Baghead (2023)
4/10
Starts well, fizzles out badly.

Well this film certainly starts out strongly (despite some cheapish special effects).

It has a brilliant novel idea but that soon gives way to some really awful story decisions and ventures then into attempts at jump scares (not that I'm usually against those) and gross out scenes that have been done so so many times and better before.

The acting is pretty lacklustre.

It's confusing to me why these characters aren't in absolute terror from the first time they see what emerges from the wall in the basement.

The middle of the movie sags badly with poor pacing.

Which wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't so poorly executed.

Terrible script and unconvincing acting.

The ending is so obvious as well. I don't like being that person who says they saw it coming, but this time it was pretty easy to work out.

There's a high class film in here somewhere but unfortunately it seems they missed the chance by going for silly scares instead of taking a more subtle and creepy route.
