M. Night Shyamalan’s ‘Trap’ Described as a “Psychological Thriller Set at a Concert.”

June 21, 2023 Jordan Ruimy

M. Night Shyamalan is shooting a new film. The India-born, Philadelphia-raised filmmaker has been riffing on “Twilight Zone”-type premises for 25 years now.

After “Knock at the Cabin” he’s directing “Trap,” due to hit theaters in 2024. Shyamalan has been mum about this latest project, but he did, albeit briefly, mention some details:

“It’s a thriller. It’s very unusual and very new compared to what I’ve been trying to do [recently], but I’m feeling very excited about the story, so much so that I can’t wait to tell it to you guys.”

“I will say this, the angle into the story is why it’s so exciting. The story might be something that you’ve seen before but the angle is very, very unique – the point of view.”

Appearing today at CineEurope, Shyamalan briefly noted that the film is a “psychological thriller set at a concert.”

I’m still waiting for Shyamalan to top “The Sixth Sense” and “Unbreakable,” both released, respectively, in 1999 and 2000.

Shyamalan’s had many ups and downs since then, constantly challenging himself, and his audience, but it seems as though Newsweek’s 2004 proclamation that he’s the “The Next Spielberg” feels rather far-fetched today.

Then again, it’s not like he hasn’t made any good movies since then. “The Village” and “Signs” were somewhat noteworthy and then he had a slight comeback the last decade with the low-budgeted “The Visit” and “Split.” Also, the preposterously conceived “Old” was, at the very least, an interesting and watchable ode to Hitchcock.
