The Big Picture For some reason, if you ever wanted to imagine what would happen if Silence of the Lambs occurred at a Taylor Swift concert, twisty visionary M. Night Shyamalan has you covered. All the promotional material for Shyamalan's upcoming thriller, Trap, is enticing, and the writer-director raised expectations with the Silence crossed with Swift elevator pitch.

Release Date August 2, 2024 Director M. Night Shyamalan Cast Josh Hartnett , Hayley Mills , Marnie McPhail , Ariel Donoghue Main Genre Horror Writers M. Night Shyamalan Studio Blinding Edge Pictures , New Line Cinema Expand M. Night Shyamalan's Comeback Tour Continues with 'Trap' After years of creative follies such as The Happening and The Last Airbender, M. Night Shyamalan has rebuilt his reputation over the last few years.

The Shyamalan renaissance could reach its apex with the release of Trap. The film follows Cooper , an enthusiastic father taking his teenage daughter Riley to an Eras Tour-inspired concert by pop star Lady Raven . Cooper learns that this sold-out show is secretly a police sting operation to, as the title indicates, trap a serial killer known as "The Butcher.

Luring wanted fugitives with the promise of free Super Bowl tickets is perhaps the ultimate American mousetrap. Somehow, despite the plan looking more suitable for a Mission: Impossible set piece, the sting operation went off without a hitch. The fugitives were invited to the convention center and given royal treatment by the U.S. Marshals disguised as emcees, event organizers, mascots, and cheerleaders. When they arrived at the convention center, they were frisked for weapons.
