A Pop Star’s Concert Turns Into A Sinister Setup In Trap Trailer

When a fun dad and daughter night out turns into an elaborate setup to catch a local serial killer, Josh Hartnett’s character is on edge in M. Night Shyamalan’s film Trap.

Trap follows a father and teen daughter as they attend the coolest concert ever for Lady Raven, played by Shyamalan’s real life daughter and R&B artist Saleka. In the trailer, teen Jody is completely immersed into the concert as Hartnett’s character goes off to use the bathroom. Looking around, he notices a heavy police and surveillance presence around the venue. When he asks a worker what’s going on, its reveals that the concert is a trap to find local serial killer known as “The Butcher.”

Finally at the bathroom, Hartnett logs onto a live camera feed from his basement that shows a screaming hostage 一 revealing that he’s the killer the police are after. It ends with Hartnett disassociating from the concert and laughing maniacally to himself. The ensemble cast includes Hayley Mills, Marnie McPhail, Vanessa Smythe, and Karina Grzella. The film is also soundtracked by original music by Saleka as the iconic pop star.

See if this villian will escape when Trap hits theaters August 9 — and take a listen to Lady Raven’s hit song “Release,” here.
