BAGMAN Profession: Meurtrier

2004 ·19m · ★ 6.4 (26)

Bagman, a killer with a paper bag on the head, kills anybody who pronounces his name three times. When a gang of gangsters meets a girl who escaped the killer, they call Bagman and a violent battle ensues.

Why it matters

A gritty, grindhouse-inflected slasher where urban crime noir crashes headlong into supernatural vengeance.

  • Bagman’s paper bag mask is a low-fi icon of menace, a practical effects triumph in minimalist costume design.
  • Mixes gangster tropes with brutal kill sequences—a crossover for fans of both crime thrillers and slasher carnage.
  • Relentless, raw violence that leans into grindhouse’s murky, underground energy rather than polish or subtlety.
  • Not for the faint-hearted or those seeking narrative finesse, but a cult curiosity for lovers of brutal, no-frills 2000s indie horror.
