Plot

[edit]

Cooper Adams, taking his teenage daughter Riley to pop star Lady Raven's concert as a reward for her good grades, notices the unusually high police presence around the concert venue. He learns from a vendor named Jamie that the FBI plans to catch a serial killer known as "the Butcher" at the venue with knowledge that the Butcher is in attendance. Cooper is revealed to be the Butcher himself, secretly checking footage on his phone of his latest captive victim, Spencer, in a basement. He steals Jamie's ID card and learns the pass phrase that will identify him as an employee, using the card to gain access to a back room and steal a radio.

Hearing a woman predicting his movements over the radio, Cooper sets off an explosion in a food stand's kitchen and uses the chaos to access the roof, where he learns from a police officer that the manhunt is led by Dr. Josephine Grant, an FBI profiler. Confused by Cooper's behavior, Riley asks him to stay with her. She talks about being chosen as Lady Raven's "Dreamer Girl", who gets to dance on stage with the singer and also gets backstage access, which Cooper believes has the only exit that isn't covered by the police. Cooper lies to Lady Raven's uncle that Riley recently recovered from leukemia, getting her selected to be the "Dreamer Girl".

However, after the concert ends, Cooper learns that police are also guarding the backstage exit. He privately reveals himself as the Butcher to Lady Raven, threatening to remotely kill Spencer if she does not escort him and Riley out in her limousine. She complies but asks to come to Riley's house. There, Lady Raven stalls for time by explaining the FBI operation to the family, unsettling Cooper by describing Grant's profile of him as someone with maternal issues. She also explains that the police found out about the Butcher's attendance at the concert via a torn ticket receipt left in a vacant house that was reported anonymously.

Lady Raven manages to steal Cooper's phone and locks herself in the bathroom where she gets details from Spencer about where he was taken and livestreams it to her fans, one of whom is able to find and rescue him. She outs Cooper to his wife, Rachel, and he locks his family upstairs while Lady Raven is able to call her driver and get him to contact the police. Cooper attempts to drive off with Lady Raven, but Cooper's family distract him long enough for her to escape.

The police arrive and Cooper escapes through a secret tunnel before disguising himself using a replica SWAT uniform. He stops the limousine, shoots the driver and tries to drive off. Lady Raven unlocks the window and draws a mob of fans to stop him so the FBI can catch up. A desperate Cooper is able to change into a fresh set of civilian clothes and make his way out.

Cooper returns home and confronts Rachel. Rachel confesses that she had suspected that he was the Butcher, and that she was the one who left the receipt in the vacant house for the police to find. Cooper decides to kill her and then himself, but Rachel persuades him to at least share some of the pie that was made for his daughter. Cooper admits that he feels genuine hatred towards Rachel for causing him to never see his children grow up. Cooper realizes Rachel drugged the pie with pills from his tool bag, causing him to hallucinate his mother expressing pride in him for feeling a real emotion. The hallucination turns out to be Grant, impersonating Cooper's mother to calm him down. Cooper is tased by SWAT officers as he walks up to her. He stops to adjust Riley's bike as he is led away and shares a tearful embrace with her before being loaded into a police van. As the van pulls away, Cooper starts to pick his cuffs with a bike spoke, laughing to himself.

In a mid-credits scene, Jamie is watching the news and is stunned to learn that Cooper is the Butcher.

Development

[edit]

Writer and director M. Night Shyamalan

In October 2022, Universal Pictures announced a then-untitled film from filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan.[4] In February 2023, the film was revealed to be titled Trap when it changed distributor, as Shyamalan and his production company Blinding Edge Pictures entered a first-look deal with Warner Bros. Pictures.[5] The film sprouted from conversations Shyamalan had with his daughter, singer-songwriter Saleka, about combining the concert and theatrical experience and devising an album for a narrative, similar to how Prince wrote the titular album for the 1984 musical film Purple Rain.[6][7][8] Shyamalan initially planned to let another filmmaker write the script and direct the film from his original idea for a thriller set a concert, before changing his mind after realizing he could make the film with Saleka.[9]: 8:30 

The premise was inspired in part by Operation Flagship, a sting operation in which disguised law enforcement arrested 101 wanted fugitives at a convention center, having invited them under the pretence of gifting them free NFL tickets and an opportunity to win an all-expenses-paid trip to Super Bowl XX.[10] Shyamalan pitched Trap as setting The Silence of the Lambs (1991) at a Taylor Swift concert, in reference to her Eras Tour, and wrote the screenplay in five-and-a-half months, a personal record for him.[10][11] He produced the film with Marc Bienstock and Ashwin Rajan.[12]

Saleka stars as singer Lady Raven, whose concert the characters attend. As her father was writing the script, she composed fourteen songs for the film, designed diegetically to match the action onscreen.[13] Saleka previously collaborated with her father by making a single for the film Old (2021) and an EP for the series Servant.[6][14][15] Shyamalan was inspired to incorporate musical elements by Purple Rain and visiting Saleka on tour.[16][17] Saleka also noted Bollywood cinema, in which music often plays a key role in the storytelling, as an influence. She described Trap as a "Shyamalan American version of a Bollywood movie that is grounded and the songs make sense — not necessarily a musical, but completely music-centric."[6]

Josh Hartnett did not watch any media in preparation for the role of "Cooper" to make the character his own and researched psychopathy, including books about serial killers.[18][19]: 3:28  Shyamalan wrote Hayley Mills's investigator character as a "maternal figure" to contrast Cooper's lack of empathy.[20]: 16:28  Ariel Donoghue, who plays Cooper's daughter Riley, attended school in between filming.[21]: 7:09 

Filming

[edit]
The film was shot at FirstOntario Centre.

