Mark Kermode Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube) It's a horror film that isn't scary, and that's always going to be an issue. Apr 30, 2024 Full Review Noah Berlatsky Chicago Reader [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. Mar 29, 2024 Full Review Sandra Hall Sydney Morning Herald 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 Feb 29, 2024 Full Review Ian Bunting Daily Record (UK) 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. May 8, 2024 Full Review Aaron Neuwirth We Live Entertainment There’s competence on display, but Baghead ends up feeling very paint-by-numbers. Rated: 4/10 Apr 18, 2024 Full Review Keri O'Shea Warped Perspective 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. Apr 13, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

fabricio L Conferi com nenhuma expectativa, e isso foi bom.. mas assim eu consegui me surpreender bastante. (Positivamente) O fato de não prometer muita coisa, pode acabar sendo respondido positivamente, como foi no meu caso. Não é ruim, não é péssimo, "FRACO" talvez possa ser considerado. Personagens com não muitas camadas, mas na minha experiência isso não acaba me incomodando em nada. A Bruxa principal é até que bem retratada durante o filme. Personagens bem fracos, mas que na minha visão continuam funcionando bem apesar de tudo. Acabou me agradando bastante, eu consigo sim considerar um bom filme e um bom entretenimento. Até que vale a pena. (Apesar dos problemas, eu gostei muito) Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/29/25 Full Review Puseletso S Not bad. It had some scary parts but the characters could have been unpacked more, especially the scary lady trapped in the basement. Like why did she want to leave? Where is she going? Also if Neil represented the men who put her there would she not want to torment him instead of killing him so instantly? Also what happened to kitty, is her soul sucked up, why didn't we see her die? Why did she hurt her? And where are the other dead bodies, she couldn't have been the first to die in the tunnels given that she was trapped there for so many centuries. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/24/25 Full Review Chris P Interesting concept but still had some tropes that I could do without. Why do people in horror movies insist on NOT following the instructions from the previous owner? I also would have preferred a better title but after seeing the movie I can see why they chose it. I enjoyed this probably more than most because I love seeing unique and original ideas on screen. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/25 Full Review Liam D It has an interesting premise but the film cannot be anything less than an very boring horror movie Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/18/25 Full Review Emmanuel C You could’ve made such a great movie, but instead, you continued with the same tropes that failed all other movies within this genre. You constantly showed the viewer the decisions that always failed everyone. You provided such a great character that wanted to figure it out, but instead, you gave her such a predictable story with it. Every single step of the story, you tried to prove that Iris could be the difference, but instead, you continued throughout the whole movie to prove her wrong. Katie tried, and you gave her such a horrible ending for no reason. I hope this film gets no more views than it already has. It’s such a bad film that I skipped so many parts of the predictable parts of it. The director, producers, and actors should be ashamed. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/13/25 Full Review Ryder N Definitely a little different. A deeper explanation would have helped. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/29/24 Full Review Read all reviews
