I walked into Weapons expecting a gritty, slow-burn thriller — and left shaken, unsettled, and kind of in awe. Zach Cregger (yep, from Barbarian) delivers another sharp gut punch of a film that threads violence, grief, and paranoia into a narrative that’s anything but linear. The story unfolds across fragmented timelines and shifting POVs, following a single act of violence as it ripples through a community. There’s no one “main character” here — just broken people colliding, spiraling, surviving. Think Magnolia meets Prisoners, with a dash of surreal dread.
It’s a film about consequences, about the things we carry — literally and emotionally. Not an easy watch, but one I haven’t stopped thinking about.