As with his recent, self-funded projects, Shyamalan and a storyboard artist storyboarded the film and held extensive rehearsals with the actors.[22][23][24]: 14:38  Shyamalan originally intended to frame the film in a 4:3 aspect ratio, but after a discussion with cinematographer Sayombhu Mukdeeprom, they agreed it limited their ability to shoot the movie and was "too much work" to create a feeling of claustrophobia. They changed it to a 1.85:1 aspect ratio, and the film was re-storyboarded.[22]

Principal photography was scheduled to begin in Cincinnati, Ohio, in August 2023, where it would have received over $9 million in tax credits from the state to film there.[25][26] Production relocated to Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and was granted an interim agreement on September 18, 2023, to film during the SAG-AFTRA strike.[27][28][29] Under the working title Good Grades, filming reportedly occurred from October 16 to December 8, 2023.[27][30] The film's pop concert venue, known as "Tanaka Arena", was filmed in Hamilton, Ontario, inside FirstOntario Centre, a 20,000-seat arena that the production obtained access to for two to three months because it was undergoing renovations.[31][32] Toronto's Rogers Centre stood in as the venue's exterior.[33]

Songs in the film were performed on stage as if it were a real concert, with extras having received the music beforehand to be able to sing along and a videographer recording onstage material and projecting it onto the stadium's screens in real-time.[14][34]: 4:02  Cora Kozaris was the choreographer.[6] The order of filming consisted of audience reactions, with music playing, followed by Saleka dancing and miming on stage, and then, after the extras went quiet, actors with dialogue, with a beat track in the background to help actors maintain rhythm. Hartnett and Donoghue screamed parts of their dialogue to match the intended noise levels of a concert.[20]: 15:24 [21]: 4:44  Trap was shot on 35mm film stock, which required the crew to wait three days for dailies to be processed and returned from a film laboratory in Los Angeles to review the footage.[22]

Post-production

[edit]

Trap was released the same year as The Watchers, the directorial debut of Saleka's sister, Ishana Night Shyamalan; a poster for The Watchers appears in the background of a scene in Trap. Saleka and Ishana Shyamalan worked on their respective films on their family's property in Pennsylvania, with Saleka operating in a recording studio while Ishana mixed her film next door.[35] Herdís Stefánsdóttir composed the score independently from Saleka.[36] Editing and mixing were completed on June 22, 2024.[37]

The soundtrack album, "Lady Raven", features Kid Cudi (who stars in the film), Russ, and Amaarae, and was released by Columbia Records on August 2, 2024. The songs "Release" and "Save Me" were released as singles.[6][38][39]

Release

[edit]

Trap was released in the United States by Warner Bros. Pictures on August 2, 2024. It is the second film of Shyamalan's to be distributed by the studio after Lady in the Water (2006), and marks the filmmaker's departure from Universal Pictures, which distributed five consecutive films of his, starting with The Visit in 2015.[40] Universal initially scheduled the film's release for April 5, 2024.[4] In 2023, Warner Bros. acquired and pushed the film to August 2, 2024.[41] In 2024, they postponed it to August 9,[42] and later brought it forward a week to August 2 again.[40]

The film premiered at Alice Tully Hall in New York City on July 24, 2024.[43][44] It did not screen for critics before its theatrical release.[45]

Reception

[edit]

Box office

[edit]

In the United States and Canada, Trap was released alongside Harold and the Purple Crayon and is projected to gross $15–25 million from 3,181 theaters in its opening weekend.[45][46][47] The film made $2.2 million from Thursday night previews.[2]

Critical reception

[edit]

According to the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, critics thought the film was "another divisive work" from Shyamalan, "but its dark humor, tense atmosphere and a strong central performance may just be enough for fans of his work."[48] On the website, 46% of 84 critics gave the film a positive review, with an average rating of 5.5/10. The website's critical consensus reads: "An arch thriller given some grounding by Josh Hartnett's committed performance, Shyamalan's Trap will ensnare those who appreciate its tongue-in-cheek style while the rest will be eager to wriggle out from it."[49] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 53 out of 100, based on 31 critics, indicating "mixed or average" reviews.[50]

Benjamin Lee of The Guardian gave the film 2/5 stars, writing, "Trap is a thriller that incorrectly thinks it's fiendishly smart. Maybe if it was more aware of how stupid it actually is, it might have been a lot more fun."[51] Peter Travers of ABC News wrote, "Hartnett performs miracles in making Cooper a serial butcher and a devoted family man living in the same body. You believe him, which is a trick Shyamalan otherwise fails to achieve as this misfire builds to a sequel-begging climax that ups the ante on shameless."[52] Vanity Fair's Richard Lawson said that Shyamalan "has built a solid foundation, as he tends to do: clever setup, appealing lead actor, and an interesting (and quite relevant) cultural milieu. But fairly quickly, Trap's sleek design peels away, and we see the shoddy engineering it's been hiding."[53]

Jesse Hassenger of The A.V. Club gave the film a B+ grade, writing that it "may cook more purely and entertainingly than anything in [Shyamalan's] last decade of self-styled pop hits. But it also suggests that there are discordant notes that he can't, and probably shouldn't, ever get out of his system."[54] IndieWire's Ryan Lattanzio gave it a B grade, calling it "too plausibility-stretching to be actually scary, but Hartnett's well-calibrated performance as a psycho dad, the type who sends PTA moms all aflutter, is too dangerously charismatic to ignore."[55]
