Weapons Took Me by Surprise - This Is How You Do Horror!
Weapons delivers a bold and refreshing take on horror. The cinematography is sharp, the casting is spot-on, and the jump scares are genuinely effective. Major credit to the writers - they've crafted a horror film that feels inventive and daring.
Director Zach Cregger continues to prove he's not afraid to break the mold, following up Barbarian (2022) with another unpredictable, non-traditional narrative. The story starts off familiar, but quickly evolves into something far more layered and unsettling.
I especially appreciated the decision to split the narrative across multiple characters - it added depth and gave the audience a clearer view of the bigger picture.
My only real critique is the ending - it was a bit abstract and left me slightly unsatisfied. Still, it fits the film's overall tone and ambition.
Highly recommended for fans of horror that challenges the norm.
