Trap

About This Movie

So, 'Trap' is an interesting watch. It dives into the lives of these five fishermen on an isolated island, and you can really feel the weight of their mundane existence start to unravel. The pacing might feel a bit slow for some, but it builds a palpable tension that creeps up as one of their own mysteriously disappears. Adding this layer is the wolf – a haunting presence that sparks a struggle for territory, both literally and metaphorically. It’s not all about the narrative though; the practical effects used for the wolf are striking. Performances are raw and genuine, capturing the isolation and emotional strain of the characters. It’s one of those films that leaves you with lingering thoughts about friendship and survival.
