Évanouis

I must say, this movie truly has it all - mystery, horror, and excellent storytelling.

Normally, it takes a while for a film to draw me in and build up the suspense, but this one grabs your attention from the very first scene and keeps you hooked all the way through.

The pacing is tight, the atmosphere is intense, and the story unfolds in a way that keeps you constantly curious. I also really appreciated the performances - the acting felt authentic and added depth to the overall experience.

The ending was satisfying, though I gave it 8 stars because a few elements of the mystery remained unresolved - or perhaps intentionally left open to interpretation.

Still, a fantastic film and a must-watch for fans of smart, original horror!

At 2:17am every child from Justine's class got out of bed, ran from their homes and never came back, every child bar one.

The film splits its main story into chapters coming from 6 different perspectives that all interlock. Our main characters are Justine, one of the kids father Archer, and the one kid who wasn't take, Alex. As we delve deeper into the story we get a small bit closer to understanding what happened and why it happened.

Okay, I enjoyed this, I enjoyed it a good bit but I did leave wanting more in less time.

Firstly the acting is TOP notch, Julia Garner is great and for me Josh Brolin was the most interesting of the adults while Alex played by Cary Cristopher stole the show, amazing acting. The music was creepy, visuals were good and it was shot really well, the story itself was strong.

The pace I had an issue with, maybe a little reshuffle of the character chapters or in my opinion 2 could have been dropped, and some more fleshed out, every time you get somewhere you are yanked back, that's cool for a while but like 6 times, a little too much.

It sounds crazy but I would have liked a little more fright !! I wouldn't class the movie as a horror, not necessarily more jumps but the kids I thought would be more creepy.

Regardless of the picks, it's a good movie and worth a trip to the cinema, the story of WHY AND WHO I really liked, 8/10.

Weapons is without a doubt one of the most intense and fascinating horror movies I've ever seen. I rarely give good reviews to any horror film but this one went above and beyond my expectations. The premise is quite simple, a classroom of kids goes missing. It sounds normal, but something about the plot is so eerie and terrifying it keeps you on the edge of your seat throughout. The film does a good job of balancing the horror with some comedy to alleviate the underlying tension that is there. Weapons has so many twists and turns that will keep you guessing throughout. Josh Brolin and Julia Garner carry this film. I highly recommend seeing this movie in theaters with an audience, it really makes the experience a whole lot better.

Exceeding all my expectations, "Weapons" is an incredibly powerful film where Zach Cregger masterfully blends tension and dark humor to a new level of sharpness.

The mystery of a mass disappearance and its impact on a small town unfolds in a mesmerizing, layered way, giving each character a chance to shine. The story is divided into several nerve-wracking chapters, ending with a gripping finale.

Special credit goes to Josh Brolin and Alden Ehrenreich, though the entire cast delivers strong, harmonious performances that brilliantly maintain the balance Cregger has created.

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.
