This movie was absolutely a must see! It starts out relatively innocent, and then pulls you in for the craziness! I had no idea what I was getting... to, and before I knew it, I couldn't stop watching!! Full Review

Critic Reviews

The modestly assembled Love Object... is only periodically derailed by its tone; Mr. Parigi sometimes overplays the humor in the midst of all the deadpan.Full Review

A.O. Scott
The New York Times

Love Object's plot is reminiscent of Guy Colwell's underground comic-book series "Doll," only Colwell dealt more with sex toys as emblematic of the systematic objectification of women, while Parigi just uses the concept for a bunch of weird shocks, dark laughs, and a fairly repellent twist ending.Full Review

Noel Murray
The Onion (A.V. Club)

While the premise has possibilities for some creepy, pulpy fun, writer-director Robert Parigi brings too little style or humor, instead going a more obvious, overwrought route.Full Review

David Rooney
Variety

Parigi -- who's clearly made a close study of Alfred Hitchcock's obsessions and has watched a fair share of intelligent horror perched between cheekiness and Grand Guignol (think "Re-Animator") -- succeeds nicely.Full Review

Los Angeles Times

The movie turns cruel and ugly, and hasn't paid the dues to earn its last scenes. Parigi had me there for a while, but when he lost me, it was big time.Full Review
