Another indie original for you. In the header of the email, it said Touch Me was ‘psychosexual horror-comedy’. That’s an expression we don’t get very often.
OK, so that’s, umm, something. Touch Me stars Olivia Taylor Dudley, Lou Taylor Pucci, Jordan Gavaris, Marlene Forte, Paget Brewster, Ashley Lauren Need, and JJ Philips. Addison Heimann is the writer/director. The story is:
Two codependent best friends become addicted to the heroin-like touch of an alien narcissist who may or may not be trying to take over the world.
Details from the press release. Touch Me is a psychosexual horror-comedy written and directed by Addison Heimann.
Touch Me was produced by John Humber (Hypochondriac, Moon Manor) and David Lawson Jr. (Something In The Dirt, Things Will Be Different).
The world premiere took place at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival. Abertoir Horror Festival hosted the UK premiere in November. It has also played at numerous genre festivals around the world – including SXSW, Night Visions, Fantasia, Sitges, Melbourne and Soho Horror Festival.
The limited edition Blu-ray includes Heimann’s debut feature, Hypochondriac (2022) and an exclusive 16-page booklet “Queerness Made Flesh” written by horror critic and enthusiast Kat Hughes.
Touch Me will have a digital release on the 4th of May.
