The film sends a false message about freaky sex. Full Review |
||
 |
As Kenneth dips into 'Norman Bates meets The Marquis de Sade' waters, horror fans will stand transfixed and will definitely not be disappointed by the shocking finale. Full Review |
||
|
|
The sort of clumsy undertaking that trips up everyone and everything in it. Full Review |
||
|
2/5 |
The comedy falls flat and the only real horror is having to sit through the whole damn thing. Full Review |
||
|
1/5 |
Feels so depressingly vacant that it registers less as a film than as a pointed lesson in what not to do in the wacky world of non-traditional dating. Full Review |
||
|
|
The biggest potential pitfall is that Kenneth starts the film as such a weirdo that some audience members may have problems relating to him Full Review |
||
|
3/5 |
Droll and modestly creepy horror film. Full Review |
||
|
|
What's missing is any sense of why such a handsome man is afraid of women. That makes the premise hard to swallow, especially since Harrington is too commanding to be a believable dweeb. Full Review |
||
|
2/4 |
The movie reaches with increasing desperation toward humor and grisly sadism, and the mood is broken. Full Review |
||
|
2.5/4 |
While some pedestrian camerawork and spotty acting from supporting players deflate Love Object, it has enough juice -- and a surprising twist -- to keep fans of the slow-burn horror genre enthralled. Full Review |
||
|
0/4 |
What might have been a commentary on the objectification of women becomes an unrestrained forum for twisted ideas of sexuality. Full Review |
||
|
C |
Though you might admire bits and pieces of it, overall this movie is unlikely to be the object of anyone's affection. Full Review |
||
|
3.5/5 |
You know you're having a bad day when you can't make a relationship work with your rubber doll - even with instructions...a nice little addition to the sick and twisted genre. Full Review |
||
|
D |
All the student-film hallmarks are here: deep-think pretentiousness, annoyingly arty camera-work, cardboard-cutout characters and robotic dialogue. Full Review |
||
|
|
Never quite lives up to its bizarre premise, and despite its audacious subject matter, it will even have difficulty attaining future cult status. Full Review |
||
|
3/5 |
Has quite a bit to say about male fantasies. Full Review |
||
|
|
It may have some glaring flaws, but it is certainly one of the more interesting romances to hit the big screen in recent years. Full Review |
