Love Object

(2003) ****

Hey, its Quinn from Dexter!
I was excited to see this movie had great actors like Desmond Harrington, Udo Kier, and Rip Torn.
Its a twisted tale of Kenneth(Quinn), socially insecure technical writer who forms an obsessive relationship with "Nikki", an anatomically accurate silicone sex doll he orders over the Internet. Because of his experience with his new toy, Kenneth's life takes a turn for the better when his new found romantic skills attract the attention of Lisa, a co-worker at his office. When the doll's jealous personality invades his consciousness, Kenneth becomes trapped in a perverse triangle, torn between the dominating, silicone Nikki and the flesh-and-blood Lisa.
Is love worth $10,000?
Besides the creepiness of the Realdoll, there is enough real and fake body chopping up to call it a horror movie. Kenneth has a nice S&M side of him ;)The ending of the movie has a great twist, though. Not something expected :)

Nice! Sounds like a real winner, I love when people get unnatuarally attached to dolls. Well, in films anyway.

i love the notion that there's a certain level of real and fake body chopping that's below what would allow you to call it a horror film.
