Tried hard but just couldn't finish it

I don't think he's shallow, just not blind. I too found it incredibly difficult to watch that little freak, and her weird, irritating over-enunciation was doubly irritating.

It wasn't that I didn't like her being dressed down, that's fine I just thought they over did it to an unrealistic extent and thus became a caricature that took me out of the movie. Honestly I've never even seen this actress in anything so I don't even have anything to compare it too, I just though they were laying it on a little too thick.

You don't need to finish the movie it doesn't get better.
I agree with the bad caveman eyebrows, she was a caricature and totally not believable. Looked like the "before" in the teen movie where she ends up becoming the prom queen or something.
As for comparisons to May, this lacked the charm and sweetness of that movie. It was like a mix of music video ideas and a short film that was dragged out into a full length I expected more from this one. -

THANK YOU!! Exactly. All these people freaking out on me saying I'm shallow etc.. jeez take it easy, it's just not that good of a movie. Wanted it to be but oh well. A good example of a movie that starts off and you kind of hate it but actually does get way better and turns out to be awesome is Detention. That was great film but it does start off kind of off-putting, it just takes a little while for you to catch the rhythm of it.

There aren't many films where I haven't bothered finishing them once started but this was one. It was obviously desperately trying to shock, but just ending up being dull. & I tired of her "I'm SO weird" facial expressions

" not being able to look past an actress being "dressed down" from her normal attractive appearance is a pitiful excuse for not following through on a movie this good.
if you had said that some of her more elaborate dreams/fantasy sequences made you uncomfortable that might make sense, not everyone has the stomach for those kinds of scenes.
as for the comparison to May, I'd say they are similar in tone more than actual content."
So perfectly said on all three points!!! -

I think Annalyne did an amazing job with her character, and if you watch through til the end, you'll appreciate her as an actress all the more. Her and Traci Lords. It's a gritty film at times, but it has it's reasons.

Exactly! I think the movie did what it set out to do and did it very well. It's a far fetched, ridiculous caricature of a story that needs to be looked at in that light.
I don't love her.. She kicked me in the face!! -

Haha. At the time of watching "May" for the first time years ago, I thought it was great. After watching "Excision" tonight, I can honestly say "May" wasn't very good by comparison. Excision was a masterpiece.

Like others, I'd suggest you finish the movie, but not every movie is for everyone. I'm guessing you are not familiar "The actress" Annalynne McCord but give her a look in the film "Bad Girl Island" and you'll see how absolutely hot and sexy she can beand then you'll have a new appreciation of her in Excision.

JL you may be right. I watched the whole thing and just couldn't get into it. Perhaps it wasn't subtle enough for my tastes, although blood and gore don't bother me, I don't think there was the "correct" mixture in this movie. To me it seemed to try to cram too many things into one movie. I guess I felt misled by the blurb about the movie.
But then again, that could just be my mood. I usually know what I want to watch, and have been searching for good new horror lately, but what I want is suspense and mystery, I think, so this didn't do it for me.
I saw May and remember liking it, but that was a long time ago. Just have to find the right movie for the right mood.
