Ok movie, disingenuous negative reviews

The movie was OK, not great by any means, but watchable. The production value was decent. Other than Kelly Marie Tran, the acting was average. However her Ba, played by Toan Le, was also exceptional. The creep factor was also average. I never felt an overwhelming sense of dread, and that's obviously what the movie was going for. Just didn't completely land for me. Due to the limited budget, I imagine most of it went towards the lead actress and the SFX. Other than those two characters and central story, nothing else is really fleshed out. Although this was another one of those the metaphor-is-the-monster movies, this one actually had a real monster, though there were plenty of hallucination moments.As far as the very negative reviews, you can kinda see the pattern. Bunch of incels rattled that an Asian woman has the audacity to get the lead role in a film. I guess this could bother me if I was twelve years old, but being an adult, this "issue" had no bearing on my ability to watch and enjoy the movie.So in summary, an average movie that could be worth your while. There are literally thousands of poorer choices you can make in the indie-horror genre than this one.

Nasty bugs in a poor movie

I really tried to give this move a chance. There are not alot of redeeming qualities to this film. The acting is very hit and miss, sometimes they will convey all the true emotions then it's equal to a bad soap opera. The special effects are extremely lack luster. The shadows are done will but that's it. I can't say more without spoiling it. You'll see what I mean... It's rough. The story itself is very bad. It falls apart quick and doesn't come back. One thing this movie does very well is make you think you have an itch on your head. All the main character does is scratch! This movie is something to have on in the background but don't expect alot from it.

Watchable...

I was not familiar with this 2025 movie from writer and director Shal Ngo prior to stumbling upon it by random chance. And the movie's cover was interesting enough to make me stop up and take notice. And since it was a horror movie, of course I opted to check it out.The narrative and storyline in the movie is somewhat of an acquired taste. I doubt that this is movie that will easily find a widespread appeal with the general audience. The narrative is unique, and thus might be somewhat of a niche thing. I found it to be adequate, but "Control Freak" by far from one of the greatest psychological horror movies that I've sat through.The acting performances in the movie were good. And it was definitely nice to see Kelly Marie Tran in the leading role, and she carried the movie quite nicely.Visually then the movie was okay. The special effects weren't outstanding or jaw-dropping, but then again the movie wasn't heavily relying on special effects to carry its narrative.Watchable for what it was, but I doubt that I will ever return to watch "Control Freak" a second time. I will say, though, that I would say you should check out the movie if you enjoy off-beat horror movies that deviate from the generic formula.My rating of writer and director Shal Ngo's 2025 movie "Control Freak" lands on a five out of ten stars.
