Julia Garner dominates the first half and delivers a fantastic performance. She was restrained in the recently released THE FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS but here, she gets in a different zone and does full justice. Cary Christopher has a crucial part and does very well. The way he expresses himself through his eyes is worth watching. Josh Brolin (Archer Graff) leaves a huge mark, as expected. Alden Ehrenreich (Paul) lends able support. Austin Abrams (James) is entertaining and gets into the skin of his character. Benedict Wong (Marcus) is okay initially, but goes to another level in the second half. Amy Madigan (Gladys) is the surprise of the film. Whitmer Thomas (Alex's father) and Callie Schuttera (Alex's mother) do well.
On the whole, WEAPONS will leave viewers astonished with its unique script, strong execution, chilling drama and shocking climax. The film is bound to enjoy positive word of mouth from the moviegoers but two factors go against the film – limited awareness and a shortened first week window due to the release of WAR 2 and COOLIE on Thursday, August 14. However, if it strikes a chord with its core audience, WEAPONS has every chance to become a sleeper hit and enjoy a steady run in the weeks that follow.



While both survivors face scrutiny, Justine becomes the prime suspect. How did the kids vanish into thin air! Who’s behind these bizarre disappearances?
This gripping small town mystery is like nothing you have seen before. Shocking at every turn, it never gets predictable. Very rarely do you come across a horror film that’s smartly layered, deeply unsettling, dark and amusing, all at once. Weapons ticks all the boxes. Be it the isolated setting, camera work or performances, you feel as much a part of this eerie mystery as the characters.
Eerily hynotic, wildly unhinged and chilling to the bone — this brilliantly written small-town mystery is madness wrapped in genius. Zach Cregger’s Weapons is perhaps the best horror film of the year for a reason. It doesn’t succumb to any horror tropes and establishes its own cinematic language, pace and style. Even when the storytelling evokes unintentional and awkward humor, terror remains unshakable. Fear never loosens its hold on you. This is something that Ari Aster (Hereditary and Midsommar) and Jordan Peele (Get Out, Nope) have achieved over the years in this genre. Weapons stands tall in this league of twisted thrillers and will be remembered for a long time.
Unique and absolutely terrifying from beginning to end, Weapons unfolds like a suspenseful riddle keeping you on the edge throughout. While the story in itself is intriguing, it’s the clever storytelling and unfolding of events that take the cake. A gorgeous blend of crime thriller, mystery and horror, Cregger entraps you in his insane world and you enjoy it there. The climax in particular is a cherry on top.
Very rarely do great buildups lead to satisfying payoffs. Weapons achieves that. It’s tense, dark and delirious thrill ride that you shouldn’t miss out on.

What if Zach Cregger’s ‘Barbarian’ grew up, did ayahuasca (in layman’s terms - black magic), and decided to unpack generational trauma through a blender of dread, gore, and midnight madness? That’s ‘Weapons’ for you. Zach’s most ambitious, genre-bending horror mystery yet - it’s as unsettling as it is weirdly fun.

The film kicks off with one of the eeriest openings in recent memory, seventeen kids vanish into the night at exactly 2:17 AM, running into darkness, guided by... no one knows. One is left behind. Alex. George Harrison’s Beware of Darkness plays, and trust us, it’s not just a warning, it’s a tone-setter. From there, 'Weapons' spins out into a disturbing fever dream, told in chapters that jump perspectives, stretch timelines, and rattle nerves.
Cregger isn’t interested in easy answers. He wants your stomach to churn in knots and your brain to play catch-up. And somehow, it works. The storytelling is masterful, the screenplay very well balances dialogue-heavy tension, sudden violence (there’s a peeler scene, yikes), and darkly comic detours without losing the thread.
The cast is stellar, despite Zach having been through a lot before this came together. Julia Garner grounds the chaos with a performance that’s equal parts feral and fragile. Josh Brolin brings heft to a grieving father you never quite stop fearing. Alden Ehrenreich is a jittery delight, and Amy Madigan nearly steals the film with a final act that’s as grotesque as it is hilarious.
Thematically, 'Weapons' swings big with themes of mob paranoia, blame culture, childhood innocence shattered by adult dysfunction. And while not all its threads tie up neatly, the final 30 minutes are a delirious, blood-soaked payoff.

There are some speed-breakers as certain chapters meander. But even when the pacing sags, the atmosphere stays tight, the unease palpable. It’s a horror film that feels like something’s coming even when nothing is happening, and then BAM, something horrible happens.

Honestly, 'Weapons' could’ve been a mess. Instead, it’s a confident, deranged, stylish horror story that cements Cregger as one of the most exciting voices in the genre today. It's grotesque, unpredictable, weirdly funny, and completely unafraid to push boundaries.

