Baghead Star Freya Allan Opens Up About Horror Roles and A24 Dreams 🎬

Following the death of her estranged father, Iris learns she has inherited a run-down, centuries-old pub. She travels to Berlin to identify her father’s body and then discuss the estate. Little does she know, when the deed is signed she will become inextricably tied to an unspeakable entity that resides 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, 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 soon discovers breaking the two-minute rule can have terrifying consequences. Together with her best friend Katie, Iris must battle to keep control of Baghead and figure out how to destroy her, before she destroys them.

Set to terrify audiences in theatres this week, BAGHEAD is a new horrific creation, born from the mind of filmmaker Alberto Corredor, and starring Freya Allan, best known to audiences as Ciri from the Netflix hit series, 'The Witcher', as Iris. Talking to our own Peter Gray ahead of the release, the starlet touched on the unexpected challenges she faced in making a genre film, if she would be tempted by the character’s offer to talk to the dead, and what she would like to explore next in her career.
