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

Common Sense Media

This exposition-heavy, low-budget horror fails to make the best of the mix of new and familiar faces that make up its promising cast.

Rated: 2/5

Works better when we’re in the dark, mystery-wise, and left unsure as to this creature’s intent and supernatural origins. Things get bogged down when the exposition arrives... A decent enough, small-scale horror flick.

Rated: 3/5

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.

Actors were dumb and were not believable at all, but the storyline and idea for it was a great one. To bad for the bad actors or i should say bad character that were written.

Interesting premise, poorly executed. Very boring, not very clever. Watch it for free. Don't expect much.

Its a low budget film that really isn't worth watching. I give it two stars only because I ended up watching the whole thing. The last 20 minutes, as I was watching I was also reading news stories on my phone. Don't waste your time.

The tension definitely builds up as the story unfolds but when I expected to reach its peak it just becomes lazy. Characters could’ve been more developed and backstory of the which would’ve been so good to dig deeper. Main character was hinted to be the one that would make a difference since she’s been hurt in life but there’s no development on her backstory and her role in the story for *that* ending ends up just being boring and disappointing. Did enjoy the movie but expected the story to be better developed.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

Not too bad but not great. I agree with the critics on this one, too much earnest exposition instead of letting the story carry itself forward. Still it passed the time in agreeable fashion and that’s a good thing
