'Christine', the demonic car, from the Stephen King story. It doesn't talk or anything, it literally is just a car, except sentient and evil. Christine is able to reach out with a supernatural influence, and gradually take control of her driver over time. It's very much framed as a form of seduction. In fact, Christine is just about as heavily sexualized by the narrative as an inanimate object could ever hope to be. In terms of mind control flavor, I'd describe it as slow-burn personality alteration.
There's a unique sort of allure to being hypno-dommed by something with no outwardly visible human qualities. It's like Christine creates herself in the mind of her victim, by influencing him to anthropomorphize her. It makes it feel like this is an entity beyond comprehension. The appeal is similar to how some people get horny for eldrich horrors.
The self repair scene was framed like a strip tease and it fuckin’ *shows*
