Justin Chang NPR Zach Cregger's ingenious and exultant new horror film is like a Stephen King riff on The Pied Piper of Hamelin, and it has a wonderful campfire-tale spookiness. Aug 22, 2025 Full Review Mark Kermode Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube) It's a smorgasbord. It is a full meal of stuff and it doesn't all work, but there is enough in there that is genuinely kind of 'Oh Gosh!'... Aug 18, 2025 Full Review Dwight Brown DwightBrownInk.com You never know where their vanishings will lead. You never know until the script is ready to tell you. Supreme storytelling. Rated: 3.5/4 Aug 18, 2025 Full Review Kip Mooney College Movie Review A delightfully deranged horror film, and one you need to experience with a crowd. Rated: A- Aug 31, 2025 Full Review Harris Dang Impulse Gamer Weapons is an ambitious, well-crafted, and expansive horror experience that shows Zach Cregger is a filmmaking force to be reckoned with in cinema. Highly recommended. Rated: 5/5 Aug 30, 2025 Full Review Filipe Freitas Always Good Movies More mischievous than terrifying, Weapons thrives on its ability to both unnerve and amuse, fine-tuned to keep audiences teetering between uneasy laughter and manic delirium. Rated: 4/5 Aug 28, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
