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).

The only chance of experiencing any actual chills is if you doze off and generate a more interesting nightmare of your own.

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

This forgettable fright flick would embarrass the namesake monster.

A plodding and unimaginative horror that belongs in a bag.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if this movie wanted to cram itself into a bag and disappear.

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.

I don't know what I just watch, but I am very confused. After a great opening this movie took a nosedive which leads you to more questions than answers. The premise and monster-design are great but the makers of this movie didn't took advantage of both. Instead of what we got promised in the trailers (a monster who kidnaps children and the main protagonist fights it to save the children it abducted) we've got a very confusing story (If I could call it so) about a man who just wants to save his child from it and has a type of connection with Bagman, since his childhood. That would've made any sense if the movie showed how MC discovered and escaped BM and how he abducts children from people the MC knew (either as friends who were close to mc's family, his family members or even both) and later wants to kidnap MC's child just to capture him.

Save your time and money. Casting and writing are dull, typical , slow paced as they drag the film out with boring dialog. The Opening scene on the sofa and at the house sets the tone of the film with expositional writing. I quickly lost interest and attention.
