Director and screenwriter Addison Heimann\u2019s second film is a provocative and camp horror comedy, imaginative and crazy in the best way possible. This is a love song to the weird and sexual Japanese cinema of the 60\u2019s and 70\u2019s- the ground on which films such as \u201cIn the Realm of the Senses\u201d grew upon.<\/p>\n

\u201cTouch me\u201d dares to touch such subjects as mental health, desire and sexual abandonment but does not lose its humor for a second. Two best friends are depending on each other and get addicted to the heroin-like touch of a narcissistic alien with a craving for human flesh who may or may not want to take over the world.<\/p>\n

Director and screenwriter Addison Heimann, whose first film \u201cHypochondriac\u201d was screened at the 2022 TLVFest, comes back with a weirder, crazier and more brilliant second film. The result is a sexy and wonderfully bloody dream.<\/p>\n
