"Your past will ALWAYS come back to haunt YOU!"
The Bagman is a 2002 Direct to Video Slasher Movie.
Jack Marshall was a disfigured lad who was horribly bullied by his peers. This all culminated in one of them murdering the boy. It's been 10 years since the incident, and everybody involved has joined up for old times' sake. Naturally, a figure wearing a burlap mask shows up for some revenge.
This film contains examples of:
- Antagonist Title
- Asshole Victim: All of the victims have this, as they were all involved in a murder coverup, but Margaret and Steve (who are borderline criminal pranksters with a love of the "Just Joking" Justification) and Randy (who actually murdered Jack) are the worst.
- Big Bad: Randy Joyner is responsible for the conflict, due to murdering Jack. He was also responsible for the fire that caused Jack's disfigurement.

- Drowning My Sorrows: Henry turned to the bottle after witnessing Jack Marshall's murder.
- Hate Sink: Randy Joyner is a vicious bully who led other kids in attacking Jack Marshall for his deformities. He eventually bears Jack to seeming death and makes his cronies agree to cover it up. A decade later, a Sackhead Slasher shows up to kill everybody involved in the attack, and Randy uses his job as a police officer to destroy all the evidence of his involvement. When Sue Cresswell confronts him about his crime, he only helps her solve it to save his own skin.
