Baghead (2023)
4/10
Half of a decent horror movie

Warning: Spoilers
I'll save my editorial commentary for the end but this was a less than mediocre horror movie.

It actually starts off very strong, the first half of this movie I kept thinking how is this movie so low rated. It had a great concept, a good setup, and was pretty scary. Then the middle of the movie hits and it all becomes clear.

The movie bogs down and moves off its interesting premise. It becomes highly predictable and boring. You can see it coming a mile away. The acting throughout is subpar even the lead actress who i have seen in other shows. It even ceases to be scary. As others have mentioned, talk to me is a way better movie, avoid this lackluster movie.

Now for mu editorial rant. Do we really need another horror movie where all the men are evil, loathsome, and incompetent (mostly all three). And vice versa, all the women are brave, strong, and misunderstood. If you just understood this, you can figure out the ending in the first 20 mins. There an evil female demon killing and manipulating everyone but its not her fault, men are to blame. They misused her powers and turned her this way. Theres even some poppycock society called the brotherhood (how original) who cause this to happen twice in history (just to drive the idea home). I know moviemakers think this story line and female only leads in horror movies is new and different. However in reality, this has become the tired norm in the last 5 or so years. Can we go back to just telling good scary stories?
