Josh Hartnett's Thriller 'Trap' Tops Netflix Charts

A24's latest horror film, Talk to Me, directed by Danny and Michael Philippou, distinguishes itself within the studio's portfolio by delivering a grounded narrative that tackles themes of grief and addiction. The film centers on 17-year-old Mia, who, after attempting a ritual to contact spirits, becomes increasingly obsessed, leading to dire consequences for her and those around her. With a strong Rotten Tomatoes score of 94% and a Netflix release set for March 28, Talk to Me is poised to reach a broader audience. Meanwhile, M. Night Shyamalan's new thriller, Trap, featuring Josh Hartnett, is gaining traction on Netflix, recently hitting the number one spot despite mixed reviews and a 57% Rotten Tomatoes rating. Trap follows a father attending a concert with his daughter while hiding his identity as a serial killer, creating a tense narrative filled with Shyamalan's signature twists. Both films reflect a trend in contemporary horror and thriller genres that emphasize psychological tension and complex character dynamics.
