Why it’s HorroRated
Trap is M. Night Shyamalan at his most formally playful, building an entire horror film around a single dramatic irony and sustaining it for two hours through Josh Hartnett's dedicated performance. The absurdity of a serial killer trying to manage a pop concert as the net closes is exactly the premise and exactly the film. It works more than it should.
