Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube)

It's a horror film that isn't scary, and that's always going to be an issue.

[Baghead] gets trapped in its own overcomplicated narrative contrivances, which suggest not the inevitable grip of death, but the endless try-hard of not-quite-baked genre product.

Corredor doesn’t take the time to make any of this matter to us. Apart from being encouraged to marvel at Iris’s uncanny self-composure in the face of the forces she’s managed to stir up, we don’t really get to understand what she’s about.

Rated: 2.5/5

If the superior Talk to Me didn’t exist I’d probably rate Baghead a little higher, however it still earns its place in the horror market with a haunting titular creation steeped in the stuff of nightmares.

There’s competence on display, but Baghead ends up feeling very paint-by-numbers.

Rated: 4/10

The tremendous reach which has been enjoyed by Talk To Me is hardly the fault of the team behind Baghead, even if we accept that Talk To Me is a very good horror story in its own right. But so is Baghead.

Derivative, predicable and worst of all, boring. It seems to hit ever marker of a poor horror. Only watch if you want a masterclass in what NOT to do.

I really liked this film, it was refreshing to see a new twist on the horror film storylines which are usually very predictable. I wouldn't say it was "scary" but few horror films actually scare me so don't take my word for it, especially if your not a usual horror viewer as there are a few jump scares. I really enjoyed the storyline so much so that I hope they make a sequel, so I would recommend people to watch it as I enjoyed it.
