Few characters in Zach Cregger's Weapons have generated as much discussion as Aunt Gladys, the unsettling presence played with unnerving precision by Amy Madigan Because, while the film brims with chilling imagery and cryptic storytelling, it's Gladys who lingers most, a figure at once familiar and otherworldly, terrifying and oddly magnetic. That impact has naturally sparked[...]

As usual, it appears that studios are learning all the wrong lessons from their own success stories, but none of us should be surprised at this point. Weapons is a critical and commercial success story, and between it and Sinners, Warner Bros has managed to release two of the best and most original horror movies of the[...]

When it comes to Weapons, it very much feels like spoiling what is ultimately going on might hurt the overall viewing experience It won't break the film, probably, and any film broken because of spoilers is a bad movie, but the way Barbarian came out of nowhere really elevated that entire experience So far, it seems like[...]

One that a lot of people have their eye on is Weapons, which is director Zack Cregger's follow-up to the wildly popular and praised Barbarian We are less than a month out, and somehow, Warner Bros hasn't spoiled this entire movie We love to see it However, considering how they marketed Companion and Sinners earlier this year with a[...]

One film that should absolutely be on your radar is Weapons, the new film from Barbarian director Zach Cregger. Barbarian was fantastic and really managed to take audiences by surprise, and it seems that Warner Bros is realizing that the surprise was half of the reason that the film worked and did as well as it did. Or we can[...]

We all knew that whatever director/writer Zack Cregger decided to do a follow-up to Barbarian would be buckwild, and it seems the rest of Hollywood did too, if the bidding war for Weapons was anything to go by Warner Bros and New Line Cinema won, and this movie was recently moved up to August, so we will[...]
