After a series of unfortunate events leaves their house uninhabitable and reeking of poo, two co-dependent friends, Joey and Craig, find themselves homeless and out of options. That's when Joey's mysterious ex resurfaces. He wants her back. Along with being hot, Brian also happens to be an alien whose touch makes anxiety and depression disappear. The two venture to his compound for the weekend with the hope of being healed from past traumas, but underneath Brian’s veneer of healing is a sinister plot filled with murder, mayhem, and blood. TOUCH ME is a psychosexual horror-comedy about the nature of co-dependent friendships and how far we are willing to go for a slice of happiness.

The cherry on top of this admittedly weird cocktail is a strong streak of genuine sensuality -- if it’s your first encounter with tentacle sex on screen, you might be surprised how appealing Heimann and his cast have managed to make it seem.

If you’re like me and stick with it and go on to embrace its unbridled spirit you’re in for a good hypnotic time.

With one overlong, obnoxious scene after another, the only thing "Touch Me" gets right is that you, too, will want to talk to your therapist about it, as you ponder how a film this disastrous can also keep insisting on itself this much.

4/5

The vibrancy of the acting is seen in Touch Me‘s overall look, a heady mix of surreal editing, neon colours, and a pulsing soundtrack that plunges the audience into the film’s world, getting them hooked on what Heimann is selling.

The film can’t get over how much it hates itself to give us a reason to love it.

Because of the fantastical set-up, there is a welcome dose of humour and levity, something that would be missing from a straight-up drama covering the same themes.

I loved this weird, horny movie! And underneath all that, a lot to relate to in terms of living with anxiety and what it feels like to want to escape your own brain. Totally recommend!

Touch Me is a about a toxic, addictive bond between a couple and a mysterious alien. The film starts with a bold premise, blending psychological trauma with surreal symbolism. It offers intriguing ideas about addiction and emotional escape. However, a scattered narrative, repetitive structure, and weak character depth hold it back. The mix of horror and dark comedy feels uneven and unfocused. Overall, it’s an ambitious but messy film that struggles to deliver on its potential......

Tava achando que seria um filme bem +-, mas eu gostei demais. Me fez lembrar um pouco, as obras do Panos Cosmatos e esse ator Lou Taylor Pucci que fez o Brain parece o Jared Leto, na seita dele.

Alien relations appear to lead to a trippy lustful gore filled experience. If you like films like “Brain Damage”, “Glorious” and “The Seed” give this one a try!!!

Having watched Addison Heimann’s "Touch Me," I was left with one question: what the actual fuck? And I mean that in the best way humanly possible. Between the detailed visuals of alien tentacle sex and the frequent dance breaks, this entire thing felt like a fever dream or the wildest acid trip in the desert. While the film has B-movie vibes, it’s filled with incredibly strong acting, especially from lead actor Olivia Taylor Dudley, who plays Joey. "Touch Me" is not a casual Sunday watch with the family. It’s one of those movies you check out when you’re alone and maybe a little high. Joey’s desperation to quiet her mind is deeply relatable, which was necessary to feel going on this wild ride. If Dudley wasn’t there to secure the audience with her genuinely stellar performance, the film would’ve been a lost cause. While it doesn’t have the most brilliant writing, there are pockets of thoughtfulness that sit with you for a while.
