Hulu, I clearly wasnt familiar with your game because Control Freak has me absolutely shook.
And beneath it all lurks a chilling psychological warfare that will have you squirming in your seat.
This dark thriller is one of the most intense movies Ive seen in ages, and for good reason.
Heres why its worth your time right now.
What is Control Freak about?
What starts as a minor habit soon spirals into compulsive scratching, breaking skin and alarming Robbie.
She begins to suspect that something far more sinister than stress is taking hold of her.
So much so that youll probably find yourself watching through your fingers in pure disgust.
That might turn some people off, but honestly, thats what makes this dark thriller work so well.
It instantly puts the movie into perspective: the disconnect between outward appearances and internal struggles.
One that breaks skin, draws blood and earns her plenty of side glances.
As if the itch wasnt enough, Control Freak throws in another unsettling element: ants.
And lots of them.
Its subtle, but it gets under your skin (literally and figuratively).
What really makes Control Freak work as a horror-thriller is Kelly Marie Tran, who gives an all-in performance.
But thats the whole point.
Shes ignoring it, hoping itll go away on its own.
And because of that, the itch worsens and her relationship with Robbie begins to crack.
Of course, Control Freak isnt a perfect thriller.
But the journey to get there is completely worth it.
And that’s thanks to the incredible Shal Ngo.
Control Freak is the kind of horror-thriller that stays with you.
Not just because of its grotesque moments, but because of what it represents.
Trauma, control, and the things we venture to ignore until they consume us.
