M. Night Shyamalan, known for his twist-laden narratives and suspenseful storytelling, appears to be channeling Alfred Hitchcock and “The Twilight Zone” in his latest cinematic venture, Trap. Following his recent films, Old and Knock at the Cabin, Shyamalan continues to explore intense, unsettling themes. The new thriller, which casts Josh Hartnett in a pivotal role, is poised to captivate audiences with its intriguing premise and visual appeal.
In Trap, Hartnett stars alongside Saleka Shyamalan, M. Night Shyamalan’s daughter, portraying a father-daughter duo caught in an unexpected crisis. The plot thickens when they discover that the concert they are attending is actually a police sting operation designed to capture a criminal mastermind. This setup promises a blend of suspense, drama, and potentially, the supernatural elements Shyamalan is famous for.
One of the standout features of Trap is its cinematography, handled by Sayombhu Mukdeeprom. Known for his work with notable directors like Apichatpong Weerasethakul and Luca Guadagnino, Mukdeeprom brings a visually stunning aesthetic to the film that should not be missed.
For those eager to avoid spoilers, it might be wise to steer clear of the trailer. However, for fans of Shyamalan’s work and cinephiles interested in a visually compelling narrative, the trailer offers a tantalizing glimpse of what could be another memorable addition to the director’s filmography.
SPOILER ALERT - FINAL WARNING
Trap is set to release on August 9, marking another potentially significant entry in Shyamalan’s body of work. The film’s unique setting and intriguing plot, coupled with Hartnett’s lead performance, are likely to draw both Shyamalan enthusiasts and new viewers alike.
