You’ve heard of Candyman. You’ve heard of Batman. You’ve heard of Bicentennial Man (actually, maybe not that one!). But did you ever hear of Bagman? A child-snatching nightmare figure from Latin American, Eastern European, Asian, and African folklore, the Bagman — or Sack Man, as he’s sometimes known — is a Pennywise-like force of evil who takes innocent kids and stuffs them, well, in his bag. And he’s the central figure looming over The Girl With All The Gifts director Colm McCarthy and writer John Hulme’s aptly titled folk chiller Bagman, which is set to see Sam Claflin, Antonia Thomas (The Good Doctor), and Aftersun breakout star Frankie Corio among others come face to face with the eldritch terror. Watch the creepy first trailer below:
