If you’ve ever found yourself thinking that your dating life could only be improved by a literal extra-terrestrial throuple, Addison Heimann has the movie for you. Lightbulb Film Distribution has announced that the psychedelic horror-comedy Touch Me is officially coming to Digital and Blu-ray.
Heroin, Hentai, and Heartbreak
The film follows two “cringe millennials” and codependent best friends, Joey (Olivia Taylor Dudley) and Craig (Jordan Gavaris). After a disastrous plumbing explosion leaves their home uninhabitable, they find themselves homeless and out of options—until Joey’s mysterious, “super hot” ex-boyfriend Brian (Lou Taylor Pucci) resurfaces.
The catch? Brian is a narcissistic alien whose touch provides a narcotic, heroin-like high that instantly cures anxiety and depression. As the two friends move into his desert mansion, they fall into a hazy cycle of “interspecies intercourse” and addictive bliss, unaware that Brian’s veneer of healing hides a sinister, world-ending plot.
Behind the Goo and Tentacles
I recently had the pleasure of interviewing the film’s star, Olivia Taylor Dudley (The Magicians). She shared some wild behind-the-scenes stories from the set, discussed her performance, and talked about how much fun filming was.
The Blu-ray
For the physical media collectors, the limited-edition Blu-ray is a must-have. It includes:
-Double Feature: Heimann’s acclaimed debut feature, Hypochondriac (2022).
