This isn’t a raid! It’s a Reckoning!
Aura Entertainment has debuted the official trailer for Trap House, and it looks like a riotous collision of DEA tactics, cartel danger, and teenage rebellion.
Directed by Michael Dowse (It’s All Gone Pete Tong, Goon) and written by Gary Scott Thompson (The Fast and the Furious) and Tom O’Connor (The Hitman’s Bodyguard), the film follows a group of elite DEA agents whose worst-case scenario isn’t the cartel they’re targeting—it’s their own kids. In El Paso, Texas, a seasoned undercover agent and his partner find themselves in a high-stakes pursuit of a mysterious group robbing cartel operations, only to discover the culprits are their rebellious teenagers, using their parents’ own methods—surveillance, infiltration, non-lethal force—and classified intel to do it.
Dave Bautista leads the charge—reuniting with Dowse after Stuber – and is joined by Jack Champion (Avatar: The Way of Water), Sophia Lillis (It, “I Am Not Okay with This”), Tony Dalton (“Better Call Saul”), Whitney Peak (“Gossip Girl”), Kate Del Castillo (“The Cleaning Lady”), Zaire Adams (“FreeRidge”), and Bobby Cannavale (Ant-Man, Old Dads, “The Watcher”).
The trailer showcases a slick, high-energy mix of action and comedy, with family tension at its explosive core. Think Ocean’s Eleven with a juvenile delinquent twist, or Spy Kids grown up and gone rogue.
Bautista calls it a “true labor of love,” and it shows. With fast-paced set pieces and a cast clearly having a blast, Trap House is gunning for both laughs and adrenaline. Backed by Aura Entertainment, a new distributor from Capstone Studios, Signature Entertainment, and Ascending Media Group, the film aims squarely at audiences craving theatrical spectacle with a commercial edge.
Next up on the Aura release roster is Colin Minihan’s Coyotes, landing Friday, October 3rd—a chaotic, wildly fun survival thriller that never takes itself too seriously. (Our Fantastic Fest review of the film is HERE)
Trap House opens theatrically nationwide on November 14, 2025.
