Zach Cregger is on top of the world right now as his latest horror film, Weapons, just spent another week atop the box office. However, despite its recent success, Cregger’s previous horror masterpiece just got a devastating streaming update. Before he ever teamed up with Josh Brolinfor Weapons, Cregger wrote and directed Barbarian, the 2022 psychological horror film that’s currently streaming on Netflix. Unfortunately, the streamer has confirmed that the last day to watch Barbarian will be at the end of the month on August 31 — act fast, Cregger fans.

Barbarian was a major hit among critics and audiences, and the film also found tremendous success at the box office.

The talk of the horror world is Zach Cregger’s Weapons. It’s my favorite film of the year (and you can check out Bumbray’s glowing review of it Here). It has captured imaginations in a way that only original cinema can do. While I’m hoping that it remains just the one film, there are already rumors that the Studio is trying to develop a prequel. Thankfully, I’ve seen mostly negative opinions on that, so hopefully they’ll listen and avoid making this into a franchise. Because what makes it so special is its uniqueness and that will just be diluted with more entries. If anyone can do it, it’s Cregger, but I’d much rather see him focus on other projects (though I’m not sure Resident Evil is the best usage of his talents).

If you haven’t seen Weapons, you should probably change that Asap,...

Director Zach Cregger is quickly establishing himself as one of the most exciting voices in horror. The comedian-turned-scare merchant makes demented flicks that are as terrifying as they are original, full of twists and turns and plenty of surprises. With "Weapons," he's delivered a twisted suburban nightmare that tackles the harrowing subject matter of missing children, and let's just say the story ventures to some wild places. Much like his previous horror shocker "Barbarian" (one of the best films of 2022), "Weapons" is a mystery that proves original horror is alive and well, and any future movie with Cregger's name attached to it has our attention.

The filmmaker's star hasn't always shone bright, however, as his debut directorial feature was a bomb. Back in 2009, he and Trevor Moore co-wrote and directed "Miss March," a raunchy sex comedy about a man who wakes up after a four-year coma to discover that his...

I haven’t had the chance to see Zach Cregger’s Weapons yet, so this may include Spoilers. Zach Cregger’s new horror thriller is shaping up to be a big success, and according to THR, Warner Bros. and New Line are already talking with Cregger about a Weapons prequel. Franchise, baby!

The potential prequel would explore the origin story of Aunt Gladys, the standout character portrayed by Amy Madigan. The report states that Cregger had originally included more of Aunt Gladys in the script, including a whole chapter on her backstory, but he pulled it to keep the movie from going too long. Cregger mentioned a potential follow-up to the film last week while speaking with Variety. “I have another idea for something in this world that I’m kind of excited about,” he said.

Zach Cregger’s sprawling horror film “Weapons” raises a lot of questions. What made the 17 children get out of bed at 2:17 a.m. and run into the night? Where did they go? Who was responsible?

And why did that couple have seven hot dogs for a meal? It turns out this question actually has an emotional answer.

This minor moment from “Weapons” went viral soon after the movie’s release, with audiences noting the strange spread adorning the tray of Benedict Wong’s Marcus and his husband, Terry (Clayton Farris). While most viewers simply thought of the image as another off-beat throwaway in Cregger’s humorous horror film, the bit actually has a possible origin that’s far more emotional.

[This story contains spoilers for Weapons.]

Zach Cregger’s Weapons is the latest horror success story in a year when epic studio horror films with large casts and even larger ambitions have thrived, like Sinners, Final Destination: Bloodlines and 28 Years Later. After eclipsing box office projections and sending enthusiastic audiences home with heightened pulses and more than a few chuckles (at least until all the lights go off and only the nightmares remain), Weapons has dominated film-centric conversations on social media for days.

Cregger’s twisty tale features a unique tapestry of intersecting characters played by Julia Garner, Josh Brolin, Alden Ehrenreich, Benedict Wong, Austin Abrams, and Cary Christopher, all caught up in the mysterious disappearance of 17 children.

It’s no surprise the film has led to discussions about its deeper meaning. But the most frustrating point among them is the argument shared by several critics and a wider collection of the audience that the...

Spoilers for "Weapons" to follow.

People have been buzzing about "Weapons," director Zach Cregger's follow-up to his 2022 horror hit "Barbarian," and if you've seen "Weapons," it's easy to see why. Put simply, this movie rips. The central concept isn't just part of the marketing, but the first thing you see and hear on the big screen: 17 children from the same class run into the darkness at 2:17 a.m., and nobody knows why. Cregger's script had the horror industry buzzing when a bidding war broke out back in 2023, after "Barbarian" proved to be an enormous hit — and according to a report in Deadline around that time, writer and director Jordan Peele was absolutely desperate to produce "Weapons." When he lost the bidding war, all hell broke loose in the Peele camp, if reports are to be believed.

