I’ve never experienced such hysteria while watching a horror film. The twisted premise, haunting, methodical manifestation of horror and mystery had me suspended by curiosity. I was shaken by despair and fear at once, then caught between laughing and crying in surprise. Cregger confronts the traumatic reality of experiencing the jolting loss of someone incredibly important while also making the movie humorous. Weapons was a story that grounded me because behind the fictional tragedy was a real-world truth that is still hard to believe is real life.
