Nice twist in the trailer, which was otherwise quite dull. Still, M Night never fucks around so I'm sure it will be cinemaworthy!

Apparently the twist is that it's M. Night Shyamalan's daughter concert and the viewer who paid for it is trapped.

How is this hack allowed to work in Hollywood, but Uwe Ballz isn’t?

Because M. Shama made a good movie and decent-mediocre films but Uwe Boll has made 100% rubbish Laughing

This was horrendous. Everything from acting to the so called plot .
Shamalana ding dong is just Uwe Boll with a bigger budget.

It's staggering to think that M. Night Shyamalan was responsible for The Sixth Sense and Unbreakable. Trap is amongst his worst, which isn't saying much.

It's definitely ok to watch. I loved the girl, she had some great energy. Was surprised to see she actually is only like 13/14 and not some 20ish gal they told to act a teenager. Definitely paid off to have a real teen in that role.

The ending took waaaay to long and could have had 2 or 3 less turns, it just kept on going. It's curious, I read that Shalalalalam financed this movie himself, so there was no corporate garbage pushed on him, and still he couldn't iron out the faults in the script. Guess he really had reached his heights with 6th Sense and Unbreakable.

The script itself could more or less be fixed quite easily:

I think this one was kinda okay for what it was. It was entertaining for what is was. However not without flaws.

In a current world where everything is a reboot or rehash of hollywood crap, this is kinda nice.
Hartnett did okay for a psycho. Especially with some on the closeups and facial tics.

Those who are surprised this is the same director as Unbreakable, should watch Split. Even though the last one in the trilogy is not as strong.
