Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Baghead (2008)

Low-low-low budget movie centering around a group of four non-starters in the entertainment industry spending a weekend at a cabin in the woods with the plan of using their time to write a movie script in which they can star.

Things aren't going so well: there's more curiously boring flirting and jealousy going on than writing. But then "baghead" shows up (yeah, it's just what you're thinking, somebody with a paper bag on their head) and things get weird. Then the group get scared...but I never did.

This movie is nothing more than an idea for a movie tanked by the obvious lack of 1) a full shooting script and 2) improv experience . Seemed like they must've scribbled onto some pages things like "then we joke for five minutes" but no one was very good at it, with the women particularly annoying. Meanders a lot for a less-than 90-minute film.
