  Control Freak 2025

  ★★★ Watched 17 Mar 2025

  Creepy. The ants were thoroughly distressing. Good creature design. Apt metaphor on generational traumas being pass down. And I'm all for a Kelly Marie Tran masterclass showcase.

I haven't seen the documentary this was based on but I think that would've been a better watch. Maybe next time.

I caught myself laughing only a few times: Theo James pulling himself apart and saying “Let’s make like eggs and SCRAMBLE.” That weird dude who shows up in a police officer outfit knocking on the motel door, “Open up MOTHERFUCKERS.” And the “too slow” handshake fake out at the end of the movie which happens twice by the way lol I think those were the only memorable moments for me. I also appreciated the color grading and the…
