Film
Two down-on-their-luck housemates become addicted to the touch of an alien whose tentacles relieve anxiety. Addison Heimann, whose film HYPOCONDRIAC was at the NIFFF in 2022, is back this year with an erotic horror feature that finds an original way to tackle complex themes related to mental health and addiction. With authentic handmade special effects and surreal colorful sets, it brings to mind influences such as hentai and Japanese pinku films.
