Zach Cregger's Film

  • Category: Terrifying puzzle
  • Length: 2h 8m
  • Helmed by: Zach Cregger
  • Starring: Josh Brolin, Julia Garner, Alden Ehrenreich

A small community is divided by the enigma of the fate of 17 children from the equivalent educational level who all got up during the night and vanished without a trace. The prior film Barbarian director Zach Cregger tracks the viewpoints of several individuals searching for answers in this emotionally rich and profoundly unsettling cinematic work.

Central doubts with an elaborate mystery are always whether that narrative momentum can be sustained, and if the experience is ultimately worthwhile. On the most elemental level, Weapons delivers impressively. Once its grand finale falls into place, it feels both inevitable and delightfully fresh, ideally structured to challenge potential criticisms of letdown. Once the frights fade, there are some lingering questions about the exact reasons this story required a multiple-POV ensemble approach.
