Kelly Marie Tran Has an Itch in the Control Freak Trailer

Hulu has shared the official trailer and poster for the horror feature Control Freak, which will begin streaming on the service on March 13.

Directed and written by Shal Ngo, known for his work on The Park, The Box and The Last Fisherman, Control Freak introduces a chilling narrative: “A motivational speaker is tormented by an unrelenting itch on the back of her head.”

This intriguing premise leads into a terrifying journey as she battles a parasitic demon from her homeland, bringing a fresh and thrilling perspective to the horror genre.

Shal Ngo was tapped to write and direct the short film Control in 2021 for the second season of Hulu’s Bite Size Halloween. The feature version of “Control Freak” developed from this initial short, becoming part of WorthenBrooks’s robust slate of horror features for Hulu, which includes titles like Appendage, The Mill, Clock, Mr. Crocket and Carved.

The film stars Kelly Marie Tran, celebrated for her roles in Star Wars: Episode VIII – The Last Jedi and Raya and the Last Dragon, as Valerie, a woman whose life spirals into chaos due to this inexplicable and relentless affliction.

Alongside Tran, Miles Robbins plays her on-screen husband Robbie, adding depth and suspense to the storyline.
