About Bagman
Bagman unfolds as a modern dread story rooted in old legends. A hulking figure rumored to snatch children and vanish with them in a tattered bag haunts generations, and the fear it leaves behind travels through families. Patrick McKee barely escaped the creature in his youth, an escape that etched scars and habits into his adult life. Now the same nightmare appears to threaten the life he has built with Karina and their son Jake. The menace tests Patrick's resolve, forcing him to confront the shadows of his past while protecting those he loves. The film crafts a lean, taut atmosphere, letting fear emerge from everyday moments. Its tension is built on quiet, suggestive moments rather than all out shocks.
Directed by Colm McCarthy, Bagman hails from an original concept by John Hulme and lands in the horror thriller fold with a focus on parental fear and folklore inspired tension. The production leans into claustrophobic sound design and practical effects.
