July 1 (UPI) -- Warner Bros. Pictures is giving a glimpse of the new film Trap.

The studio shared a trailer for the movie Monday featuring Josh Hartnett.

Trap is a thriller written and directed by M. Night Shyamalan (The Sixth Sense, Signs).

The film revolves around a father (Hartnett) and teen daughter (Ariel Donoghue) who attend the concert of pop star Lady Raven (Saleka Shyamalan), "where they realize they're at the center of a dark and sinister event."

A previous trailer showed Hartnett's character, Cooper, learn police are using the concert to try and trap the serial killer known as "The Butcher." Unbeknownst to them, Cooper is the killer and is holding another victim hostage.
