Get ready to get weird. The Sundance hit Touch Me will officially be released on Digital and Blu-ray this May. This psychosexual horror-comedy comes from the mind of writer-director Addison Heimann and promises a gooey, neon-soaked exploration of codependency and interspecies intimacy.
A Very Specific Addiction
The plot follows two best friends who fall under the spell of a mysterious alien narcissus creature. Touch provides a heroin-like high that makes all their anxiety vanish. However, there is a catch: he’s also a manipulative predator trying to take over the world. Trapped in a cycle of toxic healing, the duo must decide if feeling good is worth the end of humanity.
The Star-Studded Cast
The film features an impressive lineup of genre veterans who aren’t afraid of the strange: Olivia Taylor Dudley (The Magicians, She Dies Tomorrow), Lou Taylor Pucci (Evil Dead, Daredevil: Born Again), and Jordan Gavaris (Orphan Black, Hacks).
Festival Pedigree
Touch Me has been terrorizing audiences across the globe since its world premiere at Sundance 2025. Its impressive festival run includes SXSW, Fantasia, and Sitges. Produced by the team behind Hypochondriac and Something In The Dirt, the film blends high-concept sci-fi with raw, human trauma.
