Weapons (Zach Cregger, August 8, 2025) Movie • Page 19

Listen, you didn't have to answer, but I appreciate that you did.

 

Each theater could have one of those soundproof sex boxes in the corner, but inside is a toilet and a monitor that’s also playing the movie

 

I can hold my pee but sometimes I don’t want to. I didn’t pee during this film.

 

“Soundproof Sex Box” is my favourite Stone Temple Pilots song

 

If there wasn’t a conversation about the bathroom habits of every poster in a movie thread on chorus.fm, was it actually a movie thread on chorus.fm

 

I think knowing now who and what Gladys is will help a second viewing for me because I won’t go in with any preconceived notions or expectations. Initially when the first teaser was dropped and the marketing was mostly just these eerie, unsettling ring camera videos of kids Naruto running through the street in the middle of the night, I had thought maybe the mystery would end up being cosmic horror and that the childrens’ disappearance would remain unresolved. When I saw the second trailer it became a lot clearer that this strange looking woman and her little bell was most likely the culprit, but I think I was still hoping for some cosmic horror element to it. So to find out in the theater that, no, it’s actually a witch and the kids are all alive (which was also given away in the trailer because they literally show them crashing through the window in pursuit of Gladys) was a bit of an adjustment.

 

I think we can drop the spoiler tags since this is out

I really love imagining this as, like...a Blair Witch extension.

 

Just throwing this out there but not being able to make it through a movie without peeing led me to realize how frequently I was urinating which also led to me going to the doctor and discovering I had diabetes.

 

So do we think those customers were pissed that the door was the wrong color and the house wasn’t finished

 

I’d be so pissed if I saw that trailer. What the fuck!! That would ruin everything.

filmmakers need more control over trailers.

 

Terry Tate, office linebacker shit

 

I never want to wade into the “when do we stop using spoiler tag” waters so I’m happy to do whatever everyone’s comfy with lol.

Can you imagine if, back when Blair Witch had a sequel greenlit and then we got Book of Shadows, this had been the sequel instead? That’s a thought.

 

Feeling obligated to say that Book Of Shadows was at least an interesting premise. Leaves ambiguous if there was really something occult happening or are they just losing their minds? I enjoyed it, anyway.

 

I'd sooner revisit BoS than the reboot.

 

I will die on the hill that the Blair Witch rebootquel was actually pretty good

 

This fucking ruled. Buildup was spooky, payoff was bananas, really worked on almost all fronts for me.

I do agree w marx&rec that the situation with Alex’s family was slightly clunky. They did a solid job papering over it with the scene of Gladys sending the kids into the woods, but I don’t think it’s totally off base to say that the setup suggested something different about his situation and the whole plot working relied on subverting that a bit with some conveniently shoddy policework.

All that said, it didn’t really matter to my enjoyment of the movie. It was fun as hell and made sense enough and the structure was handled masterfully. One of my favorite conclusions to a horror movie ever.

 

it isn’t imo but the ending sequence is insane

 

Yeah I’m glad I didn’t see whatever trailer some of you saw. Just saw the original trailer maybe twice.

 

Knew I wanted to see this after seeing the poster and the teaser of the kids running into the dark and avoided everything after that. Sounds like I’m glad I did

 

Sometimes before a movie I get dinner and drinks, and sometimes also buy a drink at the theater. They make me pee. So sometimes I have to pee during a movie and sometimes I don’t.

 

I agree with Nayman that the AR15 above the house is the best and most indelible image in the entire movie. It’s the one that made me sit up.

 

Very haunting moment

 

The absolute dumbest take I have see on this movie thus far was

"I don't like that the movie was called Weapons and nobody besides the cop had a gun. Where were all the weapons??"

 

Greaaaat story don
