Lionsgate has released the first official trailer for Colm McCarthy‘s (The Girl With All the Gifts, “Peaky Blinders”) unsettling and mysterious mythological chiller, Bagman.
Directed by McCarthy, from a script penned by John Hulme, this chilling new horror film delves into the terrifying realm of urban legends.
For centuries, across a vast array of cultures, parents have instilled a deep sense of fear in their children by warning them of the legendary Bagman – a malevolent, otherworldly entity that stalks the shadows, snatching up innocent young victims and trapping them in his vile, rotting bag – never to be seen or heard from again. Patrick McKee (Sam Claflin – The Quiet Ones, “Peaky Blinders”) narrowly escaped such an encounter as a boy, which left him with lasting scars throughout his adulthood. Now, the monstrous, mythical being that once tormented Patrick has returned, threatening the safety and well-being of his wife, Karina (Antonia Thomas – “The Good Doctor”), and their young son, Jake (Caréll Rhoden).
Co-starring alongside Claflin, Thomas, and Rhoden are, Sharon D Clarke (“Holby City”, Rocketman), Steven Cree (“Outlander”, Terminator: Dark Fate), William Hope (Aliens, Texas Chainsaw Massacre [2022]), Adelle Leonce (“Fool Me Once”, ), Peter McDonald, Henry Pettigrew (“Guilt”, “Payback”), and Will Davis.
Lionsgate presents Bagman, in association with Media Capital Technologies, a Temple Hill production with the film slated to release exclusively in theaters this coming September 20, 2024.
