What a masterpiece! Unique, great, super interesting & very well executed horror movie. Loved it very much!
"Weapons" combines aspects of mystery, horror and dark comedy. This film starts off with a decidedly M. Night Shyamalan mystery vibe, which gradually gives way to disturbingly psychological, as well as visceral horor. In its closing scenes, there are even elements, of dark comedy. All of this said its the reveal that defines this film. I had worked out what was going on before this point arrived. Anyone with a degree of knowledge of the occult, will understand what the car scene, with the sleeping teacher represents. Nonetheless having my suspicions confirmed, was still uncomfortably disturbing. Acting in this film is generally more than competent and the script is creepily creative. In summary, a compelling mystery, horror, with a dash of dark comedy. A must watch for horror fans.
I really loved this movie. It was full of surprises and yeah it was scary! Loved the acting so much, talented people put a lot of work into this and it paid off. I'm not super into horror but I highly recommend, even if you are a bit of a scaredy cat like myself!
Felt this one was a bit over-hyped. It's not bad as such but at some point you'll realize that behind the big mystery and the non-linear storytelling there is a pretty shallow story with not much stuff to scare you.
I don't get the praise, it's a bunch of jump scares with a bunch of plot holes, and a broken up story so you don't ask things like "Why didn't the police check the homes of the missing kids?" Now, there was one decent scene with the female protagonist sleeping in a car, no spoilers, but the rest were just jump scares, nothing more.... seriously nothing more. It's really a movie you need to think about here, in fact it's better if you don't, a tiny bit of thought will make the holes glaring. Otherwise, yeah, just a bunch of jump scares and cops acting irrationally out of the blue, and people running with their arms out. That's about it.... and for some reason people love it.
"Weapons" is undoubtedly a crazy film in lots of ways and it is actually very reminiscent of director Brian Taylor's black comedy horror "Mom and Dad" (2017) at least in relation to ordinary and reasonable people suddenly transforming into inexplicably homicidal and violent killers. The intense action scenes are extremely brutal yet also magnificently well staged and that innovative opening scene with the children running outside into the night (which, by the way, is perfectly complimented by George Harrison's aptly titled song "Beware of Darkness" ) is beautifully filmed as indeed is this entire film, but the scene does have the potential of becoming problematic at best principally because it is so immediately intriguing and now the challenge is clear: can the remainder of the film possibly be equally as good? Well, what the remainder of the film amounts to is sketchy and vague to such an extent it leaves the viewer in a state of puzzlement with more questions than answers and really only guess work and speculation to determine just what it all means and in this way it makes you think about what you have just watched and that in itself is no small achievement these days.