So what happened? We may never know the full story, and as of this writing,...

Here’s an interesting factoid — Barbarian was not Zach Cregger’s directorial debut. That honor goes to the now-forgotten sex comedy Miss March, which he also starred in alongside his partner from the sketch comedy group The Whitest Kids U Know, Trevor Moore. The film was almost universally panned — except by me, as I actually found it really funny and gave it a glowing review.

Tragically, Trevor Moore died in a freak accident, falling from the balcony of his home. His passing came only hours after he and Cregger had reunited for a Twitch livestream to raise money for a Whitest Kids U Know project — a feature-length comedy called Mars. Moore died on August 7, 2021, and exactly four years later, Cregger released Weapons — a timing that feels far from coincidental.

According to an interview with GQ, Weapons was Cregger’s way of channeling his grief for Moore. “The movie’s about...

Comedian Turned Director Behind Weapons And Resident Evil Reboot ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

Zach Cregger is a film director who has recently helmed the acclaimed horror film Weapons, which has generated a lot of buzz. And this isn’t the only high-profile project the budding director has under his belt, as Zach will also be working on an upcoming film reboot for Capcom’s iconic Resident Evil series.

However, Zach Cregger’s pivot into horror filmmaking is the latest chapter in a long, storied career. Read on to learn more about this rising star’s long and diverse career trajectory, from his start as a comedian to his pivot towards filmmaking.

Zach Cregger has a look of horror on his face. He has said something he should not have said.

When the writer-director first penned what would become Barbarian, his 2022 Airbnb-set horror movie that turned into a word-of-mouth phenomenon, he was coming off years of work as an actor for hire and a stay in “director jail,” after making what he termed “a complete and unmitigated failure.” (That would be the 2009 road-movie comedy Miss March.) “I had nothing to lose, really,” Cregger says, over Zoom from an apartment in Prague. “It...

This article contains spoilers for "Weapons."

Zach Cregger loves laying the foundation for a good mystery. "Weapons" and his solo directorial debut "Barbarian" thrive on luring audiences into strange stories about terrible secrets and other unexplained phenomena skimming the surface of our purview. /Film's Chris Evangelista gave a glowing review of "Weapons," accurately citing it as a twisted, funny and scary suburban nightmare. The source of Cregger's horror films comes from unimaginable horrors existing within reach, albeit cranked up in such a way that no one could feasibly put together that an AirBNB has a literal underground tunnel system. The co-founder of "The Whitest Kids U'Know" has proven to be one of the most exciting voices working in horror because he's able to meld his comic sensibilities with creepy, loaded imagery. It feels unlike what anyone else is doing right now.

Spoiler Alert !!!Major Spoilers for Weapons (2025)

Having rave reviews and an iconic Rotten Tomatoes score, Zach Cregger‘s recently released horror flick, Weapons, is what everyone’s been talking about. With a twisted and dark ending that was as gory as it was shocking, Cregger had a masterful stroke of genius in defeating the evil entity that was at the centre of 17 missing kids.

At the end of the film, Alex’s parents were breaking down the door with their hands when the little kid had hidden in the Witch’s room. Breaking down the door and Alex’s mother looking through the gaps made me feel like Cregger might have paid a quick homage to Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining.

Alex quickly gathers the branch, puts the Witch’s hair and wraps around it, and snaps the two pieces. The Witch realizes that dark magic has been cast as...

After more than a decade of impassioned — and often maddeningly semantic — debate over the concept of “elevated horror,” it doesn’t feel like a coincidence that the most exciting new voice in mainstream horror is a smart guy who’s obsessed with scary basements.

Zach Cregger’s “Weapons” isn’t a basement movie to nearly the same degree that his 2022 debut “Barbarian” is a basement movie (few things are!), but this sad, sprawling, and fun-as-hell vision of suburban despair takes similar pleasure in leveraging a high-concept premise for “low” genre thrills. Or, what happens in burying a nightmare under the floorboards until the grief and trauma it invariably represents gets subsumed by the full-body shiver of the fact that people were living on top of it the whole time.

That framing might have spoiled the first twist of “Barbarian,” but I promise it doesn’t reveal anything the least bit ruinous about “Weapons.

Weapons is poised to be the scariest horror movie of 2025, with director Zack Cregger drawing from a real-life personal tragedy and several iconic movies to cook a strange, disturbing, but engaging mystery surrounding the sudden disappearance of children in a small town.

With a 100% critics’ score on Rotten Tomatoes, the movie is bound to surprise audiences. Reviews suggest Cregger has crafted a truly harrowing tale that is as emotionally charged as it is frightening. As you await the movie’s release later this week, here is a look at all the real-life inspirations Cregger drew from to make Weapons a truly unique experience.

