Crush 2013 another form(rip off) of May


I've seen half of this movie and I saw many similarities with the movie May http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0303361/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1

For exemple:
- a cool guy, pretty well developed mentally and also good looking.
- this guy also have a pretty good situation - socially speaking
- then there's the 'antagonist' - an extremely introvert girl, extremely sensitive, emotionally unstable, by implication has a serious lack of social skills(cannot relate easily to other people)
- she is cute in a way
- this girl get a crush on the guy
- at first things may seem to work at a certain level(but that's only because of curiosity, mystery, and not a real knowledge)
- then, the real and important differences start to appear and they act as a catalyst to separate the two more and more(mainly because of unstable and extremist behavior of the girl).
- I didn't saw the second half of Crush, but I assume its like in May, where the girl, extremely frustrated by her lack of success in keeping the guy, and her inability to cope at the emotional level with loses, she has a dramatic change of direction and start to hurt (in a horrific way) those close to her, including the guy - the so called revenge on those who hurt her by ignoring her needs.

I'm not saying that all aspects of those two movies are exactly the same, but at least on some main ones, they seem alike.

PS. In second half of Crush they added a difference: they split in half (the main character of May) and have two girls - one pretty and introvert girl and one traumatized and psychopath girl.

I watched it on Friday and it does share similarities to May (one of my favorite films) but I wouldn't call it a rip-off. I'd say it's more comparable to something like Swimfan.
