I’ve been waiting for “Weapons” to hit streaming just so I could dive back into this twisty ride. Zach Cregger’s horror-thriller was my most anticipated release of the summer, largely because it’s completely original. It’s not a sequel or prequel and doesn’t belong to a franchise. It’s a fresh, standalone horror flick I was craving in a season overloaded with reboots and sequels.
Thankfully, “Weapons” did not disappoint, ultimately ranking in my top three movies of 2025. Of course, I don’t think anything will knock “Sinners” out of the No. 1 spot, given how insanely good (and just a straight-up masterpiece) that was, but Cregger’s twisty little mystery has certainly etched itself in my brain.
