Weapons (2025)

I mean, sure, it's a very well crafted and shot film. And I'm not saying it was bad. I was interested for basically the entire length, outside of like I said Alex's chapter which for some reason didn't work as well for me. Probably because it did linger a lot longer than the rest of it. Oddly it seems like most liked it the best.

I just wouldn't call it an amazing movie. I don't get the hype. It's not a must watch movie at all. But I also don't think most people will regret watching it.

It's fine.

Agreed, if after a movie ends, if I don't immediately want to share the movie with someone, recommend it, watch it again with someone...I don't consider it a really good movie. And I couldn't really recommend someone watch this. I liked it, but then it ended and it was...over. If I watched it with my wife or friend I think they would look at me after and shake their head for wasting 2 hours of their life. I feel like these smaller scale movies are all made very well, they are interesting, it kept my attention, I wanted to see what happens, but I would never put it in my Horror Marathon list that I would rewatch a hundred times. It was a mystery movie, the mystery was over halfway through, then it ended abruptly. I am not a fan of abrupt endings. There are a ton of movies like Hereditary, which was a decent horror movie which I would never watch again for some.of the same reasons, these movies aren't in same ballpark as classics, they are forgettable. A good horror movie can still have closure and make you feel like you just watched a good movie which you would watch repeatedly over the years. The Exorcist 3 is an example I just rewatched for maybe the 100th time last week.

Mystery movies don't always mean puzzle movies. Depends entirely on how the plot is presented because sometimes they hold you by the hand and walk you through it, other times they deliver pieces and give you the opportunity to guess at how something was done or who the killer is.

But if you have no hope whatsoever at predicting reveals until the movie shows it on screen then it's not really a mystery it's a historical retelling. Which is exactly how the intro was framed with the kid telling how the story goes, the writers hid the jigsaw in the box until the turning point occurs then drop the curtain to show the completed picture. Not a twist or mystery simply the lack of information.

Fuckin edgelords

I have to agree with others who said that it started off good, maybe great with the mystery, but went full retard once the "monster" was unmasked.

Maybe a little bit better than the flying bedsheet monster in "nope" if just barely. Once the cop and crackhead get turned you can guess the rest of the movie and are probably better off just turning it off its so bad.

Godzilla minus 1 this was not.

This was also like a marvel off-season movie. It had Chinese sorcerer guy, silver surfette, Thanos, probably some lesser known too.

Ok tried watching Brarbarian and fell asleep. This guy is raking in the money

Lmao as soon as she appears the movie is complete garbage.

Witches (Not the hot kind) won't be a theatrical draw.

The worst part of the movie is her.... Just focus On resident evil please

i don't think it'll be great but i could see someone making an interesting story about a 1700s witch coven or some shit and only one witch survives by manipulating and betraying the others (yadda yadda salem witch trials), but its basically already been done a million times so its hard to see how you'd make it new

Meh, visually nice etc but a lot of weird scenes like police just accepting Gladys as his care taker with his parent obviously unfit to take care of him, and Gladys kind of just keeping him as a hangaround without any explanation

His movies are really well shot but the stories have to make everyone retarded to make it work? Between this and barbarian you want to just throw your hands up. I think the only believable characters were maybe Brolin and Garner.

The only child that didn't disappear is not under a microscope

durrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

It was interesting and could have been a contender for my favorite horror movies such as conjuring and insidious if they had done more world building and twists and actual scary

the movie made me use the word “mean” it was a mean movie and felt bad for the little dude

I laughed and was at least happy the stand in of those whack jobs on Reddit witchesVSpatriarchy got it in the end

not a waste of a watch
