Trap

During a night out at a bustling pop concert, a father named Cooper and his teenage daughter Riley seek a simple shared moment away from daily stress. What begins as a routine outing quickly shifts as unease threads through the crowd, and the arena itself seems to close in. Subtle signs hint that their presence is tied to something dangerous unfolding around them. The two must trust each other as alarms rise and security becomes a maze of locked doors, shifting lights, and whispered warnings. The danger grows not from a single villain but from the way the spectacle itself can be weaponized, turning fans into participants in a chilling game. Cooper fights to protect Riley.

Trap is directed by M. Night Shyamalan, released in 2024 as part of his thriller catalog. The narrative centers on an original script by Shyamalan, with Josh Hartnett, Ariel Donoghue, Saleka Night Shyamalan, Alison Pill, and Hayley Mills leading the cast. That ensemble sustains the lean pacing with crisp dialogue and uneasy silences.
