Sam Claflin stars in the trailer of new horror Bagman from director Colm McCarthy.
The movie, which is set for an October release, sees Claflin's character Patrick having to deal with the titular creature as it threatens his family.
"The so-called Bagman is a figure common to almost every culture," an unseen narrator says in the clip, which you can see above.

"Curiously, his methodology is remarkably consistent. It is said he eats children, preferring to prey on those that are nice.
"He feeds off the child's fear and anxiety, luring them to his cave with toys or candy. And when the child is at their most terrified, he steals them away in his bag."
What to Read Next
After narrowly escaping the creature in his childhood, Patrick has to resort to his first-hand knowledge to protect his loved ones.
The movie kicks off when the protagonist and his wife Karina (The Good Doctor's Antonia Thomas) move back to his hometown, where he becomes convinced that the Bagman could be targeting their son Jake, played by Caréll Vincent Rhoden.
The cast is rounded out by Outlander's Steven Cree, Eric's William Hope and Aftersun's Frankie Corio.

Fans of Claflin will also be able to catch him in an upcoming World War II drama titled Perdition, set to start production later this year.
The movie features the Hunger Games star as an American soldier who is the sole survivor of a prisoner-of-war camp execution in 1944 in Belgium.
Obi-Wan Kenobi and Asteroid City's Rupert Friend plays opposite Claflin as a ruthless Nazi hunter who is tasked with hunting the protagonist down.
Bagman will be released in October. An exact release date is TBA.
