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.

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.

3.5/5

Heimann has a lot on his mind with his sophomore feature and neatly condenses it all into a quirky, eccentric psychosexual camp odyssey unlike any other.

“Touch Me” often does lose its way, but it also has a visual flair and a carnal power within an immersive world that doesn’t waver.

An experience that’s equal parts uncomfortable, hilarious, and oddly poignant; a reminder that sometimes the messiest, most unhinged stories can also be the most honest.

Though Touch Me’s concept is intriguing and potentially hard-hitting, the film is distracted from both a visual and storytelling perspective.

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.

This movie was extremely disappointing. The plot felt manipulative and unpleasant, and the overall tone was gross rather than engaging. I ended up turning it off because it became too frustrating and triggering, especially with its relentless emotional games and back‑and‑forth portrayal of love and rejection. I would not recommend this film at all.

Hard to really review the film but clearly easy to review the horrendous description of the film posted on Rotten Tomatoes. who is Brian? He just appears in the storyline with no context. In addition the guy who is trying to get his "girlfriend" back is clearly gay. What a hot mess and you can't even get past the synopsis.
