Here’s a trailer for an upcoming supernatural horror film titled Baghead, which stars Freya Allen (The Witcher). The story centers on a shape-shifting creature that can transform itself into the dead, and of course, Allen’s character draws it out and that takes her on a nightmarish journey. This looks like a wildly creepy and unique story! I’m excited to watch this!
In the film: “After the death of her estranged father, Iris (Allan) learns she has inherited a run-down, centuries-old pub. She travels to Berlin to identify her father’s body and meet with The Solicitor (Ned Dennehy) to discuss the estate. Little does she know, when the deed is signed she will become inextricably tied to an unspeakable entity residing in the pub’s basement. Baghead – a shape-shifting creature that can transform into the dead. Two thousand in cash for two minutes with the creature is all it takes for desperate loved ones to ease their grief. Neil (Jeremy Irvine), who has lost his wife, is Iris’ first customer. Like her father, Iris is tempted to exploit the creature’s powers and help desperate people for a price. But she discovers breaking the two-minute rule can have terrifying consequences. Together with her best friend Katie (Ruby Barker), Iris must battle for control of Baghead & figure out how to destroy her, before she destroys them.”
The movie is based on a short film directed by Alberto Corredor, who also directed the feature-length film. Roy Lee (It, The Ring, The Grudge, The Turning, Godzilla) executive produces, and the movie also stars Ruby Barker, Ned Dennehy, Peter Mullan, Jeremy Irvine, Saffron Burrows, and Svenja Jung. The screenplay is written by Christina Pamies and Bryce McGuire.
Studiocanal will release the film internationally in theaters in January 2024, exact date TBA.
