Shyamalan says that “Trap” is about the “real” monsters of society

In an interview with IndieWire before the publication of Catch In theaters, the publication asked M. Night Shyamalan why so many of his films contain an element of “everyday tragedy.”

“I think I'm trying to come to grips with the darker things we experience in life – I'm trying to find meaning in them. Let's say Catch is about the real monsters in an existing society,” said Shyamalan IndieWire. “There may be people on a continuum of empathy to the character Josh plays in Cooper, but they are there: people without empathy.

“I read something that said 4% of Americans could be considered sociopaths – they just have no empathy – and it's so scary because we feel that,” the writer-director continued. “Our alarm signals are going off a little bit. “Huh, that's strange.” I'm just using it as an example of the kind of everyday tragedies.”

Rotten tomatoes Critics were divided in their reviews Catchas they gave the film an overall “poor” rating of 57% based on 232 reviews.
