Val, HuraWatch, played by Kelly Marie Tran, is a celebrated motivational speaker known for her self-help seminars that focus on controlling one's impulses to achieve personal growth. As she gears up for an international tour, Val begins to experience a persistent itch on the back of her head, representing her repressed anxieties and unresolved issues from her past. This itch evolves into a parasitic demon inspired by East Asian folklore, forcing Val to confront her family's history and her own mental health. The film delves into the effects of generational trauma, especially within immigrant families. The experiences of Val's parents during the Vietnam War and their later immigration to the United States have profoundly impacted her mental well-being. https://hurawatch.vip/control-freak-2025/
