Trap: Dad’s Being Weird

In 2024, M. Night Shyamalan lured moviegoers in with the slick and exciting trailer for his latest directorial misfire, Trap. Featuring the pop sensation that is Saleka Shyamalan, Kid Cudi cosplaying as Lucius Malfoy, and Josh Hartnett swinging for the rafters as a serial killer who seems to embody every Myers-Briggs personality type at once.

Perhaps the real trap isn’t just the one set inside the arena—but the psychological prism through which we attempt to make sense of a chaotic and indifferent universe. Or maybe it really is just the cops in an arena.
