Control

Control (2022) is a Canadian-French sci-fi thriller you can watch online on iFILM, and it keeps things tight: one woman against a voice she can't see. Eileen wakes strapped to a chair in a locked room. A stranger speaks inside her head and lays out the rules — obey, or her husband and daughter die.

She has no choice, so she plays along. That's when the real twist surfaces: the tasks switch on a telekinetic power she never knew she had. Eileen starts bending and hurling objects with her mind, dropping the guards sent after her, and feeling her way out of the trap one room at a time. An armed crew waits beyond the door, and somewhere above sits the person running this cruel experiment. Getting free means figuring out who locked her in, and why.

Director James Mark came up through stunt work, and it shows — on a small budget, the fights and the telekinesis move fast and rarely sag. Sara Mitich carries the lead. A lean genre ride at ninety minutes, made for anyone who likes confined spaces and superpowers. Stream Control (2022) online on iFILM.
