Holy shit.

How is this movie not getting more heat? HOW does it have a metacritic score of only 63? WHY did Roger Ebert, a dude whose corner I am largely in, decide to so thoroughly and completely drop the ball with his bullshit review of a film this exciting and worthy of every kind of praise (in the review itself he actually made comments that definitively showed he didn't watch the whole movie)


I could rave about this thing for ten epic paragraphs, bros. It was unbelievable. I don't think I've ever, like ever, been that positively surprised by a movie. The charm and personality of the characters, the reality in the way they interact...and oh yeah, the suspense and scariness is also way up there. It was brilliant! It was damn-near unimpeachable. I mean, on paper they're exploiting a lot of tropes of the genre (group of friends goes to a cabin for a weekend to [whatever] and things go AWRY), but the execution...the characterization. The-

Watch. This. Movie. I can't say much more about any of it without endangering your enjoyment. The best way to describe it: The Office meets four-friends-in-a-cabin horror film. Yes, it's really as good as that sounds. It is funny in an effortless, real-life, organic kind of way. It is also gripping plot-wise and scary/unsettling. Whatever, just fuckin get to your whatever-it-is and obtain the shit and watch it and then go pick me up some GROWNOLA BARZ DOGG PEACE

You're right! I saw a trailer for Baghead almost a year ago and was anxiously awaiting the premiere...then there was no P&A whatsoever and I forgot about it. Thanks for reminding me, but where was everyone else on this one??

I rented it on a whim, and I thought it was pretty mediocre. It was good for being a movie shot on a $1000 budget, but other than that, it was nothing special.
