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.
Chuck Wilson, L.A. Weekly

The movie reaches with increasing desperation toward humor and grisly sadism, and the mood is broken.

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.

What might have been a commentary on the objectification of women becomes an unrestrained forum for twisted ideas of sexuality.
Carla Meyer, San Francisco Chronicle
