Baghead (2008)

Baghead: Directed by Jay Duplass, Mark Duplass. With Steve Zissis, Ross Partridge, Greta Gerwig, Elise Muller. 4 “actors” go to a cabin in the woods for the weekend to write a movie script. They talk about a relationship movie or a paper bag over the head movie. It starts with an anonymous baghead and slowly escalates.

“Baghead is a true gem, a tribute to indie film-making at its best. I may be partial to no and lo budget film-making, on the other hand I have very little patience for regular art-house talkfests where nothing really happens. The filmmakers here find the perfect balance of indie talking heads type non-plot and a suspenseful genre piece, which is a rare feat.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eDirecting is okay, although the hand-held camera-work can be exhausting sometimes. The actors are great and the relationship drama between the four characters is interesting and at times funny enough to hold the viewersu0026#39; interest. I loved the fact that there is no true horror soundtrack, so the scares and tension work without the usual u0026quot;boou0026quot; staccato sound effects and unnerving suspense music. This is something extremely difficult to achieve, so kudos for that.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAt 80 minutes the story does not wear out its welcome. Baghead is a definite recommend for anyone hungry for something different from the usual Hollywood fare.”
