First trailer for The Witcher star Freya Allan’s new horror movie
The Witcher's Freya Allan is starring in upcoming psychological horror Baghead, which has just debuted a first trailer.
Allan, known for the role of Princess Ciri in Netflix's fantasy hit show, plays grief-stricken protagonist Iris. After the death of her father (Peter Mullan), the young woman inherits a run-down pub that includes a supernatural surprise in the basement.
The pub is home to the titular creature, Baghead, a shapeshifting entity that has the power to channel the spirits of the dead.

In the trailer, Iris finds a tape in which her father warns her against letting Baghead out of the basement, not to unleash the creature's power onto the world of the living.
There are a million things that could go wrong, particularly as, much like this year's horror sensation Talk To Me, Baghead's gift, too, comes with certain conditions. If the shapeshifter channels a lost loved one for more than two minutes, then it'll be in control.
In the clip, Iris is accompanied by a trusted friend, played by Bridgerton's Ruby Barker, while War Horse's Jeremy Irvine plays a man desperate to see his late wife again. The cast is rounded out by You's Saffron Burrows, Good Omens' Ned Dennehy, The Empress's Svenja Jung, and Dark's Julika Jenkins.

Directed by Alberto Corredor, Baghead is produced by the team behind It and Barbarian and is an adaptation of a short film of the same name. The movie is yet to confirm a release date but is expected to hit cinemas in the UK and Ireland in 2024.
Meanwhile, Allan is set to return in a fourth instalment of The Witcher, as well as lead the new chapter in the Planet of the Apes franchise.
