Baghead is a terrifying figure who can summon the dead to the living world for short intervals, causing chaos and revealing chilling intentions.
"Bringing the Dead to Life," exclaimed Freya Allan, the breakout star from Netflix's 'The Witcher', in anticipation of her role in the upcoming horror film 'Baghead.' Two years ago, as reported by Deadline, the Studiocanal and The Picture Company production began its captivating journey in Berlin, promising a chilling blend of horror and supernatural.
'Baghead' - Allan's New Terrifying Venture
The script, masterfully penned by Christina Pamies and Bryce McGuire, was directed by Alberto Corredor, the brain behind the original short film that inspired the full-length feature. "Baghead revolves around a mysterious figure, a diminutive wrinkled-up person who is able to manifest the dead and bring them back to our world for short intervals," said Allan about the upcoming horror flick, brimming with excitement.
The film doesn't shy away from delving into the psychological depth of its characters, especially Allan's lead role, who must face off against the menacing entity linked ominously to her family's past. The narrative aims to combine the elements of suspense in a 'Saw'-like fashion with supernatural surprises.
'Baghead' - Building on a Legacy of Horror Success
The masterminds behind 'Baghead' include The Picture Company partners Alex Heineman & Andrew Rona and Vertigo’s Roy Lee, the executive producer, along with Alibi’s Jake Wagner. They follow in the footsteps of other successful horror producers like David F. Sandberg (Lights Out), Andy Muschietti (Mama), and Neill Blomkamp, whose short film 'Alive in Joberg' became the sensation 'District 9.'
Allan's venture into the terrifying world of 'Baghead' signifies a trend of successful horror and sci-fi shorts transforming into riveting feature-length films. The producers' other ventures include 'Come Play' at Amblin and the Liam Neeson thriller 'Retribution,' both shot in Berlin.
"Evil Entities and Family Ties," Allan said, setting the stage for a thrilling cinematic journey that's bound to captivate audiences globally. From 'The Witcher' to 'Baghead,' Freya Allan continues her meteoric rise, confirming her reputation as a versatile actress who isn't afraid to take on new, challenging roles. We eagerly await the frights and chills that 'Baghead' promises to deliver.
