Zach Cregger’s Weapons is a masterclass in slow-burn horror, unraveling its eerie mystery through a clever, chaptered structure that gradually introduces a cast of deeply human characters. Set in the deceptively normal town of Maybrook, the film builds unease with surgical precision before erupting into a blood-soaked, chaotic finale that’s as shocking as it is cathartic. Performances from Julia Garner, Josh Brolin, and Alden Ehrenreich are uniformly excellent, grounding the surreal horror in emotional truth. With its inventive storytelling and visceral payoff, Weapons isn’t just the best horror film of the year—it’s arguably the movie of 2025.
5/5
