Saban Films will be giving director James Mark’s supernatural sci-fi thriller Control a theatrical release on September 23rd, with a VOD release to follow just four days later, on September 27th. In anticipation of those dates, a trailer has been released online and can be seen in the embed above.
Starring Sara Mitich, who is best known for playing Nilsson on Star Trek: Discovery, Control was directed by Mark from a screenplay he wrote with Matthew Nayman. The film, which is described as a “tense mashup between Cube and Lucy” tells the following story:
A mother locked inside of a stark room is tasked by an unknown voice to complete increasingly difficult challenges if she wants to save her daughter’s life. As the frequency and intensity of the tasks threaten to overwhelm her, she must piece together half-remembered chapters of her life before imprisonment if she wants to secure her freedom, rescue her child, and escape this waking nightmare. Control is an intensely thrilling sci-fi mystery that will keep you guessing until the final moments.

Mitich is joined in the cast by George Tchortov (Mayor of Kingstown), Evie Loiselle (What We Do in the Shadows), and Karen LeBlanc (The Kings of Napa).
Bruno Marino produced Control, with Tony Del Rio co-producing and Sy Baek, Plato Fountidakis, and Emerson Wong serving as executive producers.
The movie looks to be quite interesting and action-packed for such a contained thriller, so I’ll probably be checking it out at some point. Does Control look like something you would want to watch? Share your thoughts on this one and its trailer by leaving a comment below.
Mark, who got his start as a stuntman, previously directed the 2017 sci-fi action film Kill Order, the 2018 action film On the Ropes, and the 2019 sci-fi action movie Enhanced.
