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.

[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

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

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.

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.

Okay as a horror movie, but nothing more. All the rather scary scenes are very predictable if you have already seen similar films. You always know exactly when the Bagman appears and what will happen. When the film finally starts to tell a halfway decent story towards the end, it got a bit better.
