Rejoice, weirdos! Lucky McKee’s cult horror hit May is finally heading to Blu-ray in the UK thanks to a limited edition release from genre distributors Second Sight.
Released in 2002, May stars Angela Bettis, Anna Faris, Jeremy Sisto, and James Duval, and follows the titular character; “a socially awkward veterinary assistant with a lazy eye and an obsession with perfection, descends into depravity after developing a crush on a boy with perfect hands.”
Second Sight’s release will feature hours of new features including interviews with McKee, Duval, Rian Johnson and many more. There’s also on-set features, new commentary and video essays, plus a 70 page book and art cards. Here’s the full exciting breakdown in detail:

The stunning slipcase by artist Bella Grace (seen below) features Miss May ominously brandishing a pair of scissors (and, if you’ve seen May, you’ll know just where those scissors are going.)
The Limited Edition Blu-ray will be released released July 24 and can be pre-ordered here. Unfortunately for US fans, the release is Region B only, so you’ll have to wait to bring May home (or grab yourself one of those fancy region-free disc players.)
