In the dark horror film BAGMAN, a family finds themselves ensnared in a nightmare as they are hunted by a malevolent, mythical creature. For centuries and across cultures, parents have warned their children of the legendary Bagman, who 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, which left him with lasting scars throughout his adulthood. Now, Patrick's childhood tormentor has returned, threatening the safety of his wife Karina (Antonia Thomas) and son Jake (Caréll Vincent Rhoden).

Peter Sobczynski RogerEbert.com The only chance of experiencing any actual chills is if you doze off and generate a more interesting nightmare of your own. Rated: 1/4 Sep 27, 2024 Full Review Miguel Calabria EscribiendoCine [Bagman is] a film that works because of its simplicity, that skillfully builds tension and that, in a genre saturated with repetitive formulas, manages to stand out just enough to not go unnoticed. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 6/10 Jan 13, 2025 Full Review Jeffrey M. Anderson Common Sense Media This horror movie is competently made, but it's also deadly dull, as if on autopilot, gathering up a collection of clichés and laying them out in a predictable order. Rated: 1/5 Dec 25, 2024 Full Review Rebecca Johnson Film Focus Online Despite boasting a talented cast and an interesting if generic central premise, Bagman fails to entertain due to its lack of scares, poorly written characters and meandering story. Rated: 1.5/5 Oct 29, 2024 Full Review Whang Yee Ling The Straits Times (Singapore) This forgettable fright flick would embarrass the namesake monster. Rated: 2/5 Oct 21, 2024 Full Review Casey Chong Casey's Movie Mania A plodding and unimaginative horror that belongs in a bag. Rated: 1/5 Sep 30, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Angela Good directing with a poorly told story, could’ve been executed better maybe with more time Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/02/24 Full Review Donna C This movie was just ok. Nothing special. I could take it or leave it. It kept my attention a tad bit, but it was not what I expected. When it was over, I was like,Is this it? Was overall just a weird movie in my opinion. The little boy was sweet and I didnt mind the parents acting. They just did some stupid stuff when it came to parenting. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/30/24 Full Review Color Awesome movie, very suspenseful! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/28/24 Full Review Nate Slow and uneventful movie. Far from scary. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/27/24 Full Review Audience Member WOFÜR IST BITTE DER ZAUN GUT? Das letzte was du hörst ist der Reißverschluss der zu geht (klingt irgendwie falsch, aber so ist er Film). Patrick und Karina fühlen sich in ihrem neuen zu Hause zunehmend unsicherer und als sie merken das etwas hinter ihrem Sohn her ist ziehen sie von einem Verwandten zum nächsten, doch der Bagman kennt keine Grenzen. Bagman geht ca. 90 Minuten und ist ab 16 Jahren freigegeben. Wir haben hier einen Horror-Thriller der dermaßen langweilig, stumpfsinnig und vorallem unlogisch inszeniert ist das man echt nur einschlafen könnte. Was ich aber nicht bin, weil mich sämtliche Unlogischkeiten bei Laune hielten. Der Bagman schnappt sich jeden von dem er eine Locke abschneidet, trotzdem heißt er nicht Cutman sondern Bagman weil wir sind ja hier nicht bei Mega Man, falls den noch jemand kennt. In seiner Kindheit erfuhr Patrick von seinem Vater die Legende vom Bagman, wie durch ein Wunder stellt sich diese dann als wahr heraus. Ein jeder der den Bagman aufhalten will spuckt Frischkäse, er kann zu dem Türschlösser öffnen und das Licht funktioniert nicht mehr, weswegen er wahrscheinlich soviele Kerzen in seiner Höhle hat. Hier gibt es keine Spannung, Stimmung kommt nur auf wenn man sich fragt wieso die Mutter mit dem Rücken zu ihrem Kind sitzen muss damit es in den Wald rennt und wozu überhaupt der Zaun da ist wenn so jeder in oder aus dem Wald zum Haus gehen kann und noch vieles mehr. Das Finale krönt das ganze mit absurden Effekten, schwachen Dialogen und einem Monster das nen Boogyman für arme ist. Am Ende bleibt ein langweiliger und zu keinem Zeitpunkt grusliger Streifen, der so viele Fehler hat damit alles so passiert wie es passiert das man nur mit dem Kopfschütteln kann. Von mir bekommt der Film 3/10 Punkten. Eigentlich erinnert mich dieser Bagman mit seiner Reißverschluss Nummer eher an etwas anderes grusliges. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 05/12/25 Full Review SpiderGold K I really liked the movie, I think maybe the child was afraid of his elevator but the introduction to scares I like, but I consider it more a suspense movie than a horror movie.
