Baghead

Baghead (2008) is a scrappy indie horror-comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Four broke actors drive out to a cabin in the woods, determined to write the script that finally launches their careers. The pitch they land on: a cheap slasher about a killer wearing a paper bag over his head.

Then a figure with a bag over his head actually shows up outside, and nobody can tell if it's a prank, a rival's stunt, or the real thing closing in. Brothers Jay and Mark Duplass shoot it mumblecore-style, all handheld cameras, awkward silences and tangled crushes, where the jealousy between the friends bites harder than any monster. Steve Zissis, Ross Partridge and a young Greta Gerwig carry it years before she became a director in her own right. Good pick for anyone who likes their scares laced with deadpan comedy.
