Horror Movie Of The YEAR? Reviews For 'Weapons' Are Saying Exactly That, Along With a 100% Rotten Tomatoes Score So Far. Creepy Kids Disappearing Gets The People GOING!
"When all but one child from the same classroom mysteriously vanish on the same night at exactly the same time, a community is left questioning who or what is behind their disappearance."
Don't watch those trailers with the lights off. I had them running in broad daylight and still had goosebumps creeping down my arm. Admittedly I'm not even that big of a horror guy (I'm a pussy) but I can always get behind a well made trailer.
Something that gives you a small sprinkle of the entree but doesn't spoil the entire meal. And really outside of Christopher Nolan movies, feels like most Hollywood trailers give you every important story beat in their 2 minutes. Usually a solid sign of a dogshit cinema experience.
But shout out to 'Weapons' director Zach Cregger for knowing how to lure in the eyeballs, even from a scaredy cat like me. You might know him from directing the critically acclaimed 'Barbarian' but I first got familiar with him from the iconic sketch group 'Whitest Kids You Know'.
He's the PCP guy! RIP Trevor Moore.

So it's awesome to see that all these years later Zach has kept evolving his craft and is now getting praised as a legitimate Hollywood director. And with that pristine 100% RT score, he's certainly gonna be in high horror demand for a long time.

Until I started writing this blog I had no idea he'd already been tapped to reboot the 'Resident Evil' series. Sounds like horror fans are gonna be eating GOOD. And I know reviews released way ahead of a movie are generally PR slop that hold very little weight.
But there's something in the water on this one. You rarely see such consistent genuine praise like this. My scared pussy ass is already SEATED.

And if the streets are saying this movie is 'Magnolia' with demented horror vibes, I'm even more in for this experience. Respect the cock.
Did I mention it has a killer cast too? At this point there's absolutely no way this movie sucks. Fingers crossed.
Also what the hell is going on with my guy Wong?! Looking like he just landed on Mars. Damn you Cohaagen.
Not exactly a spoiler that he's gonna have his eyes bulging outta his head along with a swift Naruto sprint… But if you want an extended taste of what that will be like, they just released a 90 second teaser scene. Unsettling to say the least. Helluva Oklahoma Drill from Brolin though.
Jesus H Christ! Pooped my pants a little there. Definitely wearing diapers on August 8th. I recommend you do the same. Even for a big pussy like me, there's nothing better than a little sweaty scare during the dog days of summer.

Good luck out there folks.
