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,...

Feeling somewhere between classic Canadian sci-fi Cube and the more recent Level 16, Control is a stunning film that plays things very small scale but ultimately ends up being an epic tale of sci-fi horror.
Locked in a mysterious room and commanded by an unknown voice, Eileen must complete several tasks in order to save her daughter’s life. As the tests and the stakes intensify to the point where succeeding seems well nigh impossible, Eileen is forced to discover she has some unexpected skills and kinetic powers. Armed with a new confidence and commanding forces, alone against an unknown army, she plans a daring escape…
Set, for the most part, entirely in a soundproof room, Control is essentially a one-woman show, with Sara Mitch, as test subject Eileen, holding the film...

No, it’s Enhanced, the new film from director James Mark. He’s teamed up with co-writers Matthew Nayman (Betrayal) and Peter Van Horne for a semi-sequel to Mark’s 2017 film Kill Order. Neither the film’s poster or any press materials refer to Enhanced as a sequel to or even in the same world as Kill Order. But the connections are obvious. The mutant’s powers,...

Back in summer 2005, this writer had the pleasure of appearing in a short film called Something’S Wrong, a Twilight Zone-ish tale of two campers who come across two corpses that are eerily familiar, with things going awry from there. I was very impressed with then 20-year-old director Matthew Nayman: He was confident on set, could think on his feet and had a knowledge of film beyond his years. It was clear we would be hearing more from him someday.
