The first trailer for M. Night Shyamalan’s newest movie, Trap, has arrived–and it’s a doozy. The film stars Josh Hartnett as a serial killer who attends a concert with his daughter, only to discover that the whole thing was a set-up, or a trap, if you will, to catch him. Or so that’s what the trailer leads us to believe. Shyamalan’s movies are known for their twist endings, so while the trailer looks like it gives a lot away in terms of the plot, there is presumably more under the surface.
Shyamalan said during an event attended by Variety that he was interested in making a movie “from the vantage point of an unexpected person,” and this is Hartnett’s character.
“It kind of led more and more to this dark humor angle that Servant has and The Visit and Split had,” he said. “It’s odd … when you should be terrified and you’re laughing at the same time.”
