The Bagman

We bought this film from a shop called Poundland. We were looking for more inspiration as we have previously bought the film No Big Deal an remade it.

We expected this film to be badly inspirational so that we might remake it and put it on the tube. HOWEVER, this was shocking. BORING is the main word that comes to mind. The bad effects and script aren't enough to make you watch it. The main woman's body seems to be whipped out at opportune moments in a pathetic attempt to keep the viewer interested. However, it just makes you wonder, did they blow the budget getting her to take her clothes off? If so, I'd have asked for a refund! It looks like a homemade film, the shots don't even correspond with each other and the camera work is so amateur it makes our remakes of bad movies look professional. I CANNOT believe that this is being sold as a marketable product.

IT IS JUST BORING and UGLY to watch. The actors are bad and there is no degree of professionalism about it. There are no words to describe how terrible it is.

Ladies and Gentlemen, i just finished watching the great erotic horror movie The Bagman. It has your typical boy gets picked on boy gets revenge plot, but with an unbelivable twist. Was the boy who was picked on as a kid the real killer? Or was it just some evil plot to destroy a group of friends with no way of knowing who the real killer is? You will find out in this fast paced low budget movie. Acting was not to supurb and the movie was cheesy (naturally), but it is what it is a great B movie horror. Oh yeah and Stephanie Beaton is naked. GREAT. Later all you B movie buffs, until next time.

If this is a first film, it should definitely be a last film. "Teenagers" that were in their 30's, bad wigs, school uniforms?, laughable acting, "see spot run" dialogue. It doesn't even make it to the, it's so bad it's funny stage. Couldn't get past the 15 minute mark. Just say no.

This film is the freshman effort of Stephanie Beaton and her new production company. While it suffers from a few problems, as every low budget production does, it is a good start for Ms. Beaton and her company.

The story is not terribly new having been done in films like The Burning and every Friday the 13th since part 2. But, the performances are heartfelt. So many big budget movies just have the actors going through the motions, its always nice to see actors really trying to hone their craft.

The story deals with the murder(and possible return) of a disfigured classmate. The others are sworn to secrecy, but the trauma of the event sends each person in different directions in their lifes. Ten years later, the friends are murdered one by one by a gruesome stalker known as "The Bagman". Who will survive? You have to watch.

If you are Roger Ebert or any number of arrogant critics, you probably shouldn't bother. But if your taste run more towards Joe Bob Briggs and you want to see a group of people honing their craft, then check out "The Bagman".

I'm just a big fan of Stephanie Beaton and I try and get every movie of hers that I can! This is naturally a cheese flick, with the sometimes over-exposed Stephanie. But I think we all like her like that. And it also has an overweight guy with a burlap bag on his head. And some really great actors that are going on to better things one day. But I hope not, because we need people like this to keep the b-movie industry going! Sit down with a bowl of popcorn and watch Stephanie get naked!
