We're now officially in April and along with the new month are a bunch of new releases. This week specifically delivers almost a dozen notable flicks to watch. Namely, we have the supernatural movie BAGHEAD starring Freya Allan of Witcher-fame, which lands on Shudder this Friday. Next to that is the major theatrical release for THE FIRST OMEN, which is a prequel to the original 1976 film. The rest of this week's releases can be found below.
