Cary Darling

Houston Chronicle

It nimbly keeps the audience off-balance, becoming a dizzying experience in which the viewer is never quite sure what's coming next.

Rated: 4.5/5

Radheyan Simonpillai

CBC Radio

The storytelling contraption teases, unfolds and ultimately hides how thin a lot of this actually is, how it’s not that committed to its characters, how it’s not that deep and pointed when it comes to it's themes and allegory around school shootings.

Richard Brody

The New Yorker

Facile sensationalism cuts the movie off from its own most powerful implications, blocking any view of a recognizable world.

Double Toasted

Weapons is an unorthodox horror movie. The ending is nuts!

Diario las Américas

With a play on perspectives between characters and a diachronic narrative, Weapons is like a roller coaster where, from one moment to the next, the story takes twists and turns that can make the viewer laugh, surprise, or disgust.[Full Review in Spanish]

Rated: 4/5

Writer and director Zach Cregger is at the top of his game with an almost perfect movie that may remind you of Stephen King’s good old days.

I enjoyed the movie, it was chilling, funny, and scary. I found it to do what it needed to do in terms of plot. I like how each characters’ day was connected (Idk what that’s called), but the ambiguous nature of aunt Gladys left me a bit more disappointed than expected.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

Certainly unique

It combined humor with some jump scares, and the jump scares were some of the best Ive seen in a horror movie in awhile. It started slowly but then it hits a point where its non stop fun.
