Joey (Olivia Taylor Dubley) and Craig (Jordan Gavaris) are perfect roommates: Not only are they very fond of one another, also the mere fact that she's straight and he's gay sees to it that things never get too awkward, and they both have so many issues they just serve as the perfect soundboards to one another. Problem is, neither of them is rich and neither is good as holding a job for long, so when their toilet breaks and to fix it would cost a lot of money - and suddenly they find themselves at the end of their line. So when Brian (Lou Taylor Pucci), Joey's ex, invites them to his mansion. they see this as a chance, even if Joey broke up with him back when after their sex turned too viiolent. But at first things are actually great at Brian's, as he offers them some new age style healing that actually does make a different, he has sex with both of them, and it's glorious. There are only two problems with Brian, one's his maid Laura (Marlene Forte), who wants him for herself even if he's not interested, the other is that ... well, he's an alien who wants to take over humankind. and once and again he's also into devouring people (quite literally) ...

Now if above synopsis doesn't make a ton of sense to you, then I can't blame you, as Touch Me ... well, it's basically a weird one, mixing elements that at least on paper aren't supposed to go together, and while the film's clearly aware of its absurdity, it's played totally straight - and that's really what makes this film, it's very aware of its own weirdness but instead of trying to go a more traditional road it digs into it, at often laugh-inducing length. And that the actors even mabage to keep a straight face is absolutely commendable and already proven in the film's first lengthy monologue by Olivia Taylor in which she delivers what is basically utter crap (intentional crap at that, it's brilliant) with utter conviction. In all, not a film for the masses maybe, but a very unique experience to say the least.
