Josh Hartnett and Ariel Donoghue costar in M. Night Shyamalan's emTrap/em.
The Big Picture Director M. Night Shyamalan will take every win that he can get at this point, seeing as his latest film, Trap, is having a rather muted run at the box office. The thriller debuted in the wake of the word-of-mouth hit Longlegs, which has stunningly grossed $100 million at the global box office. Trap, on the other hand, is trailing that film by around $40 million, despite reportedly costing thrice as much.
Shyamalan has self-funded his films ever since his comeback of sorts with the 2015 release The Visit, which grossed over $65 million domestically and nearly $100 million worldwide. The Visit was produced on a reported budget of $5 million, while Trap is said to have cost $30 million. Shyamalan delivered his biggest hits in the first phase of his career, when The Sixth Sense launched him into the stratosphere and earned him comparisons to Steven Spielberg.
Trap follows a serial killer who discovers that he’s been cornered by the police while accompanying his teenage daughter to a pop concert. He tries to evade capture, and maintain a veneer of normalcy in front of his increasingly suspicious daughter. The film opened to mixed reviews, and currently sits at 55% on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes. Starring Josh Hartnett, Haley Mills, Alison Pill, Saleka Night Shyamalan and Ariel Donoghue, Trap is playing in theaters.
