disturbed character study

Warning: Spoilers
May Dove Canady (Angela Bettis) was friendless as a child. Her lazy eye forced her to wear an eye patch. Her mother gave her Suzie the doll telling her that she could make her own friends. As an adult, she gets her eye fixed and tries awkwardly to be more social with Adam Stubbs (Jeremy Sisto). She's fascinated with his hands. Her Lesbian coworker Polly (Anna Faris) is attracted to her. She feels let down by both of them. The kids at her school destroy her doll Suzie. She decides to make her own friend sewing together various parts.

It's a fascinating character in a horror indie. This is better than most of the low budget horror that gets made. It all boils down to the character and the performance from Bettis. The rest of the cast are also terrific. It's not a scary horror but it is a disturbed character study.
