Let’s get it out of the way up front: This piece contains absolutely no spoilers for Weapons, Zach Cregger’s follow-up to his buzzy 2022 shocks-upon-shocks horror movie Barbarian. I’m a fan of going into any movie knowing as little as possible about it, apart from the basics of genre and who made it, and that goes triple for Weapons. The entire experience is cleverly constructed, first around a central mystery, then out of a series of smaller escalating what-the-fuuuuuuck? surprises. If you can go into this movie unspoiled, you should. It’s one of the summer’s best films, and one of 2025’s best horror flicks.
