Verdict: Despite the frustrating structure and slow pace, Weapons is an intense horror that builds towards a wild finale

When 17 schoolchildren from the same class disappear into the night at the same time, the parents point their fingers towards their teacher.

Zach Cregger established himself as a horror director to watch with 2022’s Barbarian, and now he’s back with his next highly anticipated feature, Weapons.

His film revolves around a fictional Pennsylvania community that is rocked by the mysterious disappearance of 17 schoolchildren at Maybrook Elementary School.

All but one of the children in Miss Gandy’s class woke up at 2:17 am, left their homes and ran into the night. What happened to them? And why was Alex Lily (Cary Christopher) left behind?

Naturally, the parents want answers, none more so than grieving father Archer Graff (Josh Brolin).

Convinced Gandy (Julia Garner) knows more than she’s letting on, he begins his own investigation into his son’s disappearance.

Meanwhile, Gandy, who has been given leave from school for her own safety, starts to do some digging of her own to clear her name.

You may remember that Cregger split Barbarian...
