WEAPONS (2025) Movie Review | Maniacal Cinephile

The Maniacal Cinephile runs into this review of WEAPONS (2025). Is it the best horror movie of 2025, or an overhyped follow-up? Written and directed by Zach Cregger (The Whitest Kids U Know), Weapons is his highly anticipated third feature. But can it top his breakout hit Barbarian (2022)?

The chilling plot follows a small community in Maybrook, Pennsylvania, where all but one child from the same classroom mysteriously vanish at exactly 2:17 A.M. As parents, teachers, and police search for answers, dark secrets unravel, and the line between reality and nightmare begins to blur.

Weapons stars Julia Garner, Josh Brolin, Alden Ehrenreich, Benedict Wong, Austin Abrams, and Amy Madigan in a mystery-thriller blending horror, drama, and surreal dark comedy. With its nonlinear storytelling, shocking reveals, and haunting imagery, does Zach Cregger deliver another instant classic—or is it all hype?

Join Andy the Maniacal Cinephile for a riff-filled review, packed with trivia, humor, and breakdowns of what works—and what doesn’t—in Weapons (2025).

Directed by: Zach Cregger
Cast: Julia Garner, Josh Brolin, Alden Ehrenreich, Benedict Wong, Austin Abrams, Amy Madigan
