Cooper (Josh Hartnett) takes his teenage daughter Riley (Ariel Donoghue) to a sold-out concert, hoping for a fun night out. But as the music starts, he notices an unusual police presence – and soon realises the entire event is a trap to catch a notorious serial killer known as “The Butcher.” The problem? Cooper is The Butcher. As the walls close in, he must outsmart the authorities and escape before his secret is exposed.

Tim’s Take: I like the plot but think Trap was 15 minutes too long. It started to run out of steam towards the end. I only really enjoy Shyamalan’s The Sixth Sense, but if you enjoy his other work, you’ll probably like Trap.
