Meanwhile, “Trap” is set for release on DVD, Blu-ray and 4K Ultra HD on Tuesday, Nov. 5 at Target and Amazon.
As for the film itself, Variety’s film critic Owen Gleiberman praised the film’s music. The “concert given by Lady Raven, a pop superstar (played by Shyamalan’s daughter, Saleka Shyamalan) who’s a kind of mashup of Lady Gaga and Olivia Rodrigo,” Gleiberman wrote in his review. “Her songs are pulsating and catchy (Saleka Shyamalan wrote them, and they’re pretty damn good, as is her performance).”
Written and directed by M. Night Shyamalan, “Trap” follows loving father and firefighter Cooper, played by Josh Hartnett, taking his teenaged daughter Riley, played by Ariel Donoghue, to a daytime concert featuring her favorite pop star Lady Raven, played by Saleka Night Shyamalan.
However, Cooper has a secret. In his secret life, he’s really a brutal serial killer known as “The Butcher” and the Lady Raven concert is a complex trap to catch him. Cooper must now try to evade the police without revealing himself to his daughter.
The movie also stars Alison Pill, Hayley Mills, Jonathan Langdon, Mark Bacolcol, Marnie McPhail, Kid Cudi, Russ, Marcia Bennett, Lochlan Miller and others.
