First Glance: “Weapons”

In 2022, the unexpected hit “Barbarian” demonstrated Zach Cregger’s impressive talent and potential as its writer and director. Now, Warner Bros. Pictures has unveiled the trailer for Cregger’s eagerly awaited next project, “Weapons”. This sophomore film is a chilling mystery with an engaging plotline and a talented ensemble cast. The initial teaser effectively builds anticipation for what appears to be one of the year’s most intriguing films.

Intriguingly set is the plot of “Weapons”. At precisely 2:17 AM one fateful night, an entire school class mysteriously awakes, exits their homes, and vanishes into the darkness, never to be found again. The town quickly accuses their teacher, prompting her to clear her name in this investigation. Cregger labels his film as “larger”, “stranger”, and “more convoluted” than “Barbarian”. Here’s hoping its narrative is also more unified. It boasts a strong cast with Josh Brolin, Julia Gardner, Alden Ehrenreich, Benedict Wong, and Amy Madigan in leading roles.

The movie titled ‘Weapons’ will hit the screens on August 8th. Here’s a sneak peek at its trailer. Let me know if you plan to watch it or give it a miss.