In the last few years, several horror films have stood out and redefined the genre. One of them is 2022's Barbarian.

While the horror cemented itself as one of the best releases of 2022, it also earned a special place in the genre as a whole. With Zach Cregger at the helm, Barbarian was a critical and commercial success, featuring Bill Skarsgård in a role that was very different from his usual dark characters. Three years later, Barbarian has become a hit on Netflix, shortly after its June 1 release, per Tudum.

For the week between June 2 and June 8, Barbarian debuted in the charts in seventh place. The horror is only available in the U.S., and Netflix doesn't reveal viewership numbers for individual territories. However, since Barbarian didn't make it into the global charts, it received less than 2.5 million views, which is the number of the final entry in the Top...

Netflix subscribers will get a treat soon. One of the best recent horrors, 2022's Barbarian, will debut on the platform next month.

Netflix officially confirmed that Barbarian will be available on June 1. The horror film, directed by Zach Cregger, was a critical and commercial success. It premiered in 2022 and starred Georgina Campbell, Bill Skarsgård, and Justin Long.

Barbarian marked one of Skarsgård's horrors where his character doesn't play the expected part. He plays Keith, a man who double books the same rental home in Detroit as another woman, Tess Marshall, neither of them aware of the house's dark secret.

The horror premiered at the San Diego Comic-Con on July 22, 2022, and had a wide release on Sept. 9 the same year. Barbarian received positive reviews from the critics,...

Every year, thousands of movies and television series are released onto "home entertainment," be it DVD, Blu-ray, 4K Uhd, or digital. These can be recently released movies, or restorations of older films and shows, and it's obviously hard to judge the best of them, considering everything is in play. Well, the Home Entertainment Media Play Awards give it their best shot each year, and the results of their 2025 awards are in. A technical achievement in film restoration, the Warner Archive Collection takes the top honor this year with a jaw-dropping 4K release of John Wayne and John Ford's Western masterpiece, The Searchers.

Warner Bros. Discovery cleaned up quite a bit, winning 12 awards in total; The Searchers' release won five of those alone, while Friends: The Complete Series and Dune: Part Two each earned two awards. Shout! Studios certainly deserved the gold they got, with their clean release of The Whitest Kids U'Know...

Sony will release Columbia Pictures’ “Resident Evil” domestically on Sept. 18, 2026.

Based on Capcom’s hugely popular horror video games, Zach Cregger has written the script and will direct. Shay Hatten is co-writing.

Constantin Film is producing and co-financing the film. Constantin’s Robert Kulzer, Vertigo Entertainment’s Roy Lee and Miri Yoon and PlayStation Productions are also producing.

Cregger’s credits as a writer-director include “Miss March,” “The Civil War on Drugs” (both alongside Trevor Moore) and, most recently, “Barbarian.” He also produced the 2025 film “Companion” and is next writing, directing and producing the Josh Brolin- and Julia Garner-led horror film “Weapons” for Warner Bros., out January 2026.

Back in the ‘80s and ‘90s, David Letterman was known for two things: hosting a talk show, and having a big gap in his teeth. Pretty much every caricature and impersonation of the comedian made sure to include this signature dental quirk.

Play

But somewhere along the way, the Late Show host had the gap “closed,” which is somewhat surprising, considering that he was so adamant about not altering his smile early in his career.

Before he was a late-night star, Letterman was cast as the lead of Peeping Times, a 60 Minutes parody that was co-written by Christopher Guest and featured a brief appearance from Mel Brooks in the role of “Adolf Hitler.”

According to the Television Academy, the network was very concerned about Letterman’s teeth, and tried to force him to get dental surgery before shooting the pilot. Letterman refused, and convinced them to let him wear a dental insert instead.

In the wake of troubling revelations surrounding Sean “Diddy” Combs, the internet has been revisiting Justin Bieber’s early career with a more critical eye. Fans have begun to piece together moments from the pop star’s past, specifically linking one of his emotionally raw songs to the traumatic experiences he may have endured while navigating the music industry as a teenager.

As Diddy faces legal charges including sex trafficking and racketeering, his close association with a young Bieber has raised eyebrows. Reflecting on these past events, fans are now questioning the dynamics between Diddy and Bieber during the latter’s teenage years.

In the world of pop music, many songs resonate deeply with fans, but few carry the raw, painful honesty of Justin Bieber’s Lonely.

Following Sean “P. Diddy” Combs’ recent arrest based on alleged s*x trafficking, s*xual assault allegations, and transportation for prostitution, Justin Bieber is making rounds on the internet, for his heartbreaking association with the hip-hop artist. It is now being said the pop star was reportedly groomed by Diddy, during his rise to stardom.

