* ValuesDissonance: The character of Polly hasn't aged well. A LipstickLesbian who makes advances on May and openly flirts with her, and then gets portrayed as flighty and promiscuous.

[[spoiler: Then BuryYourGays comes into play, and her lesbian lover is shown as a straight-up AssholeVictim]]. And if May's AmbiguouslyBi moments show her true orientation, that means she qualifies as [[spoiler: a DepravedBisexual]].

* TheWoobie: ''May''. Yes she's a very, ''very'' odd girl, but it's clear her weirdness is caused by whatever condition she has and her troubled upbringing, but it's shown that all she really want is to have friends. The TraumaCongaLine didn't make things better for her, finally driving her into [[spoiler: killing six people and a cat, all into ''literally'' making a friend ala Frankenstein]].

if she's read as bi, she's not a lesbian, and obvi not the entire acronym at once

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: May has several intimate moments with Polly that she seems to enjoy. Is she bisexual or is she just that desperate for human interaction that she goes along with it? Does she [[spoiler: kill Ambrosia too]] because of jealousy or simply because of how mean she was?
* CultClassic: It got a limited release and didn't even make its low budget back, but it's become a cult favorite over the years. It was even voted #17 on ''Bloody Disgusting'''s "Top 20 Horror Films of the Decade".
* FairForItsDay: Despite the questionable characterization of Polly (see below), she is the only character who is 100% decent to May - and is InnocentlyInsensitive at worst.
* HilariousInHindsight:
** Angela Bettis playing a shy, socially awkward girl with no friends who [[spoiler: ends up murdering a bunch of people]]? This was made before she was cast in ''{{Film/Carrie 2002}}'', but the latter came out first.
** Someone with mental illness just wants to make friends and [[spoiler: becomes a murderer]] after society treating them too bad? Are we talking about ''May'' or ''{{Film/Joker 2019}}''?
* ItWasHisSled: As the movie is lumped in the horror genre (GenreBusting on the main page shows it's much vaguer in tone than that), it's known that May is going to go off the deep end somehow.
