Weapons, 2025 - ★★★½
This movie could’ve easily been one chapter shorter but, despite the beautifully filmed and acted slog, it does have one hell of a final 30 minutes that made it all worth while. It also has a good entry into my “solid object gets thrown into someone’s face” top ten list. Oh and it does get major points for having a lot of genuinely well timed humor in it and that is REALLY hard to pull off in a horror film like this. While laughter in a horror film is often ill-gotten, this definitely earned its outbursts from the crowd. Which is always fun to experience to share with strangers.
In the end, my spouse said “well, that was fun” when we got in the car, and I agree.
