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.

Critics Consensus

An impressively gross and inventive allegory for relationships, Touch Me's tentacles will be hard to shake off for those open-minded enough to accept its allure.

3/5

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.

D-

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.

A messy psychosexual horror experiment with intriguing ideas that are ultimately overwhelmed by relentless weirdness and shock value.

"Touch Me" is one of the most outrageous and interesting films we’ve seen thus far in 2026. Even though it occasionally fumbles, it finds a way to reel you in with humor and horror that is sick, sexy, and spacey!
