Director Zach Cregger latest horror-thriller Weapons movie is certified 100% fresh by critics. “It’s so rare to watch a movie and not know where it’s going, what’s going to happen,” says writer-director Zach. “And I feel confident that that’s the case with Weapons.”
The latest movie from Cregger, writer/director of cult hit Barbarian, has impressed critics – Weapons currently has a 100% Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes. IGN described Weapons as “an absolutely delicious, scary-yet-funny blockbuster that never lets up… The mystery of a mass disappearance and its impact on a small town unfold in a fascinatingly layered way that gives every character a chance to shine; the wise decision to break their stories up into multiple, time-scrambling chapters creates multiple cliffhangers that set up a shattering finale.”
SlashFilm was all praises as well. “A wonderful mixture of bad vibes and macabre fun, Weapons is one of the best horror movies of the year, and further confirmation that writer-director Zach Cregger is one of the most exciting voices in the genre right now,” they wrote.
AwardsWatch commended the film, too, calling it “a chilling masterclass in suspense and POV storytelling that exposes a culture with dwindling empathy that tolerates dehumanizing acts.”
In their 5-star review of the movie, CinemaBlend described Weapons as the best horror movie in what has been a remarkable year for horror movies. “It’s intimate while also being epic, it’s scary while expertly utilizing humor as punctuation, and even the most dedicated cinephiles will be rocked by its surprises. It’s perfect and a must-see,” they wrote in their review.
In Weapons, when all but one child from the same class mysteriously vanish on the same night at exactly the same time, a community is left questioning who or what is behind their disappearance. “Weapons” stars Josh Brolin, Julia Garner, Alden Ehrenreich, Austin Abrams, Cary Christopher, with Benedict Wong, and Amy Madigan.
