New Weapons Trailer From Barbarian Director Reveals Bone-Chilling Horror You Won’t Forget

by

The complete trailer for the upcoming horror film titled “Weapons,” directed by Zach Cregger – known for 2022’s “Barbarian” – offers a more detailed glimpse into the movie. In this new production, a chilling story unfolds about a group of elementary school students who vanish on the same night in a quiet town. The star-studded cast of “Weapons” includes Josh Brolin, Julia Garner, Toby Huss, Benedict Wong, Alden Ehrenreich, Austin Abrams, June Diane Raphael, and Amy Madigan. Apart from directing, Cregger is also involved as a producer and writer for the movie. Additionally, Roy Lee, Miri Yoon, J.D. Lifshitz, and Raphael Margules serve as producers on this project.

Now, Warner Bros. has released the trailer for Weapons. Check it out below:

The film starts by a young girl stating, “this narrative is based on real events that took place in our town.” One ordinary Wednesday saw a cluster of students from Maybrook Elementary School vanish within their teacher’s classroom (Garner). The narrator reveals that at 2:17 am, the children left their beds, descended the stairs, and escaped outdoors. Following this startling incident, Maybrook descends into turmoil as parents are enraged and terrified. As the search for the kids unfolds, Justine from Garner is tormented by these occurrences. Additionally, the trailer officially announces the movie’s release on August 8th.

What This Trailer Means For Weapons

2:17 Will Likely Take On Great Importance

The complete trailer for the film, titled “Weapons,” solidifies several key storylines hinted at earlier through the teaser and initial snapshots. Notably, the narrator explicitly states that 2:17 AM is when all children exit their homes. This exact time was also displayed on a clock in one of the early movie stills. Given that the promotional materials have heavily focused on this departure time, it appears plausible that this hour could hold significant significance within the storyline.

The extended trailer offers a more detailed peek into Justine Gandy’s unique ordeal, being the teacher whose class mysteriously vanishes. Initially, we see her entering an unsettling scene of an empty classroom. Subsequently, suspicion arises when someone at a school gathering questions, “I can’t fathom it at all. Why just her classroom? Why only hers?” Later, Justine is depicted weeping in her car and tormented by nightmares, hinting at the profound impact the disappearance has on her. The upcoming film, “Weapons“, will chronicle Justine’s harrowing journey as it gradually reveals its terrifying secrets.

Our Take On The Weapons Trailer

This Could Be A Great Role For Garner

In a potential resurgence for Garner, the upcoming film “Weapons” could prove to be an impressive return to horror. Earlier this year, she was part of Blumhouse’s “Wolf Man,” which received mixed criticism and struggled financially. However, with “Weapons,” she appears to have a chance to fully display her acting prowess, exploring the complexities of a character grappling with a traumatic and enigmatic incident. I’m eagerly awaiting the performance of Garner and the rest of the cast when “Weapons” hits theaters on August 8th.
