts to connect with the people around her.

May was unsuccessful at the box office, but received favorable reviews from critics, and is now considered a cult classic.
