Just by reading the description of this movie I found it peculiar and quite original for a movie in the Psycho/Thriller/Slasher genres, and not just because of the sex doll. The thing that stands out the most to me about this movie is the fact that it shows a process of a normal-seeming person into a bizarre killer.As the movie starts off we see a quiet, average seeming office worker named Kenneth, who seems rather bored and lonely with his life. He quickly changes from normal and lonely, to happy and well mannered. Which takes a turn for the worse when his "relationship" with Nikki goes sour, due this his belief that the doll is talking to him. Overall I think the state of mind was portrayed quite well. Kenneth does a great job in the strange transitions (and believe me there are several) in his personality.I would highly recommend giving this movie a try. It gives a very interesting possible aspect to a killer-in-the-making. Which is difficult to find in this type of movie.

''Love Object '' starts looking an average movie, showing the weird and lonely Kenneth Winslow, a technical writer, who starts having a bizarre obsession by Nikki, a rubber sex doll that he ordered, while developing a crush in his assistant Lisa. Kenneth goes to the point of talking, arguing and even feeling "stalked" by Nikki, and that's when the bizarre things starts to happen in his behavior.The cool thing about this movie ,is the end,that is totally unexpected and the total opposite that you could believe that would happen. That's why I give this movie the nice vote of 7, because the plot itself, is very simple and nothing special. The good message present, is that many people who look 'normal' or calm, like Kenneth, can have bad intentions behind their acts and even act like maniacs,while others can make us have false judgments about them, but are good people, like Kenneth's landlord, who tries to help Lisa from Kenneth's sick ideas of transforming her into Nikki.

In the tradition of Roman Polanski's Repulsion comes this odd little gem. Desmond Harrington buys a sex doll, gives her a little too much thought, and then becomes her sex slave. His only hope is the woman he loves, Melissa Sagemiller, who would make a far nicer sex doll in his opinion. What starts out as an eccentric romance slowly dissolves into a movie about the creation of a serial killer. The movie does such a good job of making Desmond Harrington and Melissa Sagemiller likable, that the scene where they fight is sad, because it is obvious that one must die. Your liking of this movie will depend on your willingness to accept the "abnormal" behavior and pay attention to the people. This is not for everyone, but the ones who do like it will defend it to the embalming table.

LOVE OBJECT is a very cool, original film. Basic premise: Kenneth works at a company that writes owners manuals for products. He's the best in the biz but he has a big project coming up and his boss (played by the legendary Rip Torn) gets him an assistant. Kenneth doesn't want an assistant but the boss-man insists, and it turns out the assistant is kinda hot, so after a while, Kenneth doesn't mind quite so much. In fact, Kenneth starts to date the assistant, but Kenneth isn't all-together in the head. He buys a "real-life" sex doll to act out his fantasies on, and eventually the doll starts taking over his life, including talking to and stalking him. It just gets weirder from there, building to LOVE OBJECT's pretty cool climax. This is a strange little film that hasn't really gotten enough credit. It's well acted, kinda creepy, and very original. There's no real gore to speak of, so those looking for ultra-violence can pass this one up. But for something different, give this one a shot. This film kinda reminds me of the film MAY, in the fact that they're both small, strange films that most people either really like or really don't, with not much middle-ground. Personally, I like both and recommend taking a look at LOVE OBJECT 8/10
