No, I don't think so. Shoddy controls just made it easier for developers to invoke suspense. The controls got better but the developers didn't. That's why today's Horror games don't seem as good anymore.

But we already had quite decent survival horror games with great controls. They got their suspense by not giving the player options to fight back, which is a very good way to go since helplessness is a big theme in horror.
