New Release Review - "Weapons"

by Eric Hillis, TheMovieWaffler.com
published 2025-08-09
The art of magic is largely the art of distraction. Many of the best magicians are also very good comedians, able to keep their audience distracted with enough comic shtick that they don't notice the leggy assistant being replaced by a dummy that's about to be sawn in half. Writer/director Zach Cregger's 2022 debut Barbarian was a classic magic trick. With that film, Cregger drew us in with what we thought was its story, only to take us by surprise in pulling several rabbits out of his hat. Barbarian's distraction was very entertaining, but the magic was also impressive. With his follow-up, Weapons, Cregger once again provides a very engaging distraction, but the magic is underwhelming this time. If Barbarian was a creepy horror movie with occasional moments of hilarity, Weapons is an entertaining character-driven black comedy skirting the periphery of an uninspired horror movie.
