HAHA yeah the horde of the little buggers just trashing everything.

The ending was so satisfying seeing her getting ripped apart and the kids getting drenched in blood.

The pacing and, I want to say, editing style is so oddly familiar to me when I was watching it. Plus the ending. It feels like a WKUK sketch with budget lol

I didn’t realize it was them, until you pointed that. That it is made by a once comedy troop does not surprise me at all. I list comedy as the toughest type of TV and movies too make. So if you are good at comedy you can easily transition to drama and other genre,

I loved the 7 hotdogs reference.

Another poster in this thread pointed out that it was made by the guys who made/where the Whitest Kids U Know. I am not familiar with their work, but it doesn’t surprise me that a comedy troop/writers did well at this.

It is like the saying if you a make it in New York you can make it anywhere. If you can make it in Comedy you can make it any genre.

OH WOW! I didn’t realize Barbarian is made by the same guy. It is now top of my list to check out next.

Everything the Brolin character did was excellent, the first time we see him at home he is sleeping in his Son’s room. The amount of grief that illustrated was great.

SPOILERS for the 2025 film Weapons.

Let's see if this spoilers tag works.

e: I think this should work for most people??

Not sure if its true, but I heard it was inspired by the famous photo of a Vietnamese child running naked in the streets after the village was napalmed.

OMG it really was a great movie.

Julie Garner is one of the best.

I thought that part was great, captured the vibe of that sort of dream and foreshadowed that character later developing a mental model of what was happening to the victims. Seemed like a realistic depiction of how dreams can be involved with how we process things where it seems like mysterious nonsense in the moment but comes together later.

In an interview with The Big Picture Zach Cregger said he just saw that shot in his head and really liked it and thought it worked well so they included it, wasnt really because of anything but I was curious as to what it meant also.

Yeah that one lost me. I haven't figured out the symbolism,.

It was more about the metaphor I believe. It was kind of obvious.

I thought it was a great horror film. There's enough there to be spooky but it's not over the top with jump scares and other genre specific tropes.

Agreed it was more of a Thriller to me. I guess it could be labele d as a horror thriller.

I was horrified

It's significantly less silly. I think it walked the line perfectly because it set the vibe and then subverted it quickly and intentionally. Armies of Darkness plays as comedy from the start, while weapons is brilliant pastiche.

I wasn't sure that I wanted to watch this but now I definitely want to watch this

I really don’t know. Clearly the parents and the community is going the same range of emotions that a community that endured a school shooting has to deal with but the floating gun was a bit too on the nose.

There were so many little WKUK jokes in this movie, I loved it.

The whale tail on the classroom whiteboard in the beginning of the movie jumped out immediately lol.

It's absolutely crazy to me that you didn't hear about this movie.

HEHE, I shit post a lot but not about movies and TV shows. The poster is spot on for this movie. many parts seem comical in nature but they are off the hook messed up.

Hmm, I didn’t catch it. I need to rewatch it and absorb that.

This! Some of the best suspense I have experienced in a while on the first half, on the second half the whole thing falls apart and becomes assinine.
