Please be aware that this review will contain spoilers; proceed with caution.
Weapons is a supernatural horror film directed by Zach Cregger, who also directed Barbarian.
Starring Julia Garner as Justine and Josh Brolin as Archer, this eerie film will have you questioning everything. In a classroom of 18 students, 17 of them suddenly go missing. Upon reviewing the cameras from each of the children's houses, the parents and police discover that the children went missing at exactly 2:17 A.M. Besides the timeframe, there are no other clues to their whereabouts or who or what took them. The teacher, Justine, is concerned about her students, and the parents believe that she has some involvement in their disappearance. The parents don't feign in showing their disgust towards her. Yet, regardless of how she is being treated, she perseveres relentlessly to learn where the missing children are being held. Archer, father of Matthew, is also out to pursue his own investigation, and in doing so, he uncovers so much more than he could ever imagine.
The film follows the interconnected story of each character, each one more twisted than the last. This film shows a depiction of alcohol abuse and drug use.
I don't consider this film a rewatch; one time was enough for me. I give this movie 7 bones out of 10!
Note
First of all, I feel that the title of this film should be another one. Although it does tie to some aspects in the film, it has your mind generating a different scenario. Perhaps that is what the writer and director intended. I don't want to say too much about the film because I know that I will spoil it for you. What I can tell you is that I did not expect to be surprised as much as I was. The plot twist was a blow to my face.
