I don’t watch a lot of movies anymore. My free time usually goes to books, so when I sit down for a film, it’s because something really caught my attention. The trailer for Weapons did exactly that. It promised something dark, unsettling, and genuinely disturbing.
The movie itself didn’t live up to that promise.
Instead of feeling tense or frightening, a lot of it came across as unintentionally comedic. Scenes that should have been eerie landed flat, and moments that seemed designed to unsettle felt more awkward than scary. I kept waiting for the tone to shift into something truly menacing, but it never really got there.
The characters didn’t help. I wasn’t invested in any of them, and without that connection, the stakes never felt real. Horror works best when you care who survives. Here, I found myself detached, more aware of the setup than immersed in it.
The trailer is honestly the best part of this experience. It sells a movie that feels sharper, darker, and far more effective than what’s actually on screen.
If you’re going in expecting something genuinely frightening, you may be disappointed. This one never became the horror film it wanted to be.
As always,
