Shot on a handheld camera with unknown actors and a miniscule budget, the film is a spoof of campy ’70s and ’80s horror down to the tongue and cheek logline: When four out of work actors head off into the woods to write the next great American screenplay, they soon realize their story about a murderous villain with a bag over his head is more fact than fiction.
After viewing Baghead, it’s shameful to even compare the brothers to the Academy Award-winning writer/director team of No Country for Old Men. Jay and Mark Duplass are a creation all their own.
Grade: B+
Baghead releases in select theaters July 25.
