Zach Cregger’s (Barbarian) new horror movie Weapons currently has a perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes with eleven positive reviews giving it a 100% Fresh score at this time, and while that will likely change as more reviews are added, the good news here is that critics are absolutely loving Cregger’s latest nightmare. In celebration, WB has released a terrifying new clip.
The most striking image from the film’s official trailer showed Benedict Wong’s character with nightmarishly bulging eyes, and that was a brief snippet from a full scene that Warner Bros. has unleashed this week. It can be seen as something of a spoiler – and it’s tagged as such by WB – but it’s a terrifying glimpse at the upcoming Weapons that’s hard not to watch.
This particularly freaky scene is also pretty hard to UN-see…
Weapons has been compared to PTA’s Magnolia and described as an epic tale that’s both unconventionally structured and “really fucked up” (Cregger’s own words).
In Weapons, “When all but one child from the same class mysteriously vanish on the same night at exactly the same time, a community is left questioning who or what is behind their disappearance.” Dive deeper into the mystery on MaybrookMissing.com.
“This is a true story that happened right here in my town. A lot of people die in a lot of really weird ways in this story. And you’re not gonna find it in the newspaper.”
The cast for Cregger’s new film includes Josh Brolin (Dune 2), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), Alden Ehrenreich (Cocaine Bear), Benedict Wong (3 Body Problem), Amy Madigan (Antlers), Austin Abrams (Euphoria), and Cary Christopher (Days of Our Lives).
New Line Cinema Presents a Subconscious/Vertigo Entertainment/Boulderlight Pictures Production, a Zach Cregger Film, Weapons. It will be distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, and released in theaters and IMAX nationwide on August 8, 2025, and internationally in August.
