New in cinemas this weekend: Materialists
Weapons
Genre: Horror
Director: Zach Cregger
Starring: Josh Brolin, Julia Garner, Alden Ehrenreich, Benedict Wong
A chilling, character-driven thriller exploring the terrifying potential of everyday domestic life. Following the mysterious disappearance of 17 children from a single homeroom class in the fictional town of Maybrook, the film centers on teacher Justine Gandy (Julia Garner), who becomes the town’s scapegoat. The story unfolds in six interconnected chapters, each offering a different viewpoint. Weapons is notable for its unsettling portrayal of suburbia, turning mundane household objects into instruments of horror. Cregger complements the disturbing subject matter with sharp, often pitch-black humor, maintaining suspense without resorting to excessive exposition. Drawing narrative inspiration from Magnolia and stylistic cues from David Lynch, the film skillfully balances scares, gore, and satire while maintaining a strong emotional core. Garner’s nuanced performance stands out, navigating trauma and paranoia with intensity. At its core, Weapons is about the lurking dangers in familiar places—and within ourselves.Bloody Disgusting!+4Pitchfork+4Cinemablend+4
