The Sympathy Trap

In the decaying town of Ashford, a forgotten old man, abandoned by hollow gestures of institutional sympathy, weaponizes his home into a death maze for two small-time burglars. As his homemade traps turn his house into a slaughterhouse, he discovers that the kindness of society is merely a trap itself—a performance of care that serves only to soothe the consciences of those who look away.
