A mother locked inside 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.

The Voice’s vengeful motives are ridiculous, and the audience is captive to the special dullness only a suspenseless potboiler can provide.

2/5

Director James Mark keeps the imagery sleek and the atmosphere intriguing but, even when another person appears, it's difficult to care about characters and a situation that are so undefined.

An admirable albeit flawed evolution of Mark’s genre filmmaking, this delivers some of his familiar bloody carnage but functions as more of an enigmatic thriller. Despite a solid lead, early intrigue, and late action, this felt like a misfire by the end.

While Control may be limited by its budget, it’s certainly not hampered by a lack of imagination.

3/5

Making the best of its single room setting (reminiscent of cult classic Cube), James Mark's sci-fi thriller achieves a lot with a little – snappy visuals, a simple concept, and a compelling lead performance.

There are some smart ideas here which help to keep the film interesting even if they never quite achieve their potential.
