Zach Cregger Reveals Sequel Idea for Hit Horror Film Weapons

Zach Cregger's horror film Weapons has garnered rave reviews and boasts a perfect Rotten Tomatoes score, centered on a chilling premise where 17 children mysteriously vanish from a small town. Despite its strong marketing and anticipation, some viewers find the film's tonal shifts between horror and humor jarring, with the main villain oscillating between menacing and comical, which undercuts the overall tension. Cregger has expressed interest in creating a sequel set in the same universe, though it is not an immediate project. Additionally, the sci-fi horror Reset, about a father confronting a monstrous entity to save his daughter from an otherworldly force, is set for release in August 2025 after winning multiple awards at the Amazing Fantasy Fest. Meanwhile, the 2009 space horror Pandorum has been reappraised as a psychological sci-fi thriller exploring human fragility aboard a spaceship, despite initially poor critical reception, highlighting its genre-bending qualities and homage to classics like Alien and The Thing. These films collectively showcase a trend in horror and sci-fi genres blending psychological tension with supernatural or extraterrestrial elements to engage audiences.
