The trailer for Bagman was unveiled by Lionsgate Movies, on Monday. A horror thriller, the film stars Sam Claflin and Antonia Thomas in lead roles and is directed by Colm McCarthy.
The trailer shows Claflin and Thomas as a couple with a young child, who is told the legend of the 'Bagman', a serial killer who lures young children with toys and abducts them in his bag, only to consume them alive. While Claflin initially dismisses it as a legend that is told to frighten children, he starts believing in the murderer, when his child is abducted.
William Hope, Steven Cree, Frankie Corio, Adelle Leonce, Henry Pettigrew, Sharon D Clarke, Neil Linpow, and Caréll Vincent Rhoden round out the cast of Bagman.
The official synopsis of Bagman reads, "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)."
Written by John Hulme, Bagman is all set to hit theatres on September 20.
