Weapons

“Weapons” is a 2025 horror/mystery that everyone has been talking about. It stars Julia Garner (The Fantastic Four: First Steps), Josh Brolin (Avengers: Endgame), Cary Christopher (Days of Our Lives), Benedict Wong (Doctor Strange), and Amy Madigan (Field of Dreams).

All the kids from the same elementary class, minus one, mysteriously vanish at the exact same time in the middle of the night. Now the whole town is one edge without knowing what happened to the kids.

I originally didn’t want to see this one as I thought it looked a little weird, but I kept hearing from people how great of a movie it was, so I had to check it out. It’s cool how the movie is set up, it follows six different people’s perspectives before and after the event of the missing kids. You get a little from each person until it all comes together at the end to create the whole story. It isn’t scary but it’s a good watch and has a few good gory scenes. I wish it went a little more in depth overall, you find out what happened and why it happened, but it felt a little shallow. It does do a good job of keeping you guessing until it’s revealed what happened. I found the ending hilarious, and it was perfect poetic justice. Even though it isn’t exactly scary, it’s a fun movie though and worth checking out. I give it a 7/10,
