This week, we review Weapons (2025), a mystery‑horror film written and directed by Zach Cregger. Julia Garner, Josh Brolin, Alden Ehrenreich, Amy Madigan, Benedict Wong and others lead an ensemble cast in a story that explores loss, supernatural terror, community paranoia, and the boundaries between grief and horror. With most of a third‑grade class vanishing under inexplicable circumstances at exactly 2:17 a.m., the film follows multiple characters—teachers, parents, police—as they grapple with what could have caused it. It raises haunting questions about collective responsibility, guilt, and the unseen forces that haunt our lives.
Is this nightmare more than just missing children, or is this horror one we’ve invited in ourselves? Listen on to find out!
Movie 1595 on Metacritic’s all time movie list.
