It’s a Trap!

Oh, the sound I just made. M. Night time Shyamalan has been sorta-kinda mounting a comeback for almost a decade now, beginning with 2015’s reduced-funds horror The Take a look at all the way as a result of to final year’s close-of-the-environment-thriller Knock at the Cabin. (Let’s just skip about Glass, all right? It continue to hurts.) As an old Shyamalan-head, I’ve mainly greeted the renaissance with respectable grunts, but there is anything about the premise of his latest, Trap, slated to strike theaters August 9.

Josh Hartnett performs a sizzling dad who’s using his teenage daughter to see a vaguely Rihanna-esque superstar — performed by Shyamalan’s individual offspring Saleka (whose sister Ishana is also hitting theaters this summer time with her individual directorial debut) — when he notices cops massing at the location. By natural means, one miracles: Terrorism? Aliens? A rival celebrity mounting a siege? Not pretty. As Incredibly hot Dad Hartnett learns from a merch-stand worker, the cops hope to capture a serial killer they imagine is attending the live performance. Turns out, Very hot Father Hartnett transpires to have a nanny cam seeing the victim in his basement. Did we ignore this is a Shyamalan flick? Now that’s a twist. Will it be the only just one? Hope not!
