?si=_ffAbW5vkvo8PK_E

M Night Shyamalan’s movies are known for their twist endings, something that’s sure to come in his latest film, Trap.

Slated to arrive in theaters on August 2, the second trailer for Trap kicks off with a father and his teenage daughter attending the concert of her favorite pop star along with around 30,000 fellow fans. The thriller is a departure from the remote environments of the director's recent projects, 2021’s island-set Old and 2023’s rural Knock at the Cabin.

The father-serial killer, who goes by “The Butcher,” soon realizes the ordeal was set up by police as a trap to catch him. Amid the chaos of the concert, he finds himself desperate to escape the venue and outrun the 300 cops angling to ensnare him.

Josh Hartnett stars as father Cooper, alongside Ariel Donoghue as his daughter Riley. Shyamalan’s own daughter, Saleka Shyamalan, portrays the pop star Lady Raven. Rounding out the cast are Hayley Mills, Alison Pill, Marnie McPhail and Vanessa Smythe.
