Watch Baghead For Free

I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

So this is 'mumblecore'? This is the first 'mumblecore' film I've watched and on this evidence, it's unlikely I'll watch anymore.I was hoping for a silly horror film parody, something similar to the recent and infinitely better Rubber featuring a nasty rubber tyre that likes to blow peoples head ups with the power of its little rubber mind.Unfortunately, though Baghead does feature a guy who stands menacingly outside four friends' cabin in the woods with a bag on his head, it also features no surprises, not much of a script and DV cinematography that just seems downright lazy.Beginning with a preachy bit about still being able to make good films on a very low budget, it then proceeds to prove that it doesn't matter what size your budget is, you need some likable characters and some interesting plot developments that aren't obvious about 10-20 minutes before they are revealed.I guess this might be likable if you like 'mumblecore' films like Funny Ha Ha and In Search of a Midnight Kiss but after this I won't be in too much of a hurry to seek them out.If you fancy an unconventional, silly horror film... go watch Rubber... NOW!

Matt and Chad, spurred on by the fact that Matt's friend Jett has actually made a film that's playing the indie circuit, while their careers are stagnant, decide to hunker down at a cabin in the woods to finally make a film. They bring Michelle & Catherine along, both having the hots for Matt, much to the chagrin of Chad (who has a crush on Michelle). While there Michelle claims to have had a dream about seeing a mysterious person with a bag on his head, which in turn gives Matt an idea for the film.I don't really know if I can say that I enjoyed the film or not. On one hand it starts off well enough and the actors were all serviceable, it was humorous in spots, . and as an excersise in 'guerrilla film-making' it works sporadically. while on the other the big reveal is way too easy to surmise and the lack of any real ending with both two serious failings of the movie. I would hesitantly recommend the film for at least one viewing for fan of low-budget do it yourself type films, but all others could skip it without missing out on too much.Eye Candy: Cass Naumann and Greta Gerwig both get topless My Grade: C-Where I saw it: Instant Netflix via Xbox 360

I don't know about all the haters on this movie, but I, for one, thought this was a very good little film Sure, it's low budget, sure it's a bit sleepy in some parts, but overall, it's got a very good thing going for it. I liked this film because a) i like slasher movies, and b) it's not a stupid slasher movie. Actually, it's not really a slasher movie at all, but a comedy with slasher-tinges to it. If you need a good movie with believable characters, pretty good plot, and can get past a few boring moments, then I believe this is the film for you. The Duplass brothers have a very good skill of writing believable, colloquial dialogue, which I think helps the film. Overall, i give this movie 8/10 stars.

I'm a huge horror fan and I rarely post a comment about any of them. They must either be very good or very very bad. Baghead is very very very very bad. This movie is lowest form of cinema, one where there are NO redeeming values. Annoying characters discussing inane crap, uncomfortable scenes, stupid character actions, putrid acting, abysmal sub Uwe Boll directing and one of the worst scripts to ever be put to film.Four "friends" and struggling actors go to a remote cabin to brainstorm a movie script that will feature the four of them. Nearly 50 minutes in we finally get to see good ol' Baghead and then back to nothing happening. I cannot stress enough how worthless this pile of excrement of a movie was. Aside from The Stink Of Flesh I can't recall a movie leaving a worse taste in my mouth by nothing but its awfulness.How anyone could dare recommend this pile to another human is beyond my comprehension. If my son had made Baghead and brought it to me for my approval I would immediately disown him.
