Horror movie fans have told filmmakers to bust out Urban Dictionary after some eagle-eyed viewers pointed out the double meaning for a new movie set to hit cinemas next year.
Film studio StudioCanal has been teasing a new film throughout December, with a specific thriller and horror tone. And while the film is not being released at Halloween, the movie is set to get pulses racing and leave viewers on tenterhooks with suspense.
One trailer has already been released for the movie, directed by Spanish director Alberto Corredor. A second trailer for the film, which is the second in its series, is set to be released on Wednesday (December 11).

The film, titled Baghead, stars up and coming acting stars Freya Allan, Peter Mullan and Saffron Burrows. The premise of the movie surrounds a young woman who inherits a pub, but discovers a terrifying secret within its basement as Baghead, a shape-shifting creature, is released.
Baghead's producers already have quite the calibre of well-loved horror films. Those working on the movie have also made their mark on the likes of IT and the Barbarian.
But whilst the poster may look particularly frightening as it entices those who are not faint-hearted, some fans have seen the more funny side of the movie's name. Taking to social media, one user reposted the official poster for the film and wrote: "Probably should have run this one past Urban Dictionary, lads."
Fellow horror fans soon joined in the debate, with many being unsure whether the poorly-named film was deliberate. A second commenter said: "It's a British film, so might be intentional - but in pretty poor taste?"
Whilst a third person speculated: "The fact that it's getting so much publicity on socials suggests they knew what they were doing." With a fourth looking on in awe: "Blimey, do they not realise? Shall we tell them?"
Fortunately for StudioCanal, the Daily Star took the liberty to search for the term on Urban Dictionary. The most popular definition of the word "baghead" says: "Another word for a person, who is on smack - they are addicted to drugs."
Other definitions for the word include: "Dirty, no teeth; will sell your own a**e for a bag of smack; a drug addict." The film itself has not been given a release date in the UK as yet, but is expected to hit theatres in the new year.
