Baghead (M, 95 minutes)
After the death of her estranged father (Peter Mullan), Iris (Freya Allan) finds out she has inherited a run-down, centuries-old pub, The Queen's Head. An unmentioned part of the deal is Baghead, a shape-shifting creature that lives in the pub's basement.
Baghead can transform into the dead and two thousand in cash for two minutes with the creature is all it takes for desperate loved ones to ease their grief. It sounds like a nice little earner, but, as usual with these too-good-to-be-true scenarios, there's a catch. Iris soon discovers breaking the two-minute rule can have terrifying consequences. She and her best friend Katie (Ruby Barker) must figure out how to destroy Baghead before she destroys them.
