Control Freak (2025)
Directed by Shal Ngo
1.0/5INSTINCT "MINDY"Quick Hit
Control Freak leans into tension and unpredictability, delivering a solid genre hit.
Full Take
Control Freak builds atmosphere with a steady hand, mixing suspense and character pressure into something that keeps you locked in. It’s not reinventing the genre, but it delivers enough intensity and style to make it worth your time.

I’m not with this one. Control Freak had setup, but it never gave me a payoff worth caring about.

I actually agree with this take. It’s not perfect but it definitely delivers in key moments.
