Zach Cregger's Film

  • Category: Terrifying puzzle

The setting is torn apart by the mystery of what happened to a group of kids from the same third-grade class who all got up during the night and disappeared into the night. Barbarian director Zach Cregger follows the perspective of various characters searching for answers in this emotionally rich and deeply disturbing movie.

Central doubts with a detailed enigma are always if the story's drive can be continued, and if the experience is ultimately worthwhile. At its core, Weapons pays off big time. Once its grand finale falls into place, it feels expected but innovative, ideally structured to refute possible doubts of letdown. Once the frights fade, there are remaining uncertainties about the exact reasons this story required a multiple-POV ensemble approach.
