Catch Weapons in cinema – The Observer

Weapons is a mystery horror film set in a small town where 17 children from a single classroom walked out of their homes in the middle of the night and disappeared.

Now the community is looking to the teacher for answers, questioning what she might have done, and why one child stayed behind.

Zach Cregger (director) starred in shows like Wrecked and Friends with Benefits before making his mark on Hollywood with the horror film Barbarian in 2022.

Boasting a Rotten tomatoes critic rating of 96 per cent (89 per cent audience score), Weapons has been well-received thus far. Cregger tells the story from multiple POVs.

Each POV keeps adding pieces to the confusing puzzle, allowing the big picture to finally take shape in the third act.

Rather than relying on exhausting jumpscares, Cregger succeeds in creating and maintaining a creeping sense of dread. You can watch Weapons in cinemas today.
