Warner Bros. has released a new trailer for director M. Night Shyamalan’s upcoming thriller Trap, and it offers interesting new insight into the story.

The film stars Josh Hartnett, and the story follows a father and teen daughter who attend a pop concert, “where they realize they’re at the center of a dark and sinister event.”

We learn that the concert is a set up to catch a maniacal serial killer called “The Butcher,” who happens to be Hartnett’s character, the father who took his daughter to the concert.

We learn in this trailer what The Butcher is looking to do once he realizes that the cops have him trapped, and he basically starts to cause chaos within the concept. He says in the trailer that he feels out of control and starts doing some crazy stuff.

I like what I’ve seen from this movie and it looks like Shyamalan has made another good flick! I like the concept, and it’ll be interesting to see how the story plays out.

Shaymlan talked about this movie at CinemaCon, and he hatched the story with his pianist daughter over the course of several years of trying to figure out a sinister story to tell that ties to music.

The movie also stars Ariel Donoghue, Saleka Shyamalan, Hayley Mills and Allison Pill.

Trap will hit theaters on August 9, 2024. Watch the trailer and let us know what you think!
