Le Bagman. Profession: Meurtrier

I saw a screening of this at Rock and Shock. It has subtitles, and is in French, but it's okay, you don't really need to read what they are saying to understand what is going on, but some of the stuff they say is funny. The film includes an excessive amount of gore, and though not the best, the special effects are pretty decent. This film includes more gore in 20 minutes than most films have in 90 minutes! I mean, the whole film is basically gore. It is about a killer with a bag over his head, ironically named Bagman, and if you say his name three times he comes and kills you, and in awesome gory ways. When a woman runs into some punk gangstas they say Bagman three times and try to battle the ferocious bagman! It's awesome, if you ever get the chance see it!

This Short film has to be one of the best ones I've ever seen. It is a bloody masterpiece that once your through with it, you will be confused and happy. It is just so out there and awesome because I'm not sure if its trying to be serious or not. Either way it is frickin hilarious and has to be the most violent movie that I've ever seen. It will make you cringe but at the same time, you will be laughing your arse off. The bagman is just so B.A. and just is the coolest pycho murderer I've seen in a movie. Just take my advice, watch this movie. It doesn't make any sense, but there's a reason it has an 8.9.

OK first of all this movie is SUPPOSE TO BE BAD and it never takes itself too seriously. It's fast movie and you'll get a lot of blood, guts, gore, slashing and bashing right from the start. The night I wanted to watch this movie with my friends I didn't expect too much from it. No, seriously. Title and cover looked very bad so I thought it will be just "another zero budget SBiG movie". I was wrong. Dead wrong. Yes, this movie had $0 budget but gore, blood and satirical parts of it will make you laugh and love this little movie which is 19 minutes long.

I won't say anything more, but if you can get copy of this make sure you watch it. It's like a slasher version of Bad Taste with even lower budget.

Basically, this girl is on the run from a killer named the Bagman, who appears when you say his name three times, and is run over by a group of wannabe gang-bangers. After the gang-bangers mock the woman and say his name three times, the Bagman appears and a bloody, gory war ensues.

This movie, while only 19 minutes long, is incredibly gory, almost Dead Alive level gory. All of it is prosthetic (as far as I can tell) and looks very good, it's creative, and all of it has a very over-the-top and slapstick tone. Like the girl who keeps getting hit on the head, or the guy who gets thrown into a trash can by the Bagman and then spends the rest of the movie stumbling around with the trash can over his head, and slips on a severed head. I found myself laughing several times throughout, not just at the slapstick, but the gang-banger characters. Listening to these guys talk "gangsta" was hilarious, especially the Boss, who was my favorite character of the entire movie (with the exception of the Bagman himself of coarse).

I can be a little generous with my ratings sometimes, but I don't give a 10 to just any movie. This one deserves it, it's comic genius and incredibly gory. Well worth my time.

Brilliantly funny. The terrible SFX (no doubt planned so) remind me of The Toxic Avenger (you know the first one, which was good). The scenes of utter depravity and violence (especially the useless gang guy who gets all kind of mutilations visited upon his body before getting killed), were just hilarious. This makes me wonder when we'll get to see a full length version. It was certainly better than garbage like Hostel, Saw or Cabin Fever, all movies that took themselves way too seriously. I'm hoping that we'll see a sequel to Bagman. He was like Leon the Professional, only fifty times more violent. A really dark and funny piece of work that I applaud. Vive Le Bagman!
