"Trap" Film Thoughts

 



Language: English
2024
Running time: 1hr 45min
From IMDb:
A father and his teen daughter attend a pop concert only to realize they've entered the center of a dark and sinister event.



Quote:
Cooper:  "I think you're looking for me."

Thoughts:
I was telling a friend of mine that this reminded me of Mark Wahlberg in 'Fear'.  Josh Harnett' is creepy as the close-up camera shots help to invoke it.  

The trailer is exactly as it is, you are watching and wondering if Cooper will get out of the trap set for him, if so, what will it look like.  There was also this vibe/feel that made me think about the world of M, Night Shyamalan's interconnected films- Unbreakable/Split/Glass and how this could fit as part of them.  There is a slight twist at the end, I feel, when it comes to the trap, a sort of double entendre.

It's a Shyamalan film and if you're a fan of him it's worth the watch for the eventual epic film he'll make one day with easter eggs galore showcasing his cinematography and storytelling.
