Zach Cregger's Film

  • Type: Horror mystery
  • Run time: 2h 8m
  • Helmed by: The director
  • Featuring: Josh Brolin, Julia Garner, Alden Ehrenreich

The setting is ruptured by the puzzle of the fate of seventeen youngsters from the equivalent educational level who rose simultaneously in the dark and disappeared into the night. The prior film Barbarian director Zach Cregger examines the stories of several individuals looking for clues in this emotionally rich and deeply disturbing movie.

Key inquiries with a complex puzzle are always whether that narrative momentum can be maintained, and if the experience is ultimately worthwhile. Fundamentally, Weapons delivers impressively. Once its grand finale arrives, it feels expected but innovative, excellently paced to refute any mutterings of disappointment. Yet as the horror-movie high, there are unresolved issues about why, precisely the narrative needed a multiple-POV ensemble approach.
