M. Night Shyamalan, the man of many twists and shocking swerves! Sometimes that’s a good thing, and sometimes the surprises in Shyamalan’s films are horribly disappointing. The Sixth Sense is a shining example of Shyamalan at his best, you can also add Signs to that list.
But it’s hard to forget about the misfires throughout Shyamalan’s career. The twist for The Village was too far fetched and ridiculous. The Happening? A big letdown after so much anticipation for the reasons behind the pandemic, which basically led to a borderline silly film, that’s about people offing themselves in creative ways.
Shyamalan can be streaky with his films, but Trap has a lot of potential so far. A unique premise, and I’m having a hard time believing Josh Hartnett is actually the killer. Surely there’s no way they would reveal a big storyline in the trailer? It’s just too straightforward, considering Shyamalan’s track record.
Setting a trap in a packed arena? Why would the authorities put so many innocent lives in danger? Something BIG has to happen, a lot of paths and different possibilities to go with.
