Almost as soon as it was first announced, there were rumours that Zach Cregger's Weapons – his follow-up to 2022 horror hit Barbarian – could well be one of those films.
We're now only days away from the film's release and the early reviews have more than backed up that initial hype.
Meanwhile, in our own highly-positive four-star write-up, we called it "an unnerving, riveting and thunderously entertaining horror epic".
"It was great reading that script – because you read a lot of scripts, not necessarily that are bad, but that just aren't as well designed as that one is," he told RadioTimes.com during an exclusive interview.
"So I went into it very kind of naive, which I loved, and I loved meeting him. I thought he was great. But my reaction to the script was a big reaction, given how well it was written, how well it was designed."

There's something very specific that all the characters are based on, and that was a reaction to something that happened to him in his life that was major. So when it got that personal that quick – and he was that willing to be that raw – it was very, very intriguing to me."
"The script was so clear... [and] he really knows what he wants," she said. "He has such a clear vision, he knows how to communicate but he's also extremely open at the same time, and patient and kind and all those things.
"And also he just kind of has this warmth about him that makes it very easy and trustworthy in a way that makes you feel safe – and that's very important, especially when you're acting."
"I had read this thing and had this reaction of, like... I'm not really a horror person. I don't love these movies typically. But there's something about this that's one of the best things I've ever read. And when I met with him and understood what he was writing about on this deep level, it made perfect sense."
Weapons is a film best enjoyed with as little prior knowledge as possible about the places it ends up going; a huge part of the fun comes from watching the twisty narrative unfold as the mystery of the kids' whereabouts gradually unravels.
This is something that Brolin has very much enjoyed witnessing. "I mean, that's the fun of it," he explained. "It's like when a new book comes out, a new movie is coming out. You get into it, you want to figure it out. It's a puzzle that you can't necessarily figure out.
"And obviously everybody wants the same thing. Everybody wants the film to do well. But on top of that, which I think is more my thing and more Zach's thing, is you want people to have a milestone experience that they can look back on.
"And they were like, 'Do you remember when f**king Weapons came out? That was crazy!' Like, 'I remember that, and I saw that when I was 14,' or, 'I saw that when I was 23 and all that.' I think this has that potential.”
