Weapons – Tuesday 18th November 2025

I’m not really into horror movies any more, but this one had rave reviews, so I figured I’d check it out.
It started off really well, but by the end, I was left disappointed. The second half of the movie couldn’t live up to the premise established in the first half.

The mystery of what happened, and how it happened, was really well executed; I wouldn’t say it was ‘scary’, but it was definitely eerie, and the suspense was well crafted.

The main problem was the reveal of the ‘villain’ and the fact that she wasn’t scary!

Also, the first half of the film is takes place mostly at night, whereas the second half is largely set during the day, which is not conducive to ‘fear’.

In the end, the film just wasn’t scary, and despite creating great moments of atmosphere and suspense, it unravelled in a way that wasn’t satisfying.

Disappointing.
