Weapons Ratings & Reviews
The Travers Take
Peter Travers
Zach Cregger's frightfest is a movie with pain at its core that uses the supernatural to examine the very real reasons why humans turn against each other. The actors are tops, especially an award-caliber Amy Madigan who makes scary weirdly wonderful.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
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.
NPR
Justin Chang
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.
Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube)
Mark Kermode
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!'...

Dwight Brown
You never know where their vanishings will lead. You never know until the script is ready to tell you. Supreme storytelling.
The Atlantic
David Sims
Weapons is the feel-bad, feel-good movie of the year -- a rare horror masterpiece that leaps beyond its genre without abandoning its sick, sad heart.
Autostraddle
Kayla Kumari Upadhyaya
Horror films often slash the picturesque portrait of American suburban life, but Weapons is at its best when it takes this one step further and really looks directly at the ways communities can tear themselves apart when focused on the wrong things.
Filmspotting
Adam Kempenaar
Cregger explores the way pain consumes and controls us, how it can be weaponized, and the collateral damage it causes.
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
Cregger's screenplay is one of the best of the year and brings to detailed life every one of these characters while addressing grief and group think, although none of these themes outweigh the thrust of his fable-like storytelling.
Chicago Reader
Kyle Logan
Weapons spends most of its runtime in the same funny, scary, mysterious, and thematically-legible-without-being-too-overt sweet spot as...Barbarian. Unfortunately, its final section drags the whole movie down by insisting upon audience hand-holding.
TIME Magazine
Andy Crump
Weapons is a feast; there's light to dispel darkness in the climax, though Cregger adjusts the dimmer slightly to avoid illuminating the whole picture.
The Ringer
Adam Nayman
A supersized showcase that, sadly, spreads its maker's gifts thin. It's a curious and frustrating example of how, sometimes, more is actually less.
Pop Culture Happy Hour (NPR Podcast)
Linda Holmes
It is sort of viscerally and upsetting movie, but I found it to be one that earns that feeling, especially because I think the performances are so good.
Los Angeles Times
Sergio Burstein
Cregger has probably created one of the best films of the year, beyond any genre or trend and the use of some scenes that defy credibility. [Full review in Spanish]
Detroit News
Adam Graham
"Weapons" is a weaponization of the summertime thrill ride.
Houston Chronicle
Cary Darling
It nimbly keeps the audience off-balance, becoming a dizzying experience in which the viewer is never quite sure what's coming next.
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
Facile sensationalism cuts the movie off from its own most powerful implications, blocking any view of a recognizable world.
Wall Street Journal
Zachary Barnes
Once Mr. Cregger starts to let loose his revelations, though, disappointment creeps in, and the scale and soul of the film shrink before our eyes.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Bilge Ebiri
Cregger stays true to the glancing, elliptical nature of his narrative.
Los Angeles Times
Amy Nicholson
"Weapons" is an even grander statement of disorder-by-design. A compellingly sloppy tale, it splices together a half-dozen protagonists and no heroes - these six spiraling victims never grasp the full story behind the violence.
