Weapons (Zach Cregger, August 8, 2025) Movie • Page 11

"outwardly frumpy"???

 

She had good style, cool hair and seemed to be pretty put together everyday for a high-functioning alcoholic.

 

She's very beautiful in general and I don't think being a teacher or having glasses makes you frumpy lol

 

It's also written on the markerboard in Ms. Gandy's classroom, with "parasite" and "whales." Which, I guess whales are very susceptible to parasites. I had no idea!

 

(Jk lol)

 

seems like hali meant mousy more than frumpy lol doesn’t really need to be made into a thing

 

it's just a few posts. not a thing lol

 

You can be frump in a hot way. Yeah I mean like mousy lol

Like I got a thing for librarians

 

Hali saw The Music Man when he was little and it awakened something in him

 

Waiting for the memes jokingly comparing this movie to Hocus Pocus

 

Was kind of the inverse of Barbarian for me. A movie with great tension and suspense with imo a very bad ending. Weapons I’m far less enamored with the pacing and tension building but loved the finale.

 

random shot i keep thinking about is when Donna (i think that was her name) is following Justine into the liquor store. like it’s drawn out and staged aaaaalmost to the point of being ridiculous for the sake of tension, but seeing her get closer and closer in the background with each corner turn just felt like zach having fun with the camera, and i loved it.

 

Reminded me of this:

 

This did $5.7 mil in previews. Highest preview gross for a horror film of 2025. More than Final Destination or Sinners.

 

Seated


Will have to go back two pages to catch up on all the reaction after, haha

 

seated

 

Shiiiiitttt…

That was wild, haha

 

Creepiest part for me was when Julie was sleeping in her car at night outside Alex’s house, we see the door open, we wait, and then the woman staggers outside with the sharp object in her hand, slowing walking to the car, and when we hear her off camera get in the car I was like “Oh shit…”, haha

 

Jordan Peele Parted Ways With His Management Team After Losing ‘Weapons’ Bidding War

 

Great, almost home and I realize I don’t have my wallet on me; most certainly fell out while in my seat. Time to go back….

And I think the next showing of the film has already started too, guhhh

 

'Weapons' Once Had a Whole Chapter About That Crucial, Mystery Character

 

Update: cleaning crew found it

 

The opening scene was great, but I will say I was initially bummed when we jumped right to the kids running off as the lack of context robbed the moment of a lot of fear. That being said, I love how that moment had major payoff when they later showed them all running TO Alex's house. Probably the scariest visual in the movie to me having all the context.

Loved this.

 

Fuck it, about to watch Magnolia. Think I only saw it the once when it first hit home video.
