The Witcher star Freya Allen learns that talking to the dead comes at a price in the new trailer for supernatural horror feature Baghead. First-time feature director Alberto Corredor directs based on his indie short of the same name, which was written by Lorcan Reilly. The feature screenplay is written by Christina Pamies and Bryce McGuire.

Per the official synopsis by Studiocanal, “After the death of her estranged father, Iris (Freya Allan) learns she has inherited a run-down, centuries-old pub. She travels to Berlin to identify her father’s body and meet with The Solicitor (Ned Dennehy) to discuss the estate. Little does she know, when the deed is signed she will become inextricably tied to an unspeakable entity residing in the pub’s basement. Baghead – a shape-shifting creature that can transform into the dead. Two thousand in cash for two minutes with the creature is all it takes for desperate loved ones to ease their grief. Neil (Jeremy Irvine), who has lost his wife, is Iris’ first customer. Like her father, Iris is tempted to exploit the creature’s powers and help desperate people for a price. But she discovers breaking the two-minute rule can have terrifying consequences. Together with her best friend Katie (Ruby Barker), Iris must battle for control of Baghead & figure out how to destroy her, before she destroys them.”

Ruby Barker, Ned Dennehy, Peter Mullan, Jeremy Irvine, Saffron Burrows and Svenja Jung star opposite Allen.

Baghead will release in cinemas in January 2024, though the exact date has yet to be announced. Watch the trailer below:
