BEST NON-STREAMING OPTION Rent 'Trap' on Prime Video $5.99 to rent

In the saturated world of horrors and thrillers, it's actually a bit refreshing that M. Night Shyamalan doesn't take himself too seriously. That's certainly the case with his latest film Trap.

As Mashable's reviewer Siddhant Adlakha put it, "The film's story is tightly wound around a dopey premise, but it's also buoyed by incredible heart and soul, and seldom slows down while twisting every possible screw."

Starring Josh Hartnett in a "fine-tuned, operatic performance," Trapis a psychological thriller at its core. If you're looking for something a bit different than a typical jump-scare supernatural story or slasher film, it's "an absolute blast."

Here's everything you need to know about how to watch Trapat home, including the official streaming release date and the best Max streaming deals.

What is Trap about?

Shyamalan's latest follows Philadelphia firefighter Cooper (Josh Hartnett) as he accompanies his teen daughter Riley (Ariel Donoghue) to a concert by pop star Lady Raven (Shyamalan's own daughter Saleka). He notices a major police presence at the venue and soon realizes the performance is actually an elaborate trap to catch a serial killer expected to be in attendance. Worse, the serial killer they're trying to catch is him.

Check out the official trailer for a sneak peek:

Is Trap worth watching?

Critics and audiences alike have mixed reviews, with Trapclocking in at a 57 percent critic rating and 65 percent audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes at the time of writing. As far as Shyamalan movies go, that falls comfortably in the middle. It's no The Sixth Senseor Signs, but it's also not The Happening.

Mashable's reviewer had overwhelmingly positive things to say about it. "Trapis wonderfully good. It might even be great. And if it's not attuned to your sensibilities, chances are, you'll have a hoot of a time regardless," he wrote.

Sure, it hasn't set the box office on fire, but it's still a fun watch this spooky season.
