Touch (2002)

Option 1Can't Watch?

Wait 30secs. Movie still not playing? Click the "Can't Watch?" tab.

If the movie didn't load, it means you are being blocked by a security service we use. This can happen for a number of reasons.

Click this first

A new tab will open and a basic security check like a captcha will be performed. After completing the check, close that page and return here.

Refresh this page. Wait 30 secs. The movie should load and you can just hit play.



If it still doesn't play, Click here to watch the movie

The movie should now start playing in a new tab of your browser or begin downloading to your device. This option has the minor disadvantage that English-language movies with optional subtitles in the movie player will not include these subs with this method.

The new system here has been designed keeping in mind even people with low internet speeds sub-8mbps. Even if you have a really bad connection, you should still be able to watch the movie without any issues if you:
Start the movie. Pause it. Wait for 30-45 seconds. Start playing again.

This 'Can't Watch' method really only works if it's your specific device/browser that's interfering with the player. There is no real advantage of speed here. Or if there is a temp network glitch or read lag from the server disk.

If you're still having problems, try using 'Incognito mode' in your browser. On iPhones, especially older ones, use Chrome instead of Safari. Might help.

IMPORTANT: Please make sure that the newly opened tab is not an ad popup asking you to download some software or whatever. Close any such popups and don't download any software - those are ads. Nothing is needed to be done by you other than to complete the security check which is often automated.

Groomed and conditioned, a boy longs for the bruising and loving touch from his previous captor. 3 stars.

interesting watch. almost feels clinically numb, the way richard associates abuse with comfort. its fascinating to ponder how someone’s mind can be devoid of comforts of life everyone accepts without a second thought, instead longing for the feeling of cold, dark sensory deprivation.

This was really well done. It was very emotional and told a harrowing story concisely within 25 minutes. I think the choice to have the whole film narrated by the protagonist while abstaining from using any other voices is powerful to the narrative of the film. He’s stuck in his own world and is only hearing his inner dialogue. I liked it a lot and highly recommend the watch 9/10

If anyone is curious, I’ve found a better quality version of this movie after some digging. If you search it up on the onion router you’re able to find it pretty easily

I was also diddled as a child and then became a violent masochist who cannot cope with the most frivolous misfortunes. Jeremy real asf for this one.

the one movie that’s actually disturbed me. and that’s extremely hard to accomplish. being a victim of csa, this film is incredibly relatable and stomach churning. jeremy podeswa did an amazing job. 5/5

Instantly recognized the star from RV.
Very sad.
Even more sad is the fact that this sort of thing happens probably much more than we realize.

Tragically pulchritudinous, Sir Podeswa’s auteur is efficaciously compelling.

Excellent!

I watched the short film with the sound off. The film maker clearly shows the complex after effects of abuse on a massive scale.

But in it’s nasty and lyrical way isn’t hinting that we are ALL of us, abused and doesn’t it imply that many of the abused come to love the abuse and replicate it one way or another.

If this had half the budget of the new Wrong Turn ‘reboot’, It might have been a serious art film.

Thanks Admin!

That was – very disturbing
Neat to see a Canadian movie, I actually liked the low quality, for a movie like this one.
Didn’t like so much the music, I think disturbing movies like this one don’t need to have any but that’s just minor detail
Really enjoyed it, I will look this up in details later
Thank you so much
