Weapons

This might actually be my favorite movie of the year, it hits all the notes that I want in a horror movie. Genuinely tense, terrifying moments that don’t rely on cheap jump scares, jump scares that are then earned because of the restraint from other moments, and imagery that makes you wince in pain as if you were the victim. There’s also some great performances and amazing music that elevates the tension so well. I also loved the story structure with different POVs, it kept the movie well paced and prevented it from getting stale. Overall my very high expectations were exceeded and I really believe Zach Cregger is gonna be known as one of the greatest horror directors if he keeps this pace, my excitement for his resident evil film skyrocketed after seeing this.
