Touches You

Surprisingly incoherent and boring

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Awkwardly Original it is indeed. Robert Porigi used and idea that I haven't seen in a horror before but used it in a basic plot so well. The thing that makes the movie even more better is that the lead male and female were attractive people having normal jobs so there more comparable to the everyday person..Love Object follows Kenneth go from normal shy attractive guy to struggling to tell whats reality and not leading to fatal consequences. Kenneth is a very handsome young man who has a good job as a technical writer, but behind his exterior he is a loner wanting a girlfriend.One day at work his colleague's are passing around a postcard offering a custom made sex doll to your choice for 10k dollars. Ken buys one and calls it Nicki, it looks like fellow colleague Lisa whom he is infatuated by. Soon enough he has Nicki dressing like her and even listening to the same music starting to become a little obsessed.Its when Kenneth wants to start dating Lisa the movie gets dark, so as he is dating a human he has no need for Nicki anymore. Kenneth starts to believe Nicki is not only just following him but telling him to do stuff which leads to fatal consequences...As a horror its a little out there not a cliché plot but it has dark humour and suspense keeps a dull looking movie alive

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.

When I first saw this movie, I couldn't help but think that this was THE greatest movie I have ever seen. Love Object deserves to have a sequel. Although the movie has a couple of disturbing scenes, that didn't distract me from how this good movie was. Love Object is the perfect movie to watch. I also want to say that once you see this movie for the first time, you can't help but watch it over and over again. I am practically moved by how every actor played their parts in a sense of how well the acted. Once this movie is in your thoughts, you can't help but express how you feel about watching it again. Sometimes you would want to get up out your chair and rush to the video store and buy the movie Love Object.

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
