Harder really sticks the landing too, with a nicely nasty jolt that leaves the audience with more questions than answers. There are some odd moments that push Incontrol into schlockier territory, in particular a late-introduced character trait related to sucking a lollipop, but otherwise this is a restrained, stylish and thought-provoking slice of sci-fi horror. She’s a great audience insert because her motivations are never quite clear either. The big question hanging over Incontrol is: what happens to the person who’s swapped bodies if the host dies? When this does eventually come up, it’s handled neatly, while the vanilla heroine continues to sit and sadly read texts/eat peanut butter as Mark’s girlfriend, completely unaware of the danger. There’s a suggestion that swapping places with someone may be a form of addiction, even a stand-in for an eating disorder in the case of the very slight Samantha, but this isn’t hammered home either, merely quietly suggested. There are sequences where it’s unclear whether Samantha’s boss, for example, is in control of her own faculties and these are left mostly open to debate.Īvery Kentis’s score is a low, sci-fi hum that accentuates that things aren’t quite as they seem without ever outright screaming it in our faces. You're watching the official music video for Laura Branigan - 'Self Control' from the album 'Self Control' (1984).

The concept is cool, a sort of it-could-really-happen-one-day idea that, much to his credit, Harder doesn’t over-complicate. There’s virtually no setup, InControl wasting not a moment of its zippy, 82-minute run-time. As they push the machine’s abilities to its limits, they begin to question the device itself.

By default, the current release will be used.
