Baghead

Last night the wife and I sat down to watch this movie after a long day of unpacking. It was an interesting movie, with a lot of subtle little qualities that made it very enjoyable to watch.

A low budget independent film, Baghead was created by the Duplas brothers. It started off making me think that I would most likely regret ever picking it up. It is by far one of the strangest beginnings, as it really seemed to have no bearing on a thriller type movie. As well the characters initially come off as awkward and difficult to grasp. However, quickly the characters start to actually develop and the actors start to seem more comfortable in their roles.

Without delving too far into the movie, I have to give credit to the creators. They really pull off some good scenes that feel genuinely scary. One of the bigest credits of this film is how it eventually feels "real". The creators seemed to put a lot of effort into making a movie that I feel that most of the audience can probably empathize with. Although, the target audience is most likely the type that would enjoy independant film. (An early scene in the show, of the group of friend's driving to the cabin, seems to be an allusion to Sam Raimi's Evil Dead)

Perhaps I am giving the movie too much credit. It could be that I just like to see the independant win out over the multi million dollar crap that holywood tends to churn out. Anyway, I just thought I would recommend this show to anyone looking for something to watch this week. It might not be your cup of tea, but I don't think it will disapoint. Well at least not too much.

  1. I'm downloading it right now. I look forward to watching it.

    I don't know if you saw the movie Primer, but I think you might like its take on time travel. I didn't quite get it the first time I watched it as it doesn't really explain what is happening as much as it does simply show. It is one of the better low budget flicks I have ever seen.

  2. Watched Primer a few nights back. What a bizarre show. I think I would have to watch it a few more times to fully understand everything that is happening.
