    Summary

    Reviewers say 'Weapons' blends mystery, horror, and dark humor through an innovative narrative featuring multiple perspectives and non-linear storytelling. Its suspenseful atmosphere, cinematography, and sound design are praised for creating tension. Garner and Brolin are noted as giving standout performances. However, some criticize the film's pacing, plot inconsistencies, and horror effectiveness. Despite mixed opinions on the film's unique blend of horror and comedy, many appreciate the film's ambition and original approach within the horror genre.

    That's it?

    1) I love horror movies.

    2) I avoided all trailers, marketing and reviews, so I am not a victim of overhyping.

    3) I felt like this would be another example of a movie that will be unanimously praised and lauded as the best/scariest horror movie of the year. That seems to be the case.

    4) Six stars is a positive score, but this review will be mostly negative as I try to explain why I didn't like this more.

    5) The mystery is built masterfully. But once we find out who or what is behind the horror, all I could think is, "That's it?" I hoped there was more to the story or somewhere interesting the plot could go from there. But there really isn't.

    6) They keep telling us more about the flawed characters, and have them involved in drama, which I enjoyed as it happened. But it doesn't come into play even a tiny bit, not with the story or any character arcs.

    7) There are some really good horror elements and jaw-dropping moments. But I ask myself if I would watch this again, and the answer is... probably not.

    8) It's a good movie, but I can't help but feel underwhelmed.

    Overhyped

    I'm surprised by all the "fantastic" reviews on this movie. It's definitely an ok film but in no way is this a 10/10 movie. It's a slow burn and then it goes into character POV, which is really unnecessary. It's too long and there are unanswered questions. I wasn't rooting for any of the characters except the ending scene (and you'll know what I'm talking about). So it's really just average. It could have been so much more. I'll never watch it again but I'm not upset that I saw it.

    This is what i wanted Longlegs to be more like...

    I liked Creggers' Barbarian a lot, but he didn't entirely stick the landing for me. Weapons is his sophomore effort, and you can see the confidence in direction and story telling is more refined. I had a blast watching this, as much as i love serious horror, Weapons wasn't afraid to inject some huge laughs to release the tension. Its gonna be hard to choose between this and 'Bring her Back', as my fave horror of the year thus far...

    Two hours of nothing

    Honestly, I don't know if I watched the same film everyone else is raving about, but I'm pretty sure my brain was left waiting in the lobby the entire time. The movie is long. Too long, too slow, too... boring. And yet, somehow, it still manages to feel overstuffed. Imagine a film that wants to be edgy, intense, and dramatic, but instead just flatlines.

    The multiple points of view were supposed to add depth or suspense, I guess, but instead they just fragmented the story and made it even harder to care about any of the characters. It felt like a patchwork of perspectives that didn't really go anywhere, leaving me more bored than invested.

    I waited the whole movie for something to happen... and nothing happened.

    Sure, it's original, I guess, but by the end, I wasn't scared, I wasn't impressed - I was just relieved it was over.

    Overhyped. A slow build to meh.

    There's a steady hand at work building tension as the movie progresses but unfortunately it all leads to a rather dull climax. You get hints of an explanation, and I'm not the type of person who needs everything spelled out, but it feels as though the film simply ends things "because it's time." I appreciate the different storylines overlapping and converging but it all felt pointless by the time the credits rolled. I'm also not sure what tone the director is going for here. There's certainly a horror element, but I've seen it classified as a dark comedy and I don't know that I would remotely consider it in that category. The acting is fine and the photography is decent but there's nothing here that you haven't seen before in better packaging.

    • Trivia
      To further capitalize on the themes of the movie, theaters listed showtimes at 2:17, the same time the children in the film vanish.
    • Goofs
      The film is set in Pennsylvania where liquor can only be purchased in "State Stores". One can also buy wine in the state stores, but beer is purchased at package goods stores, bars, or some supermarkets. Nowhere in Pennsylvania can one buy liquor and beer at the same place.
