Baghead
Réalisé par Alberto Corredor
Suite au décès de son père avec qui elle n’était plus en contact, Iris apprend qu’elle hérite de son vieux bar délabré. Ce qu’elle ne sait pas, c’est qu’une créature métamorphe capable de se transformer en morts habite dans la cave du pub Baghead. Iris a alors l’idée de réunir des personnes en deuil avec l’être cher qu’elles ont perdu, moyennant paiement. Le veuf Neil est ainsi prêt à débourser 2000 en cash pour passer seulement deux minutes avec sa femme décédée. Mais le non-respect de cette règle des deux minutes peut avoir des conséquences angoissantes. C’est avec sa meilleure amie Katie qu’Iris doit se battre pour rester maître de Baghead avant que Baghead ne les détruise.

Baghead Notations et commentaires
- Timeless Cinema28 juin 2025The limited ideas behind baghead get streched across its 95 min runtime. The short film did a better job at showing its potential.
- jackmeat15 octobre 2025My quick rating - 5.5/10. Baghead is one of those films that makes you double-check your basement before going to bed, or at least rethink inheriting any mysterious property from estranged relatives. This chilling little slice of atmospheric European horror follows Iris (Freya Allan), who finds herself the reluctant owner of a rundown pub in Berlin after her father dies. Most people inherit photo albums or maybe a watch. Iris gets a creepy tavern with a creature in the cellar. Lucky her. Allan, who was a new face to me (I somehow dodged The Witcher), handles herself admirably here. She grounds the story with just enough vulnerability and stubbornness to make her a believable “I should leave but absolutely won’t” horror protagonist. As Iris starts poking around her inherited money pit, she discovers the pub isn’t just old — it’s cursed. Hidden beneath it is Baghead, an entity capable of transforming into deceased loved ones for a brief period of time. Essentially, it’s grief counseling… but with far higher stakes. Naturally, once other people find out about this supernatural FaceTime feature, moral lines start blurring faster than you can say “this is a terrible idea.” If there's one universal law in horror, it’s that if a monster has any utility, someone will find a way to monetize it. And surprise — it doesn’t go well. Where Baghead excels is in its atmosphere. The sound design and dim, grime-slick cinematography work overtime to create a lingering sense of dread. The basement scenes in particular are deliciously tense — the kind of sequences where you don’t realize you’ve been holding your breath until the cut to daylight. The mystery surrounding the entity and Iris’s inheritance unfolds at a deliberate pace, drawing you in with enough intrigue to keep your curiosity stoked. But that slow-burn approach is also its double-edged sword. The middle act drags its feet like a zombie in ankle weights. There are stretches where the tension dips and scenes run just a little longer than they should, testing patience instead of nerves. It never fully derails, but you do start wishing someone would pick up the narrative pace, or at least turn on another light. Still, even with its pacing stumbles, Baghead is a compelling watch. It’s eerie, moody, and just original enough to stand apart from your standard “mysterious-entity-in-the-floorboards” fare. With a bit more tightening and maybe one or two more truly standout scares, it could’ve clawed its way into elite horror territory. As it stands, it’s a solidly spooky experience that horror fans will appreciate — even if it doesn’t haunt you for days afterward. Just don’t go inheriting pubs. Nothing good ever lives in the basement.
- Niztradamus24 septembre 2025They had something they were going for and that was a creative take on djjini formula but the execution is rather lackluster. A girl inherits a pub in Germany where an old woman/demon/witch/something like that to not spoil you, is a supernatural prisoner in the basement of the aformentioned pub. Great idea! Why would you go down a completely safe and standard route like this is a possession movie? Why oh why would you not make this truly interesting? Let the girl actually start selling the womans services (not what you think), sell her powers? They talk about it in the movie. Why not follow through and see where that storyline takes us? Make something truly unique. It's a really bland movie with a great initial premise.
