Love Object (2003)


A lonely workaholic buys a $10,000 silicone sex doll, who he models after his work crush. As he imbues it with her qualities, lines start to blur. At a certain point, can reality ever live up to the fantasy? In many ways, this movie feels like the antithesis of American Psycho, although you can see the parallels. This horror flick is very darkly funny, even as it treats its subject deadly serious.
