About7devonapes Expertise I will attempt to answer any questions in regard to weird, offbeat, twisted horror/cult/drama films. I also have a fairly broad knowledge of drama and comedy, particularly British films.
Experience I am a avid horror movie fan who grew watching Evil Dead, Re-Animator, Dawn Of The Dead, Return Of The Living Dead, Demons, Xtro, Night Of The Demons...etc. I have various Charles S. Balun books and other assorted horror guides for reference if needed. As well as horror/cult films, I watch a lot of drama - particularly British films.
Question I watched a film maybe 10 years ago that I think was made in the 90's called something along the lines of Mays Doll. There is a girl who has a doll when she is younger and, and when she grows up she wants a doll, and starts dataing a guy and she cuts off his hands and takes someone elses arms and gradually sews together a human doll. Do you know the title of this movie??
Answer Hi Melanie,
Hmm... sounds like this is a movie called "May", though it was released in 2002. "May" is a genuine 'cult classic' - great film! Here is a plot summary:
W"hen 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."
