How Control Freak Unlocks A New Body Horror Fear You've Never Even Thought Of Explained By Stars & Director

Control Freak, now streaming on Hulu, takes parasitic feelings (such as anxiety or self-doubt) and turns them into literal parasites in a fresh new approach to body horror. The movie stars Kelly Marie Tran (Star Wars: The Last Jedi) as Val, a motivational speaker whose need for control in her life is upended in ways that stretch from failed attempts to conceive to an un-scratchable itch. It is precisely said itch that gives way to the movie’s monster, known as a “Sanshi,” a Daoist demon that feeds on the misery of its host.
