Featured review
In London, Iris Lark (Freya Allan) is an unemployed young woman without any possession and evicted from her room. Her best friend, Katie (Ruby Barker), supports her and offers Iris to stay with her. Out of the blue, Iris receives a phone call informing that her estranged father, Owen Lark (Peter Mullan), has died and asking her to identify his body. Iris travels to Berlin, where her father lived, and the lawyer tells her that she has inherited a four-hundred-year-old bar and offers to sell the estate. However, Iris asks to stay for a period in the building and signs the deed. She calls Katie and her friend decides to travel to Berlin to meet her. During the night, a man, Neil (Jeremy Irvine) asks to see the creature that lives in the basement and offers 4,000 Euros to Iris. She tells him that she does not have the key but schedules his visit on the next night. Katie arrives and they go with Neil to the basement. They meet Baghead (Anne Müller), a witch that is capable to summon the dead and shapeshift her appearance for two minutes, provided the consultant brings some object that belonged to the deceased. She only obeys the owner of the bar, Iris presently. Neil brings a ring that belonged to his estranged mother before belonging to his wife Sarah (Svenja Jung) and his mother comes instead. He says that he committed a mistake and offers another 4,000 Euros to Iris to meet Baghead again. Iris finds a videotape from her father warning how dangerous Baghead is and to not use her powers, but the money tempts Iris, and she continues to see Baghead despite the warning received.
"Baghead" (2023) is a horror movie that deserves to be watched. The creepy story is original and the only problem, in my point of view, is the lack of charisma of Iris and Neil. Katie is the only character that the viewer may connect and feel sorry for her. Iris is warned by her father to the danger that she is exposed but is more interested in money. The viewer sees that she is poor but risking her life to raise money is not an intelligent procedure. The conclusion indicates a possible sequel, with Baghead outside the basement. My vote is six.
Title (Brazil): "A Bruxa dos Mortos: Baghead" ("The Witch of the Dead: Baghead")
