Big fan of Mr. Shyamalan! He has original stories even for those few scripts he adopted from book...he puts his touch in it. Love him. I can't believe the girl has not heard of the best movie ever...The Sixth Sense!
Give the man a break, don't expect a twist, I really hope there is none. And I think he might be signaling that playing with this 'reveal' on the trailer itself. A twist is just a sudden surprise in a short period of time, let's enjoy and appreciate how he handles suspense in this one.
I feel like the trailer HAD to tell you who he was. Because I don't know how well this would be received if we got the same trailer but it just came off like they were trapped at a concert and were trying to escape like some twist on a home invasion movie...so at least this is the thing that will hook people in. But I agree, I usually hate when trailers reveal too much, so hopefully it's deeper than what we saw.
I’m so confused: 1) How are they going to catch this guy when they don’t even know what he looks like (I’m guessing they don’t because the cops grabbed the wrong dude at 4:37) 2) If Hartnett’s character _was_ the killer why would he agree to go to a huge concert where it’s common knowledge that cops are everywhere 3) How did concession dude know about this plot to begin with? Is he an undercover cop? 4) Does Hartnett’s character have split personalities?
He's got two daughters bro Saleka Shyamalan plays Lady Raven n sings her songs she wrote for the movie n her sister is Ishana Night Shyamalan who directed "The Watcher's".
I think that twist is that he isnt the butcher he just happens to be another serial killer who happens to be taking his daughter to that concert that just so happens that the butcher happens to also be attending
To your point: He makes his films on $9 million budgets and reaps huge box office. Same integrity thing with Josh. He is very picky about what roles he does. Been doing the little indie films for 20+ years, crushing versatile roles all genres. He and M. Night, what a pair to work together! You can search interviews where each is raving about the other. Can NOT wait to see this!
The 'twist', if there is one, is probably that most of the audience will be rooting for this serial killer dad to not be caught by the people seeking to trap him. Sympathizing with him and hoping he gets out. (I do think another twist will come, but if you really wanna mess with audience minds, making them root for a violent murderer is a good way to start. It's why the movie Psycho works.)
I like these type of movies that take place within one day like Die Hard for example only this one will have us rooting for the bad guy. Very interesting
What if this movie is a secret sequel to The 6th Sense and the kid is grown up working for the feds by communicating with the dead victims of The Butcher.
Yes my theory is that he's a Dexter-like killer that enjoys killing Serial Killers and he tries to hold it together upon realizing he's trapped in this Stadium sith multiple other Serial Killers. It would definitely add to the stakes of him not wanting to get caught since he's with his daughter.
My few guess is he's butcher and lady raven had ac family member killed by him and maybe she or fbi found clues that he is a lurker meaning after he kills someone maybe he still squaks around their relative because it gives him some sort of kicks the way seriel killers get out of watching people in trauma and so they figure if she throws a concert he'll show up and they can i don't know how but id him based on other killings crime scenes. My other guess of guesses is lady raven is the killer and he's the fbi agent who set it up and the phone he's looking at in restroom is actually the killers phone or victims phone found at crime scene and they traced patterns of killers moves. If it's the daughter and he's found her phone and trying to protect her by riding evidence i don't know how that would work. But that's just a few stretch guesses
It'd be crazy if the daughter was somehow involved, but he's gotta have a partner or someone else calling the shots. If Criminal Minds taught us anything, it's that there's likely an Alpha and a Beta and Cooper comes off as a Beta.
spoilers Josh Hartnett in the film is truly a psychopath but it turns out that they are not looking for him but for another killer, and together with his daughter he returns home
