Star Wars: Episode VIII – The Last Jedi star Kelly Marie Tran will find herself dealing with a mysterious parasitic affliction in WorthenBrooks and Hulu Original’s Control Freak, and our exclusive first look images indicate a psychologically disturbing, bloody time ahead.

Control Freak debuts exclusively on Hulu on March 13 before heading to Disney+ internationally at a later date.

The logline for this psychological thriller is straightforward, simple, and effective: “A motivational speaker is tormented by an unrelenting itch on the back of her head.” That strange itch gives way to an intense journey as the woman finds herself battling a parasitic demon from her homeland.

Tran plays  “Valerie, a woman whose life spirals into chaos due to this inexplicable and relentless affliction.” Opposite Tran, Miles Robbins (Daniel Isn’t Real, Halloween) plays “her on-screen husband Robbie.”  Toan Le rounds out the cast as Valerie’s father, Sang, with Kieu Chinh as Aunt Thuy.

The Hulu Original horror movie was written and directed by Shal Ngo (The Park, “The Box”), expanding his 2021 horror short “Control” featured in the second season of Hulu’s Bite Size Halloween. That means that Control Freak joins the ranks of WorthenBrooks’s expanding slate of horror features for Hulu, which includes titles like Appendage, The Mill, Clock, Mr. Crocket, and Carved.

The producing team behind Control Freak includes David Brooks, Arbi Pedrossian, Jenna Cavelle, and Shaum S. Sengupta, with Miles Alva serving as executive producer.

Look for Shal Ngo’s Control Freak to arrive next month on Hulu. In the meantime, check out the exclusive first look images below, which doesn’t give away any parasitic details but does tease a bloody journey ahead.
