Hulu has debuted a first look at their upcoming new horror film, a feature adaptation of an earlier short, Control Freak, due to arrive on the platform next month.

What’s Happening:

Hulu has released a number of first look images from their upcoming horror film, Control Freak, from WorthenBrooks and Hulu Originals.
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 of a motivational speaker 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.
Joining the main cast are Toan Le as Valerie’s father, Sang, and Kieu Chinh as Aunt Thuy, both of whom play pivotal roles in Valerie's harrowing ordeal.
Control Freak was developed and produced by WorthenBrooks for Hulu Originals. The producing team includes David Brooks, Arbi Pedrossian, and Jenna Cavelle, with Shaum S. Sengupta and Miles Alva serving as executive producers.
