This fall, prepare to be terrified. Lionsgate has just unleashed the fright-filled film Bagman in theaters. The film explores folklore, parental fear, and the lengths a father will go to protect his family. It is a heart-pounding horror that blurs the lines between folklore and reality as the creature’s shadow looms larger.
In this horror film, a family is ensnared in a nightmare as a malevolent creature hunts them. For centuries and across cultures, parents have warned their children of the legendary Bagman. It snatches innocent children and stuffs them into his vile, rotting bag—never to be seen again. Patrick McKee (Sam Claflin) narrowly escaped such an encounter as a boy, leaving him with lasting trauma and nightmares throughout his childhood and into adulthood. Now, Patrick’s childhood tormentor has returned. It threatens the safety of his wife Karina (Antonia Thomas) and son Jake (Caréll Vincent Rhoden).
From the people behind The Strangers: Chapter 1, Bagman is directed by Colm McCarthy and written by John Hulme.
