Baghead (2023)
2/10
Too little, too late.

Warning: Spoilers
Watch Talk To Me instead. You won't find anything particularly novel or well-written here. Each time it looks like the film may go in an interesting direction, it quickly takes you down the least creative path. Like many modern horror movies it relies on a cheap scares and lazy exposition instead of a compelling story. The most important elements of a horror film like suspense and tension are rushed, making them almost completely absent. This plot has so much unrealized potential which could have been resolved by simply extending the runtime to delve deeper into character origins and motivations. As one would expect, the film relies heavily on it's 'monster' but reveals its origin so late into the film that you wouldn't be mistaken for thinking that they hid that reveal until the second half of the plot because it would be unattractive to most audiences.
