Weapons Horror Film Starring Josh Brolin Premieres August

News summary

The upcoming horror film Weapons, directed by Zach Cregger, is generating significant buzz ahead of its August 8, 2025 release, having already earned Certified Fresh status on Rotten Tomatoes. The story revolves around a chilling mystery where 17 of 18 children from a single classroom mysteriously vanish in the middle of the night, leaving the community and teacher Justine Gandy (Julia Garner) searching for answers. Weapons blends intense horror with dark humor, continuing Cregger's signature style seen in his previous film Barbarian, and features a layered narrative that raises questions about reality and perception. The cast, including Josh Brolin and Alden Ehrenreich, praised Cregger's unique vision and the collaborative atmosphere on set, highlighting the film's personal and innovative approach to horror storytelling. Backed by a strong production, Weapons was acquired in a high-profile $38 million deal by New Line and is poised to be a standout horror event this year. Critics have responded positively, anticipating that Weapons will shake up the genre with its bizarre, occult-tinged suburban mythology and complex characters.
