10 years after a young physically scared boy is murdered by his fellow schoolmates he returns to plot his revenge and get retaliation for the torture that ultimately killed him.
The movie starts out with a group of red sweater wearing school kids chasing after the hidiously burned Jack Marshall through a stretch of woods near a creek. One of the kids, Randy, takes things too far and pulls a bag out of his back pocket, puts it on Jack's face while he's down then drowns him in the creek, pisses on his dead body and floats him off downstream. Right then and there Randy forces his fellow classmates to make a pact that no one will say a word about the murder which they all agree to out of fear of being pushed out of the group.
Jump forward 10 years later and the one girl that was on Jack's side, Sue, is having problems with her boyfriend so she decides to pack up and go home. Well for some odd reason her friends decide to throw an all night horror watching party so they come to her house dressed like the bagman, scare her so bad she faints, kidnap her and take her to the house where the party is. At the same time The Bagman makes his appearance for his first victim, and the fun starts.
 
Now during the movie Sue keeps getting calls from some unknown caller that just sits there quietly on the phone. Well this shit was way overdone, they drew it out for enough time to make it extremely annoying. Aside from that this movie seemed like a huge ripoff of the Friday the 13th movies, pretty much every minute of the movie seemed like a ripoff of something else, like Scream or Urban Legend. It wasn't very well thought up. Say you and a few friends are hanging out telling your favorite horror stories and you decide to wrap them all up and make a movie, well that's The Bagman. In all the only thing great about this movie was Sue's tits, the rest is crap.
If your into crappy cheese horror flicks you might like this but for horror fans I feel you'll see this as another lame ripoff. I personally didn't like it.
