[[Peter Bradshaw]] in ''[[The Guardian]]'' gave the film two stars out of five and said it has "some interesting touches" but felt it could be too easily compared in plot to the Australian 2022 film ''[[Talk to Me (2022 film)|Talk to Me]]''.<ref>{{cite web|title=Baghead review – ancient face-covered demon emerges from creepy pub’s basement|publisher=[[The Guardian]]|url=https://amp.theguardian.com/film/2024/jan/24/baghead-review-ancient-face-covered-demon-emerges-from-creepy-pubs-basement}}</ref>

Bradshaw noted that "the original setting has been uncomfortably and bafflingly transplanted to Berlin [...] without ever really explaining why and how a Scottish bloke (Mullan) came to own this “pub” in Berlin with its English name, The Queen’s Head. This creates a layer of clunky inauthenticity which scuppers it almost entirely." Similarly, Anton Bitel of [[Sight and Sound]] remarked "Baghead comes with a suitably intangible setting: an eerily depopulated, gothically lit, once divided Berlin where almost no one speaks German."<ref>{{cite web|title=Baghead: a trickster witch communes with the dead from a pub in Alberto Corredor’s assured horror|publisher=Sight and Sound|url=https://www.bfi.org.uk/sight-and-sound/reviews/baghead-trickster-witch-communes-with-dead-from-pub-alberto-corredors-assured-horror#:~:text=With%20transgression%20%E2%80%93%20the%20crossing%20of,stylistic%20addition%20to%20the%20film's}}</ref>
