Interesting, the story has different plot elements, it's a horror movie that also involves discoveries. It has good performances, a good atmosphere, a lot of tension and some good scares, it just could have invested a little more time in the conclusion.

The movie Is brilliant story wise You might see some repetitive loud noises for cheap jump scares. At first that might throw some people off. But Is a definite fresh new story unlike others. Much like " talk to me " I highly recommend giving it a chance. This could potentially span a sequel for a more In depth story

It wasn't completely awful, sometimes it lived up to its premise, but mostly it was just boring. I yawned through half of it. If you want to shut down for the day this will definitely help you off to dreamland.

This supernatural horror is really good, kind of gross, lore of the shape shifter is pretty interesting, acting not bad and once the movie gets started it does not stop and there are some jump scares and not all gore but the shape shifter does have good make up for a original streaming movie and do like that frightness or the scares are more psychological and not really violent which makes movie more interesting also. Give a 1/2 star for it cause of the typicalness with no one listen to the rules and there always you is annoying and level headed you know the voice of reason ends dying. The ending was a surprise and definitely recommend but only a one time watch for me. All in all I give a B+👍👍

I quite enjoyed this movie. I'm glad I didn't check the reviews before hand. It wasn't that scary but it was ominous and I really loved the story. Even the twists were unexpected and the cast was also good.

Baghead isn't scary - even though it's an entity in the basement that will turn up to be whoever you want for a few minutes. The lure to use baghead to communicate with the dad was lame.

[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

Sight & Sound

while the slippery shapeshifter is certainly demonised (mostly by male characters), she is also a feminist heroine of sorts, collaborating with Iris to emancipate herself from oppressive effacement imposed by a patriarchal ‘brotherhood’."

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.

... falls victim to the usual follies that come with shorts-turned-features unable to sustain their big-screen treatments.
