Weapons Earns Acclaim, Adds Ehrenreich to Cast

Zach Cregger's horror film 'Weapons' has achieved a rare 100% Rotten Tomatoes score from dozens of reviews, earning widespread critical acclaim. Starring Julia Garner, Josh Brolin, and Alden Ehrenreich, the story centers on the mysterious disappearance of 17 children in a small town, unfolding through six interlocking chapters that offer multiple perspectives. Critics have praised the film for its atmospheric tension, dark humor, and complex storytelling that blends horror with social commentary, especially around conspiracy theories and collective grief. Comparisons have been drawn to works by Stephen King and the Brothers Grimm for its blend of genre elements and cultural critique. 'Weapons' is also a commercial success, ranking as Fandango's second-best horror ticket pre-seller of 2025 and surpassing Cregger's previous hit 'Barbarian.' The film is expected to perform strongly at the box office and further establishes Cregger as a leading voice in horror cinema.
