Hulu is set to deliver a bone-chilling experience this March with “Control Freak,” a psychological thriller that promises to redefine horror storytelling. Directed by Shal Ngo and starring Kelly Marie Tran, the film transforms a simple premise into a deeply disturbing exploration of mental and physical invasion.
The story centers on Valerie, a motivational speaker whose life takes a terrifying turn when an inexplicable itch becomes a gateway to unimaginable horror. What starts as a minor annoyance quickly evolves into a nightmarish battle against a mysterious infection that threatens to consume her very identity.
Kelly Marie Tran leads the cast with a performance that looks to challenge viewers’ perceptions, supported by Miles Robbins as her husband Robbie. The film expands on Ngo’s original short from Hulu’s “Bite Size Halloween” series, promising a deeper dive into psychological terror.
Produced by WorthenBrooks and Hulu Originals, “Control Freak” explores profound themes of personal autonomy and the fragility of self. The film blends body horror with psychological suspense, creating a unique narrative that will leave audiences questioning the boundaries of control.
Premiering on Hulu on March 13, 2025, with a later release on Disney+ internationally, “Control Freak” is poised to become a standout entry in the horror genre. For those seeking a truly unsettling cinematic experience, this is one film that promises to get under your skin – quite literally.
