Baghead

This film left me feeling incredibly disappointed. While the first and last parts managed to capture my attention, the middle section was a tedious experience that left me reaching for my phone to alleviate my boredom. One of the main issues with the film is its lack of creativity and a compelling plot. While it attempts to tell a unique story, it ultimately falls flat, feeling simplistic and uninteresting. One aspect that the film did manage to get right was its visual effects and jumpscares. There were moments that genuinely frightened me, and the visual elements were well-executed. However, these scares alone couldn't compensate for the film's weak storyline. It felt as though the filmmakers relied too heavily on these elements without giving enough attention to crafting a solid and engaging narrative. On a positive note, the cast delivered commendable performances. Despite the film's shortcomings, the actors managed to bring their characters to life with fabulous acting. Their dedication and talent were evident throughout, and they did the best they could with the material they were given. It's unfortunate that their efforts weren't supported by a stronger script and a more captivating storyline. If you're looking for a movie to watch purely for entertainment purposes, I would suggest giving this film a chance and forming your own opinion. It's possible that others may find aspects of it more enjoyable than I did. However, if you're seeking a horror film that offers a worthwhile investment of your time and money, I would recommend looking elsewhere.

Baghead was such a decent horror movie for rodays standards. The storyline had me was good from start to finish. Horrors can be so fake and predictable and some storylines are so played out, but this storyline had a different spin. It was unique and the acting was surprisingly good, not too cringey or overacted. The ending did feel a bit rushed, but it could have been worse. It actually left me wanting more and hoping for a sequel, and there ia definitely potential with the way it ended. Overall I had a blast watching Baghead and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who loves a good suspenseful horror flick.

Giving this an 7/10 rating

Clever and grim, horror film is set in just one location, a very slim cast and this means getting to the point with no messing about. A college drop out has to take over a ancient pub from her father who has died, but the pub has a secret with it, and evil with it.

Like 'Night Swim', this is based on a short movie. Guess this a real trend now, which is fine, so long as they are good. It's very fast and simply done, with good production design that you have to pay close attention too.

The cast of Freya Allan, Ruby Barker, Jeremy Irvine and the great Peter Mullan and Saffron Burrows are tormented good, Anne Muller is excellent as the 'Baghead' in question. Humans are shown as real scumbags as they all are in this, and this is important for the narrative.

Never thought Peter Mulanwould do a horror film, but he is very good in this, plays with his role with the authority he needs, look forward to more from Freya Allan, she displays proper emotion, given the role she must work in, A simple enough horror film, it's fine film fun, but really scary all out.

Shame. I really wanted to enjoy it more.

Intriguing premise. A creature that can bring the dead for 2 minutes! And only 2 or it will take control (But doesn't that sound familiar? Talk to Me, anyone?)

Freya Allan (The Witcher) did her best as did the supporting cast, featuring the likes of Peter Mullan (Tyrannosaur) and Saffron Burrows (Deep Blue Sea).

Unfortunately the film lacked any real tension or suspense and despite its surprisingly short length, it felt like a real slog. Relieved by a few jump scares.

I just wish more time was spent on the origin of the creature and character depth to actually feel anything.

It just seemed to go through the motions with the same ol' predictable hokum and some bizarre 2000s visual effects from The Mummy films.

A shame. It killed the time but it won't be haunting my memories for long.

Ok first some praise: Freya Allan is a talented young actress. Unfortunately she's the only good thing in the movie.

I love a good horror film in fact I love plenty of horror films that many people consider bad but sadly this won was below the level of quality to even be entertaining.

It's a shame because the concept itself could have been interesting. Having the ability to bring someone back from the dead but only for a brief time is a good idea and could have been used to great effect Especially if the downside of this lead to being haunted by a Grudge style entity etc.

The plot just wastes its own concept with one boring character and very few different people are even brought back from the dead at all. What we get are endless repetitive scenes of the shapeshifter jumping out with a loud noise.

The best friend is a pointless tedious character that serves no purpose at all.

I guess the first 20 minutes were reasonable but after that it runs out of steam and never provides even one genuinely scary moment.
