Somewhat predictable, but the cinematography is great and it does have some fine chilling moments.

How do I attach photos to my posts? Image Shack or something like that?

MAY is not a great horror movie, it's an excellent character study. Bettis' performance is absolutely perfect. Which is why I've watched it a hundred times. She's a magnificent actress that doesn't get the credit (or roles) she deserves, because she doesn't fit into the standard Hollywood "look" mode.

I remember the first time I saw this, and Bettis was first introduced I thought "If I have to watch this person for an hour and a half, I'm turning this off. Then you see her behind the tree and realize, OK she's hot."

She's also a real sweetheart in person. She signed my May Poster "Fuck You George Snow"

If you enjoyed May for the character study, check out TEETH. The co-star performances are pretty weak, but Jess Weixler is great and the story is excellent.
