Baghead Shudder Release Date
Having made its theatrical bow in Germany at the very end of 2023, Baghead streams on Shudder as part of its Halfway to Halloween lineup on April 5, 2024.
Following the death of her estranged father (Peter Mullan), Iris (Freya Allan) learns she has inherited a run-down, centuries-old pub. She travels to Berlin to identify her father’s body and meet with The Solicitor (Ned Dennehy) to discuss the estate. Little does she know, when the deed is signed, she will become inextricably tied to an unspeakable entity that resides in the pub’s basement–Baghead–a shape-shifting creature that can transform into the dead. Two thousand in cash for two minutes with the creature is all it takes for desperate loved ones to ease their grief.
Neil (Jeremy Irvine), who has lost his wife, is Iris’ first customer. Like her father, Iris is tempted to exploit the creature’s powers and help desperate people for a price. But she soon discovers breaking the two-minute rule can have terrifying consequences. Together with her best friend Katie (Ruby Barker), Iris must battle to keep control of Baghead and figure out how to destroy her, before she destroys them
Corredor adapts his short film to direct Baghead. The cast for the film includes Peter Mullan (Ozark), Freya Allan (The Witcher), Ned Dennehy (Mandy), Jeremy Irvine (The Woman in Black: Angel of Death), and Ruby Barker (Wolfblood).
