StudioCanal has released a poster and trailer for Baghead, the supernatural thriller from director Alberto Corredor.
Adapted from the short film of the same name, the film stars The Witcher’s Freya Allan as a young woman who inherits a pub after her father’s death, only to discover a creature residing in its basement that allows you to speak to loved ones who have passed away, but not without consequence. Watch the trailer below…
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.
Joining Freya Allen in the cast of Baghead are Jeremy Irvine, Ruby Barker, Peter Mullan, Saffron Burrows, and Julika Jenkins.
Baghead is coming soon to cinemas.
