Alice C Acting was okay, story was a little slow overall but the ending made up for it to some degree. If you want to find out for yourself stop reading and watch the movie. I've seen far worse in the horror genre.Otherwise this was a story about a lonely asocial guy becomes obsessed with his sex doll and can't play well with others so he goes on a crazy delusional rampage to turn his live GF into a sex doll and things go haywire in his favor. Funny how life can turn out.

Caren This film had so much potential - a good premise, great actors, a decent budget, but it fails because of the script.The film is not sure what it wants to be - horror? comedy? drama? romance? It tries to do it all and doesn't do any of them well. It fails completely in that regard.The film could've shown how society is becoming more and more isolated, people working jobs in cubicles to go home to their tiny box apartments with their potted plants and their pets, but the film skims through that issue rather than drive it home. Lisa made a comment that she could disappear and no one would know, but it was an off-hand comment that was not explored further. The film could've spent more time exploring this existential crisis rather than have a man arguing with a doll. Show Lisa as a loner too, a sad cat lady. Show Kenneth as someone who becomes more and more lonely as his gamer friends move away in pursuit of jobs/money, leaving his only contact with them is through online gaming. Show how both Kenneth and Lisa get birthday or Christmas calls on their answering machines from their parents. Show them eating lunch alone in their cubicles.Make it sad. Make it depressing, psychological, so that when Kenneth starts arguing with the doll, he has been pushed to the limit and has lost touch with reality rather than he's playing a role-playing game.Make it more psychological. The turning point in the film was when Lisa discovers a photo of the doll wearing her clothes. It's too cheap. Make it something more subtle, such as Kenneth becoming more aggravated as Lisa is a real human being with flaws. She menstruates, she snores, she has to shave her legs, she's not always in the mood for sex, etc. Make her moody, depressive, suicidal even. Make it human vs doll, reality vs fantasy. That's where the turning point should be. Make Kenneth become irritated and irritable to the point where she leaves him.This movie goes for cheap shortcuts rather than build-up and payoff - Lisa learns about the doll, the building super walks into the room and gets killed, etc.Instead of being deep, disturbing, philosophical, existential, psychological and depressing, it ends up being cheesy - cubicle worker buys doll, dates cubicle girl, she learns about doll, things goes bad, he kills cubicle girl (indirectly, but still).I can't recommend it to anyone, but it has the potential for a remake if done right.

innocuous All the elements of "Love Object" can be found in other films, but the writer/director does a good job of building them into a surprising...and surprisingly creepy...film that's entirely his own. Throw in a few fake-outs, including a feint or two near the conclusion, and you end up with a very watchable and entertaining film. I really enjoy thrillers of this type and consider myself pretty blasé about most plot developments, but I have to confess that I said, "Oh, no...he's not going to do that, is he?" out loud several times while watching this.The direction is competent, even if fairly uninspired. It gets the job done. The acting is highly variable, though, and I have to blame the director a bit for this. It's clear that the leads can carry it off, if directed properly, but some scenes give the appearance of first takes. It's almost as if the actors are doing a run-through or a blocking take. Desmond Harrington is the most uniform, but even he stumbles a couple times. Rip Torn is surprisingly self-controlled and really adds to the film.I've always said that the essence of "creepy and unnerving" is NOT to show us people doing things that are unimaginable. It's to show us people doing things that leave us thinking, "I wonder if, under the right circumstances, I might do something similar." That's the essence of "Love Object." Recommended for fans of creepy psychological horror.

Jeroen Besseling What is so scary about puppets? There have been a few movies that handled the human fear for the puppet (such as pin and child's play) but this movie is the absolute king of its genre, if you can call this a genre that is.The movie is about Kenneth, a frustrated and socially isolated young man who embarks on a strange sexual relationship with a love doll. The thing that I really liked about this movie is the music. It's very subtle and tells a lot about what is going to happen or gives you an unpleasant feeling. This is not a scary movie, although you will get goosebumps from time to time. I think in a certain way it's a very real movie about how people can drive themself mad. You see it all coming (at least I did) and I kept telling myself "OH GOD! HE'S NOT REALLY DOING THIS" but he was. It's a honest and shocking movie with a terrific ending.I am not going to spoil anything but you should watch this and then you must agree with me that the ending of this movie is the best part!. But still all of it is good, 10/10
