Baghead, directed by Alberto Corredor, is set to captivate audiences with its exclusive release on Shudder, AMC Networks’ premium service for horror enthusiasts, on Friday, April 5. This eagerly awaited full-length feature, a transition from Corredor’s acclaimed indie short, emerges as a highlight of Shudder’s “Halfway to Halloween” celebration.
Produced by STUDIOCANAL and The Picture Company, Baghead unfolds the eerie narrative of Iris (Freya Allan), who inherits a decrepit pub only to find it harbors a sinister entity, Baghead, capable of manifesting the dead. As Iris navigates the moral complexities of exploiting Baghead’s powers for profit, she and her best friend Katie (Ruby Barker) are thrust into a chilling battle to control the creature.
Baghead promises a deep dive into the themes of family secrets, the rawness of grief, and the perils of unchecked desires, offering a unique addition to the supernatural horror genre.
