The premise

The twisted tale of Kenneth, socially insecure technical writer who forms an obsessive relationship with "Nikki", an anatomically accurate silicone sex doll he orders over the Internet.

Horror Vault's take

Kenneth is a withdrawn technical writer whose isolation drives him to order a lifelike silicone doll he names Nikki — and gradually, disturbingly, begins to treat as a real partner. When a genuine human connection enters his life, the line between fantasy and reality starts to collapse in deeply troubling ways. Love Object is a slow-burning character study that weaponizes mundane suburban loneliness into something genuinely sinister. It's a film that gets under the skin not through spectacle, but through the quiet horror of a mind unraveling.
