Remember when your mother used to slap your hand away every time you tried to roughly itch a scab or bite? Well, if you’re looking to break that bad habit, Hulu’s latest horror will make you think twice before your nails start clawing at your skin. Control Freak turns this mundane act into nightmarish body horror in a slow and careful descent, making that dull scratching noise increasingly grating. Director Shal Ngo‘s film uses this invasive quality of an itch to delve into how trauma can take over someone’s life, all while weaving in elements of psychological, supernatural, folk, and body horror. Like Valerie’s (Kelly Marie Tran) itch, the raw and visceral movie consumes our entire mind, already turning into a must-watch as a new entry to Hulu’s horror catalog.
