Good effort, but overall it just didn't work for me. The cast does a good job, and the low budget doesn't hinder the film, I just never found it engrossing.

Here we have a group of friends heading out to a cabin in the woods to write a horror movie. Then things start to "REALLY" happen.

It is a nice, simple premise film that makes it seem like a good enough filmmaker can make a movie out of any premise and still make it enjoyable. But Baghead's most positive factor is that the characters exist in a reality, full of awkward moments, humor, and surprising bursts of actually scary moments (although not overtly and not in excess) that I really enjoyed. Steve Zissis provides a particularly funny performance and Greta Gerwig is always fun to watch, especially because this was when she was in her early, breakout indie films. I feel like Steve Zissis could have gone on to bigger roles in bigger films, but, ah. In short, this is a breezy, funny, real, admirably small, and kinda scary film, and that is something to cherish.… Expand
