Unfilmable 81: Weapons
Added 2025-10-30 16:27:38 +0000 UTCIt's 2:17 AM. Do you know where your children are?
Zach Cregger follows up his smash hit Barbarian with a tale about perspective, societal loss, and violence. It can be a bit hard to describe what Weapons is about without giving away the plot, but being along for the ride is most of the fun.

Comments
Kaye, have you seen Lynne Ramsay’s ‘We Need to Talk about Kevin’ (2011)? I haven’t seen it for a while, but a lot of the first half of ‘Weapons’ feels very similar to that film. I liked Weapons but had a similar experience to Kaye, where I was into the horror Justine faces as a pariah but kinda disappointed that the narrative mystery was revealed so quickly to be a witch (but I do think Aunt Gladys is a cool witch)
