	Media	Author	Review
		Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"Few of the ensuing jump scares will surprise you (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		Sam Haysom Mashable	"Despite the lack of tension, 'Baghead' does still manage an effective jump scare or two. Corredor's direction is solid, utilising a few unexpected tricks to keep us on our toes and making the most of the material at hand"
		Wendy Ide The Guardian	"A quagmire of a plot spoils this story of a woman who inherits a pub with a supernatural squatter (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		Billie Walker Dread Central	"If it wasn’t for the gothic pub setting, the lack of real fear would have viewers unsure they’re watching a horror (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		Kevin Maher The Times	"The performances are dreadful, the dialogue is worse and the concept was imagined with infinitely superior aplomb by the Australian directorial twins Danny and Michael Philippou in last summer’s wickedly inventive 'Talk to Me' (...) Rating: ★ (out of 5)"
		David Hughes Time Out	"A thing with a burlap sack on its head may not sound scary (...) Like those horror icons, this sack-faced ghoul deserves another outing (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Paul Le Bloody Disgusting	"Although it boasts several decent plot twists toward the end, 'Baghead' still doesn’t go quite as far with its premise as it could have (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 5)"
		Noah Berlatsky Chicago Reader	"Excessive exposition ruins the solid premise of this horror film"
		Brian Farvour The Playlist	"[It] cannot grapple with bigger questions; instead, it is mostly just satisfied with cheap jump scares that don’t provide any value or comfort to those who have suffered loss"
		Chase Hutchinson Collider	"There are masterful works of horror that have proven less can be more. Despite some of its promise, Baghead is not one of them"
