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.

I'm going to give this a solid 3 1/2 out of 5 , it avoids the tired clichés of many horrors/slashers gives enough back story to make it plausible, there weren't any jump scares but it off balances too much to settle in and watch it

"Baghead" takes horror in a fresh direction with a shocking, unforgettable ending. The main character’s death adds depth, making the film not just scary but emotionally impactful. .

Just a boring movie. "Horror"? I couldn't find it anywhere. Some very bad acting except from Mullan.

I see so many critics comparing this movie to Talk to Me. And although I see the similarities, I think Baghead is a far superior film…way more suspenseful and way more creepy.

I enjoyed this one more than I expected. The core idea was rather new to me. At least not as over familiar as a haunted house or slasher. I also loved the dark cleverness of the movies end. Sadly the execution feels a bit blunt since the characters all remain one dimensional and behave predictable.

Concept was boring, story was boring, characters were boring and jump scares were terrible. There is nothing in this movie that is good at all.
