marketing goal with Baghead is to turn it into another The Blair
Witch Project: a horror film where the terror is more
psychological than physical and where the characters spend a lot
more time chatting and arguing than running for their lives. The
problem with Baghead isn't that it's cheaply made but that it's
sloppily composed. Even under the most undiscriminating
scrutiny, its logic doesn't hold up. The acting varies from
awful to sub-par. And the direction celebrates the film's low
budget. Baghead contains individual moments that work
effectively but, when assembled into a whole, everything
crumbles like a poorly stacked house of cards.  The film's
premise is fascinating and makes for a great trail