Amid such tantalizing headlines surrounding Justin Bieber and Sean “P. Diddy” Combs’ relationship, a parody music video emerged online. Released almost a decade ago, by late comedian Trevor Moore, the video featured a comical depiction of the Baby singer speaking about his situation in the music industry, through lyrics. Although Moore’s work previously went unnoticed, it finally came to the limelight amid the debates surrounding Bieber and Diddy.

Hulu subscribers' Halloween watchlists just got a major upgrade. The 2022 horror movie Barbarian is heading to the streaming platform this October.

Beginning October 1, Barbarian will be available to stream on Hulu. Directed by Zach Cregger, Barbarian focuses on a young woman, played by Georgina Campbell, who books a rental home in Detroit for a job interview. However, "when she arrives late at night, she discovers that the house is double booked, and a strange man is already staying there. Against her better judgment, she decides to spend the evening, but soon discovers that theres a lot more to fear than just an unexpected house guest," reads the official synopsis. The cast also includes Bill Skarsgrd and Justin Long, both of whom are no strangers to the horror genre.

Horror and comedy share similar wavelengths, leading to successful crossover filmmakers like Jordan Peele and John Krasinski. Zach Cregger transitioned from sketch comedy to horror directing, gaining critical acclaim with "Barbarian." Cregger's upcoming film "Weapons" promises interrelated horror stories with a star-studded cast, continuing his success.

Barbarian director Zach Cregger seemed to suddenly burst onto the scene in the 2020s, but the comedian has actually been working for many years now. Horror and comedy have always gone hand in hand. That feeling of shock an audience gets when watching a film can lead to fits of laughter or shouts and screams. They both operate at similar wavelengths, and it's why so many comedic actors are great at horror. Jordan Peele, John Krasinski, Bill Hader, and Elizabeth Banks are just a few names of filmmakers who started in comedy and now are renowned for their horror films.

What those four filmmakers...

“Do you have any idea how expensive it is to hire a twink?” Zach Cregger asked with mock exasperation during a recent Zoom call with IndieWire. “We have like nine twinks in our movie! That’s crazy! You couldn’t do that in the real world.”

The twink-filled topic of discussion was “Mars,” the new animated film that sees the cult sketch troupe “The Whitest Kids U’Know” reuniting one final time. Over the course of their eponymous show’s five-season run on IFC from 2007-2011, Cregger, Sam Brown, Trevor Moore, Timmy Williams, and Darren Trumeter built a passionate fanbase with their darkly absurd sketches, many of which centered around ill-advised advertising pitches like “The Grapist,” convoluted schemes, or lengthy debates between straight men about whether their homoerotic behavior was technically “gay.” Fans will be quick to tell you that the show’s lo-fi production value was part of its charm,...

Screen Rant interviewed Darren Trumeter, Timmy Williams, Sam Brown, and Sevan Najarian about their work on Mars. Mars, a comedy movie by Whitest Kids U'Know, took over a decade to develop, incorporating rewrites and crowdfunding. Directed by Sevan Najarian, Mars follows a group duped by a billionaire on a Mars trip, featuring familiar comedy faces.

Mars, a new animated comedy movie and the final project of hit sketch comedy group Whitest Kids UKnow, took over a decade to arrive at its Tribeca Film Festival 2024 premiere. After rewrites, format changes, and a long crowdfunding campaign that raised hundreds of thousands of dollars, Mars sees the comedy gurus pairing up with Midnight Kids Studios to bring their vision to life in 2D. The movie is about a group of people who travel to Marsincluding Kyle, who abandons his wedding after winning a flight to the Red Planetonly to find out that theyve been duped by a billionaire.

There are endless challenges to getting an indie feature-length animated film made: Lack of money, not enough time, fruitless rewrites, a vision that can’t get across the finish line. When asked what the biggest challenge was while making their upcoming comedy “Mars,” co-writers and voice actors Sam Brown and Zach Cregger can’t help but riff an answer to a question that inelegantly ignores the elephant in the room.

“Well, Trevor died,” Brown says.

“Trevor died, that was a toughie,” Cregger says. “I guess it was getting it funded — that was bigger than Trevor dying. No, no, no, no, no. Also, Covid was annoying. So let’s go Covid, funding, Trevor dying.”

Trevor is Trevor Moore, the de facto leader of Whitest Kids U’Know, the five-person sketch group — consisting of Moore, Brown, Cregger, Timmy Williams and Darren Trumeter — behind “Mars.” The group, which began as a club at...

The Tribeca Film Festival 2024, presented by Okx, today announced its full lineup of feature narrative, documentary, and animated films. This year’s Festival, which takes place June 5-16 in New York City showcases the best emerging talent from across the globe alongside established names.

Look for buzzy titles like The Devil’s Bath, from filmmakers Veronika Franz and Severin Fiala.
