‘Touch Me’ Review: A Wacky Horror Film That Never Fully Realizes Its Satirical Ambition

variety.com:

Murtada Elfadl “Touch Me” starts intriguingly with a long scene set in a therapist’s office. Joey (Olivia Taylor Dudley), who suffers from OCD and childhood trauma, recounts how she met a sexy alien from another planet and describes the hot affair she had with him.

According to her story, not only was the sex good, but his touch immediately cured all her anxieties. “Touch Me” goes on to show how this otherworldly character blows up Joey’s world.

Regrettably, what writer-director Addison Heiman visually reveals of this creature and his world never matches up with what Taylor Dudley’s haunting delivery suggests of her character’s experience.

Joey is a drifter working odd jobs and hardly making ends meet. She hasn’t been able to garner opportunities for her creative endeavors.
