Love Object
Synopsis A psychological horror story about a nerdy but seemingly ‘normal’ technical writer, Kenneth (DESMOND HARRINGTON), who has a secret fanatical crush on a female coworker named Lisa (MELISSA SAGEMILLER). After coming across a company which makes lifelike sex dolls, he takes a crack at satiating his desires by ordering a doll designed to look just like her. The plan works beyond expectations. As he develops a relationship with the doll-he dresses it up, cooks it dinner, partakes in rough sadomasochistic sex-his relationship with the real Lisa also begins to develop. The problem, however: as things with the real Lisa start to blossom, things with the doll begin to deteriorate. It’s as though the doll has become jealous. Or perhaps it’s all in Kenneth’s head? The line between reality and fantasy becomes increasingly blurred as Kenneth sinks deeper and deeper into psychosis, where his ultimate, twisted fantasy is not to have the doll become Lisa-like, but rather to have Lisa become doll-like.
Production Notes:
Love Object had its world premiere at the 2003 Tribeca Film Festival.
