When Control Freak is following Valerie’s quest to puzzle together her past—and hopefully cure her godawful itch before a) her speaking tour, or b) she does permanent damage while trying to relieve her agony—there’s an urgency to the story that makes you eager to see what she finds out.

Control Freak sees Kelly Marie Tran's Valerie tortured by itch in the back of her head, but the movie never quite tied everything together.
