Trap (2024)

It was goofy fun but closer to a The Visit or Old than Sixth Sense or Split in terms of quality. One of those ones that feels like it should be an "M Night Shyamalan presents" rather than one directed by him. I really liked Josh Hartnett, his kid and Allison Pill, and Senya Shyamalan was alright (good singer-songwriter, okay actor). The concept of the structure being successive cat and mouse games getting tighter and tighter was cool, but it did lead to a lot of stuff feeling contrived or disjointed. If you go in expecting silly genre thrills you'll probably enjoy it.

Rating: throwaway fun
