M. Night Shyamalan's latest movie, Trap, arrives in theaters today, and the review embargo has only just lifted.
This isn't usually a great sign, and sure enough, the twisty serial killer thriller is currently sitting at 47% on Rotten Tomatoes with 34 verdicts added.
Despite the "rotten" score, quite a few critics have been defending the movie on social media - although most seem to agree that - like a lot of Shyamalan films - the plot starts to get far too convoluted and preposterous in the final act.
Check out some posts below, and let us know if you plan on seeing Trap this weekend.
