Control Freak

John Stark

Control Freak (Hulu)- The Life Coach In This Movie Would Empower You To Watch Something Else What I can say about Control freak is that it has good audio description. Roy Samuelson is narrating this,and while he’s pretty much his consistent usual strong performer, this is a horror film, so the devil in these details belongs to the audio description writer. For a film that isn’t pervasively gory, but does have fleeting moments, and even some attempts at jump scares, the writing is strong. From describing pus coming out of a wound, to the manifestation of a demon, and an … Continue reading Control Freak
