If you’ve seen Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour, you know the idea of safety emerges at some point.
With thousands in the arena, it’d be a nightmare if, say, some threat appeared. A serial killer?
That’s writer/director M. Night Shyamalan’s nightmare scenario.
In “Trap,” he sends a father and daughter to a Philadelphia arena where they’re going to see her favorite artist, Lady Raven (Saleka Shyamalan), a Taylor type who has an endless concert with ample opportunity for ticketholders to leave their seats.
There are so many breaks you wonder if anyone is left in the arena. Dad (Josh Hartnett), though, is looking for a way out (aren’t all dads?). He chats up the merch guy, gets his ID, checks into the employee lounge and discovers there’s a plan to trap the serial killer, called “The Butcher.”

Why a guy named “The Butcher” would go to a concert (in the afternoon, no less), is anyone’s guess, but it means fewer men to search on the way out.
