“No matter where you try to run and hide, he always knows where to find you,” Sam Claflin says in Lionsgate’s chilling trailer for Bagman.

The titular Bagman is an evil creature that snatches children, stuffs them into his bag, and eats them. The Bagman allegedly prefers to prey on “nice” children by luring them into his cave with toys and feeding off their fear and anxiety. Once the Bagman secures a child in his bag, they are never to be seen again.

In the trailer, Patrick McKee (Claflin) tries to play it off like the Bagman isn’t real, saying his father used to tell him and his brother that story to keep them in line. Deep down, Patrick knows the Bagman exists because he escaped the creature’s clutch as a young boy. Now, an adult Patrick must face his childhood nightmare when the Bagman returns, setting his sights on his wife Karina (Antonia Thomas) and son Jake (Caréll Vincent Rhoden).

Bagman also stars Frankie Corio, Sharon D. Clarke, Steven Cree, William Hope, Adelle Leonce, Peter McDonald, Henry Pettigrew, Caréll Rhoden, and Will Davis.
