I’m always looking out for what upcoming horror movies are on the way because the genre has brought me some of my most unforgettable memories watching films in recent years. So, when I saw our five-star Weapons review, and its massive box office achievements, I knew I had to give it a shot. Wow...I didn’t know what I was in for. Zach Cregger’s followup to Barbarian is truly terrifying to me, and that’s not something that I can quickly say about most “scary” movies out there. I do have a gripe with its ending reveal, though.
While I absolutely appreciate Weapons for the very bold, scary and expertly crafted movie that it is on one hand, I do have to say that for me personally, it went a couple of bridges too far for my taste on the other. For one, having the main victims of the movie being elementary school children really got under my skin, because the importance of childhood and innocence is a very sacred thing to me that this movie totally tore at the seams. The second reason why Weapons was a lot for me is the villain behind their disappearances and all the brutal violence of the movie, which I want to talk about more in depth. MAJOR SPOILERS are ahead!
