Guy Lodge Observer (UK) Cregger scatters breadcrumbs generously along his darkly wooded, nettled narrative path, but even as we gradually latch on to what Weapons is doing, there’s nothing to prepare us for how wickedly it does it. Oct 7, 2025 Full Review Bill Goodykoontz Arizona Republic This is definitely a horror movie, increasingly by the minute. It’s also really funny — in places — and the finale combines horror and comedy in a way that doesn’t cheapen either one. Rated: 4.5/5 Sep 2, 2025 Full Review 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 Allison Rose FlickDirect Weapons grips with eerie mystery and emotional depth, proving Zach Cregger is shaping into one of horror's most compelling modern storytellers. Rated: 4.5/5 Oct 21, 2025 Full Review Javier Alejandro Ramos Cinencuentro The cinematography, editing, and music are remarkable, and while the ending may seem bittersweet, the overall film works, sustains anticipation, and introduces us to complex characters, some of whom are superbly performed.[Full review in Spanish] Oct 20, 2025 Full Review Douglas Davidson Elements of Madness ... often feels like a series of different ideas brought together wherein the disquiet holds as long as chaos reigns, but, once brought to daylight, starts to unravel unexpectedly.
