Screengrab Exclusive: "Baghead" Clip

Posted by Scott Von Doviak

Mark and Jay Duplass, the duo behind the seminal mumblecore feature The Puffy Chair, are back with what has been most often described as "the mumblecore horror movie." That's a fun marketing hook, but you shouldn't expect Baghead to be a nerve-jangling exercise in terror ala The Strangers, even if both movies feature menacing figures with bags on their heads. At once a self-reflexive send-up of the lo-fi movement they helped launch and a sly love quadrangle, Baghead is more funny than scary, although some of the relationship issues it explores may give you the heebie-jeebies. The set-up is simple: four struggling actors hole up in a cabin in the woods for a weekend, planning to write a movie for all of them to star in. In this exclusive clip, available only on the Screengrab, a brainstorming session turns into an awkward attempt at seduction.