We’ll take more of this madness, please. Weapons will be in theatres from August 8, 2025.

Everything was going fine until one night, at exactly 2:17 am, all the students of a class — except one — left their homes and never returned. Now, all eyes are on the class teacher, Justine Gandy, played by Julia Garner. She’s been called a witch, characterless, and worse, as parents assume their children’s disappearance is somehow her fault. But Justine, just as concerned about the kids’ safety as everyone else, decides to uncover the truth. What happens next blows your mind in ways you wouldn’t imagine.

It’s been a long time since horror cinema delivered something more than just jump scares. In that dry spell, Weapons arrives like the first rain, unnerving, unexpected, and oddly beautiful. It doesn’t just jolt you with frights; it lingers with a haunting story that slowly tightens its grip. At first, the film can feel overwhelming, with its narrative split into multiple chapters focusing on different characters. But as the story progresses, the threads start to intertwine in ways that are not only satisfying but shockingly clever. By the time the climax arrives, it lands with the impact of a masterpiece.
The movie is divided into six chapters, telling the story of each important character. Josh Brolin as Archer Graff (grieving father), Julia Garner as Justine Gandy (the teacher at the center of the mystery), Cary Christopher as Alex Lilly (the only child who doesn’t vanish), Alden Ehrenreich as Paul Morgan (local police officer with ties to Gandy), Austin Abrams as Anthony/James (a troubled drifter or addict figure) and Benedict Wong as Andrew Marcus (school principal).

Each of these characters has their side of the story, which finally connects them in a way no one has imagined. And on a broader perspective, it is Gladys Lilly played by Amy Madigan (Alex’s enigmatic aunt), a character tough to understand and even harder not to fear.

After his cult hit Barbarian (2022), director Zach Cregger returns with another horror-thriller. While this one isn’t as ground-shaking as Sinners, which belongs to a similar league, it still manages to leave the audience with questions, anxiety, and fear. The background score, the camera movements, the close-ups, and at times, the use of panoramic shots in sheer silence make you squint your eyes in tension. The roughly two-hour-long film never feels dragged, and it’s a true skill to keep viewers hooked in a thriller that holds back its suspense until the very end.
While all the other characters are equally important and have a crucial role to play, the real scene-stealer is Austin Abrams as Anthony/James. In a film heavy with dread, he’s a chaotic spark. Austin, with his talent, makes you laugh your lungs out in the most serious scenes and comes as a breath of fresh air every time the narrative gets too heavy.

Weapons is a bold psychological horror-thriller that stakes its claim through a fractured, character-driven narrative and chilling premise. With gripping performances, a haunting premise, and a direction style that builds unease with every frame, it firmly establishes itself as one of 2025’s most riveting genre films. It’s a rare horror film that doesn’t just scare you, it stays with you.

Weapons blend horror and humor, seamlessly. Zach Cregger’s direction is excellent and confident. He succeeds in creating an unsettling atmosphere from the very first frame of the film. The film’s layered narrative is similar to an anthology with continuity, and it offers fresh perspectives while maintaining cohesiveness in the story. The mystery is engrossing, with each character arc adding new clues.

The haunting visuals in the movie, amplify the dread while never over-relying on jump scares. The film’s dark humor compliments the tension of the movie, perfectly. The finale is a highlight. It is masterfully choreographed, blending horror with gore. The climax will surely make everyone gasp and clap.

The biggest takeaway of Weapons is its originality. Also its emotional depth, particularly in exploring childhood trauma, sets it apart in a stellar year for horror.
Julia Garner is exceptional as Justine. She balances vulnerability and determination with raw intensity. Josh Brolin anchors the film as Archer. His rage, intensity and kindness are the film's highlights. Alden Ehrenreich brings nuance to his character of Paul. Justin Abrams steals scenes as James. He adds manic humor into the horror. Cary Christopher is a revelation as Alex. He delivers a performance that carries surprising emotional weight.

Amy Madigan is terrifyingly unforgettable as Gladys. He channels a fairy-tale villain with chilling precision. Benedict Wong is rock-solid as Principal Marcus, grounding the chaos with quiet authority. Other supporting actors also perform exceptionally, making Weapons among the best horror films in recent times.
Weapons is a big triumph for the horror genre. It is twisted, terrifying, and surprisingly funny. It surpasses Zach Cregger's own Barbarian, in both ambition and execution. Its innovative structure, gripping mystery, and stellar performances make it the one of the best films of the year. Despite minor pacing hiccups, the film’s depth, thrills, and finale, manage to deliver an unforgettable experience. Horror fans and cinephiles alike will find plenty to love in this shocking, satisfying gem.

Weapons is a must-watch. It's a film that lingers long after the credits roll. You can book your tickets for the movie, now.
