Robert K. Elder, Chicago Tribune: 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. Read more
Los Angeles Times: Droll and modestly creepy horror film. Read more

Chuck Wilson, L.A. Weekly: 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. Read more

Joshua Land, Village Voice: Utilizes horror movie jolts to plumb male control-freakishness. Read more
Mark Jenkins, Washington Post: The sort of clumsy undertaking that trips up everyone and everything in it. Read more
