Horror fans, brace yourselves! Bagman, the latest creation from acclaimed director Colm McCarthy, is set to chill audiences to the bone this fall. Known for his work on Outcast and the “Black Museum” episode of Black Mirror, McCarthy returns with a dark tale that dives deep into the folklore of a mythical child-snatcher. The film stars Sam Claflin, known for his compelling roles in The Hunger Games series and Me Before You, alongside Antonia Thomas from The Good Doctor. They are joined by an impressive cast including William Hope, Steven Cree, Frankie Corio, Adelle Leonce, and Henry Pettigrew.
The story revolves around Patrick McKee (Claflin), a man haunted by a terrifying figure from his childhood—the Bagman. This eerie figure is said to abduct innocent children, trapping them in his decaying sack, never to return. As Patrick struggles with the trauma of his past, the Bagman reemerges, threatening his wife Karina (Thomas) and son Jake (Caréll Vincent Rhoden). The narrative promises a gripping exploration of fear and the lengths one will go to protect their loved ones.
Set for release on September 20th, 2024, Bagman is poised to become a must-watch for horror enthusiasts. The trailer offers a tantalizing glimpse of the malevolent creature, complete with a chilling grin that hints at the terror in store. With a screenplay by John Hulme and production by Marty Bowen and John Fischer, the film's pedigree is undeniable.
Whether you're a fan of psychological horror or simply looking for a thrilling night out, Bagman promises to deliver an unforgettable experience. Mark your calendars and prepare to face your fears—because this fall, the Bagman cometh.
