Warner Bros. has released the trailer for M. Night Shyamalan‘s latest mystery thriller Trap, starring Josh Hartnett, Saleka Shyamalan, Hayley Mills and Marnie McPhail.

As per the logline, Trap follows a "father and teen daughter attending a pop concert, where they realize they’re at the center of a dark and sinister event."

The 2.40-minute-long trailer showcases Hartnett's character, who along with his daughter Jody are at a famous pop star's concert. As he leaves the auditorium to catch a break, he witnesses security arrangements being beefed up. Upon asking a person, he learns that the police have set a trap to nab a serial killer who has also come to attend the concert. The twist in the tale is that it is Hartnett who is the killer. We see him holding a victim hostage at his house's basement through his phone where he is monitoring him. Will he find a way out of the venue? What are his evil plans?

Interestingly, the pop star in Trap is played by the director’s second daughter, Saleka, a singer-songwriter who also wrote several songs for the film.

The film is scheduled to hit theatres on August 9.
