Weapons
Following up the indie appeal of 2022's BARBARIAN, writer-director Zach Cregger's WEAPONS was one of the breakout titles that excited genre fans the most in 2025, thanks to its utterly compelling blend of inventive non-linear storytelling that mixed humor and genuine scares supported by a stellar cast that drove a narrative exploring ever-more mysterious and increasingly dark themes. When all but one child from the same classroom mysteriously vanish on the same night at exactly the same time, a community is left questioning who or what is behind their disappearance. With Julia Garner, Josh Brolin, Alden Ehrenreich, and Amy Madigan (who scored a Golden Globe nod for her memorable performance).
"'Weapons' is nearly an hour longer than the average creepy movie, but [Zach] Cregger’s mosaic approach justifies extra running time as he asks us to put pieces together for ourselves while delivering jolts with sudden crossed wires." (Sight & Sound)
"'Weapons' is the feel-bad, feel-good movie of the year -- a rare horror masterpiece that leaps beyond its genre without abandoning its sick, sad heart." (The Atlantic)
"Where to start with this utterly gorgeous, commanding, terrifying and masterful suspense thriller? Firstly don’t believe the hype — it’s not a horror. It’s bigger than that." (Observer UK)
