FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://movieswetextedabout.com/weapons-movie-review-an-ambitious-film-that-defies-horror-expectations/ "Weapons confirms Zach Cregger as a filmmaker with a distinct vision, capable of combining impressive technical command with uncommon narrative ambition. Josh Brolin and Julia Garner's performances are fundamental pillars supporting the film's intensity, while the tense and bloody scenes contribute to a truly visceral experience. Despite the abrupt and somewhat disappointing ending that weakens some of the accumulated impact, the way themes like collective trauma and suburban decay are explored reveals an authorial confidence deserving recognition. With all its imperfections, the movie provokes, engages, and leaves striking images and sensations, reinforcing Cregger as one of...

Seventeen children ran out of their homes one night at 2:17 am. They ran into the street and disappeared into the darkness. They all attend Maybrook Elementary, and all of them were from Justine Gandy’s (Julia Garner) class. The one student who didn’t leave was Alex Lilly (Cary Christopher), who is now quieter and reserved than ever. Parents of the missing children, including Archer Graff (Josh Brolin), believe that Justine Gandy either had something to do with it or knows where they are. Things turn hostile, and people begin dying in gruesome ways as this seemingly cursed town scrambles for...

"WEAPONS" strikes the perfect balance between visceral horror and psychological discomfort. The deeply unsettling premise stems from the simultaneous disappearance of nearly all the students in a class (except one) in a single night, without explanation, creating a constant tension in the narrative. Zach Cregger, in his dual role as director and screenwriter, creates a web of parallel narratives that intertwine with precision, proving emotionally powerful and insidious in its construction of mystery. The cast - especially Julia Garner as teacher Justine, Josh Brolin in a tormented fatherly role, and Amy Madigan as a sinister, mythical figure - infuses the...

It’s a bit like a wheel with lots of spokes, this mystery. It starts with a scenario in which seventeen kids all get out of bed at precisely 2.17 am, leave their well-appointed homes, only to never been seen again. The cops are baffled and the parents are suspicious. Of what? Well, they were all from the same class of “Justine” (Julia Garner) and the only other pupil to turn up next day: “Alex” (Cary Christopher). What has she done with them all? What does she know? We start with a telling of events from her point of view, then...

If a horror flick hopes to succeed, it must fulfill one basic requirement – it has to be scary. Regrettably, however, that’s where the latest offering from writer-director Zach Cregger drops the ball, a downfall brought on by a host of other shortcomings. The film chronicles the mysterious overnight disappearance of all but one student from the third grade class of newly hired teacher Justine Gandy (Julia Garner). While there’s no direct evidence implicating her in this troubling event, she quickly becomes a target for scrutiny and ridicule, particularly since none of the other elementary school’s classes reported any missing...

"Weapons" combines aspects of mystery, horror and dark comedy. This film starts off with a decidedly M. Night Shyamalan mystery vibe, which gradually gives way to disturbingly psychological, as well as visceral horor. In its closing scenes, there are even elements, of dark comedy. All of this said its the reveal that defines this film. I had worked out what was going on before this point arrived. Anyone with a degree of knowledge of the occult, will understand what the car scene, with the sleeping teacher represents. Nonetheless having my suspicions confirmed, was still uncomfortably disturbing. Acting in this film...

I really loved this movie. It was full of surprises and yeah it was scary! Loved the acting so much, talented people put a lot of work into this and it paid off. I'm not super into horror but I highly recommend, even if you are a bit of a scaredy cat like myself!

Felt this one was a bit over-hyped. It's not bad as such but at some point you'll realize that behind the big mystery and the non-linear storytelling there is a pretty shallow story with not much stuff to scare you.

I don't get the praise, it's a bunch of jump scares with a bunch of plot holes, and a broken up story so you don't ask things like "Why didn't the police check the homes of the missing kids?" Now, there was one decent scene with the female protagonist sleeping in a car, no spoilers, but the rest were just jump scares, nothing more.... seriously nothing more. It's really a movie you need to think about here, in fact it's better if you don't, a tiny bit of thought will make the holes glaring. Otherwise, yeah, just a bunch of...

"Weapons" is undoubtedly a crazy film in lots of ways and it is actually very reminiscent of director Brian Taylor's black comedy horror "Mom and Dad" (2017) at least in relation to ordinary and reasonable people suddenly transforming into inexplicably homicidal and violent killers. The intense action scenes are extremely brutal yet also magnificently well staged and that innovative opening scene with the children running outside into the night (which, by the way, is perfectly complimented by George Harrison's aptly titled song "Beware of Darkness" ) is beautifully filmed as indeed is this entire film, but the scene does have...
