In the town of Maybrook, on a nondescript school night, at precisely 2.17am, 17 children from the same school classroom woke up from their slumber, left the cover of their blankets, ran out the doors of their homes, into the cover of night and never returned home.
This includes Archer Graff (Josh Brolin), the father of one of the missing children, who becomes obsessed with Justine. The situation escalates when police officer Paul Morgan (Alden Ehrenreich) is pulled in due to his relationship with the increasingly suspicious teacher.
Those familiar with Zach Cregger’s Barbarian from three years ago will know what to expect with his latest film. Just like it, nothing is ever as it seems with Weapons.
Films that attempt this manner of storytelling and getting the viewer engaged are rarely able to pull it off successfully, but Cregger does so masterfully, effectively cementing himself in the very “a comedian before, a prodigious horror filmmaker now” elite field that is only occupied by one other writer-director: Jordan Peele.
There has not been a more perfectly paced horror film in modern times than Weapons. There is no lull in Cregger’s story nor direction. Each “chapter” that breaks up the stories of Justine, Archer, Alex, Paul and school principal Andrew Marcus (Benedict Wong) are pieces that fit into the grander puzzle that involves forks, scissors, twigs and tufts of hair.
Even as Halloween is creeping right around the corner, with more horror films on the way, Weapons stands and will continue to do so, uncontested, as the best horror film this year and possibly the best film to convey the parasitic nature of the elderly on the younger generation. The way the film is engineered, from the ground right up to the excellent sound design, deserves a full theatre experience.
Weapons is playing in cinemas.
