Ending Explained: Baghead

💡 What does the ending really mean?

Iris storms the pub basement for a savage showdown with the faceless witch inside the bag. After a vicious brawl that shreds both body and mind, she decapitates the creature, yanks off the sack, and stares at her own face staring back. The hag was never an outsider; it’s an ancient parasitic curse that jumps hosts through violence. Symbolically the ending is merciless: darkness cannot be slain, only inherited. Iris becomes the new Baghead, damned to perpetuate the slaughter. The real horror is realizing you inevitably turn into what you fight, and the cycle grinds on forever.
