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]

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.

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.

Slow and uneventful movie. Far from scary.

The movie is just an hour and a half, yet for some reason, there's a clip show at the end, showing you everything that happened, in case you're too slow to put 2 and 2 together. Also, with everything going on, how could they possibly not sleep in the same room as the kid. Other than that, the movie is fine (just fine)
