Baghead is a 2008 comedy horror film written and directed by Jay Duplass and Mark Duplass. The film stars Ross Partridge, Elise Muller, Greta Gerwig, and Steve Zissis. The film had its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival on January 22, 2008. The film was released in a limited release on July 13, 2008, by Sony Pictures Classics.
Four actors, Matt (Ross Partridge), Catherine (Elise Muller), Michelle (Greta Gerwig), and Chad (Steve Zissis) attend an art festival and watch a low-budget movie directed by Jett (Jett Garner). After the showing, Jett explains to them that he kept the budget so low by not telling his actors they were in a movie until the final piece was ready. The group then goes to an after party, however Matt is unable to gain entry into the club after not wanting to appear desperate and ask his old friend Jeff to get him in. The four actors go to a different bar, where they decide to go to Chad's isolated cabin in the woods to write their own movie to star in; fed up of only being cast as extras.
After arriving at the cabin, Michelle gets drunk and decides to go to bed where Chad hits on her, however she rejects his advances and tells him he is like a brother. Later, Michelle rushes outside of the cabin to vomit where she encounters a man with a bag over his head. The next morning Michelle believes this to have been a dream and decides to tell the others in the hopes of creating a horror movie based around the character 'baghead'. At night, the group gathers to brainstorm ideas. Michelle writes several notes to Matt to meet her in her room, before she goes to bed. While in her room, a figure wearing a bag over their head enters. At first, Michelle believes it to be Matt, however she becomes increasingly uncomfortable before the figure eventually leaves. Upset, Michelle confronts Matt who denies it was him, leading the pair to believe it was Catherine trying to scare Michelle because she is jealous of her connection with Matt. Catherine also denies the accusations and angrily leaves the cabin to smoke a cigarette, while Matt convinces Michelle to stay at the cabin.
