The Bagman had an intriguing premise but left a lot of questions unanswered, especially when it came to the characters' decisions. One of the most perplexing choices was leaving the child alone while all the horror unfolded. It felt illogical, given that the adults were clearly aware of the danger and opted to sleep together for safety. Why would they separate the most vulnerable person? This inconsistency really pulled me out of the experience and made it hard to connect with the characters' survival instincts.
That said, the movie did have its moments. The atmosphere was chilling, and there were a few genuinely unsettling scenes that kept me on edge. However, it often felt like the pacing was off, with long stretches of buildup that didn't always pay off.
Despite these issues, I'm actually interested in the sequel. The film has laid down some groundwork that could go in a great direction. If the sequel addresses the characters' decisions better and tightens up the storytelling, it could deliver on the promise that the first film hinted at. There's potential here, and I'm curious to see how it develops.

Apparently, Leaving the Child Alone Is Just Good Parenting in Horror Movies
Basic but worth it!
It was a bit confusing and odd at the beginning but towards the end the story kept developing and I ended up loving how they connected everything.
The main character childhood trauma was being shown and what I love was that we as viewers didn't knew if the scary scenes were made by imaginations or were actually happening.
Was not a fan of the acting but they did carry the show well enough to really keep the audience stay interested.
Overall it's a basic but interesting story and definitely worth watching once.
I think it was a unique concept and showed childhood trauma well.
Some scenes were random and written weakly but they did make sense and did contribute to the overall storyline.
