New hit horror movie Weapons is visually striking to say the least, and that’s no surprise as director Zach Cregger has now confirmed that the visual aspect was greatly inspired by Denis Villeneuve’s hit thriller Prisoners.
“The cinematography of Prisoners is so gorgeous. It's like washed-out, somber, cloudy, rainy movie," said Cregger in an interview with Letterboxd, when asked about his watchlist of inspirations for Weapons. "And I really, really wanted to, like, evoke everything visually that that movie evoked. And it's very lived in too... The mess in the people's homes and all that stuff. It's great."
