Sometimes, amidst the crushing existential dread of my inevitable demise, I question the meaning of life. Is it all just a game set up by higher powers we can't even begin to understand? Speaking of games, let’s talk about "Trap," a movie I watched while I contemplated why pigeons always stare at humans ominously.
Directed by M. Night Shyamalan, “Trap” is supposed to be a horror film, but let’s be honest—it felt more like a documentary on why not to visit public events. Imagine this! You're at a Lady Raven concert — sounds safe, right? Nope! If the serial killer hiding among the crowd doesn’t get you, the existential boredom will.
Josh Hartnett stars as a dad named Cooper, who clearly hasn’t gotten the memo about avoiding crowded places. To save his daughter from the lurking dangers of pop music and potential psychopaths (or perhaps from the terrible acting), he seeks an exit strategy. Thinking about it, seeking an exit is quite relatable, if you catch my bleak drift.
Honestly, the real twist in the movie isn’t the plot—it’s that somebody convinced us to watch it thinking it's a genuine horror story. By the time it ended, I was less afraid of serial killers and more terrified of pigeons outside my window, plotting world domination.
And so, if life and its impending doom have taught me one thing, it’s that we might as well laugh. After all, you never know when a rogue pigeon will swoop in. If I'm destined to die alone, let it at least be because I discovered the world-dominating plans of overly intelligent pigeons. Now that’s a story worth missing my own funeral for!
