‘Weapons’ movie review

By: Seng Nhkum

There are many horror movies, and this 2025 horror movie called ‘Weapons’ is very different from the rest.

Summary

‘Weapons’ is about one 3rd grade classroom where almost all the kids mysteriously go missing at 2:17 in the morning except for one child named Alex. This mysterious situation puts the small town into chaos.

The movie ‘Weapons’ shows many different perspectives of the characters in the situation, either how they were influenced, experienced, or how they were affected by the disappearance of the kids. The perspectives are a homeless person, the principal, the child Alex, the teacher of the class, a father, and a police officer. The ones who try to unravel the mystery of the disappearance are the teacher, a father, and a police officer.

Review

Overall, I rate’ Weapons’ an 8/10. I really liked how this movie showed multiple perspectives of the characters because this was the first horror movie that showed this, and it really shows details of the characters. Alex’s perspective really stood out to me because it showed his influence in the movie. For example we learn about how he ended up being the only kid that doesn’t disappear. How this happened was a twist that surprised me.

Also, I liked the suspenseful build up which made me scream because I didn’t expect things that were going to happen. I didn’t expect the jump scares.

You should definitely watch ‘Weapons’. The plot is very intriguing, and I also think you’ll like this horror movie too!

You can watch it on HBO Max and it is rated R.

Halloween costumes

By: Siri David

This Halloween there were a lot of really good Halloween costumes that I saw. Some of my favorites included Rio birds, Justin Bieber, and Serena and Blair from ‘Gossip Girl’. Now these were my favorite costumes that I saw but Halloween costumes and what’s popular change every year, so for this article I am going to be talking about what the most popular costumes were this season.

This season the top five costumes were all from the same TV show. The TV show is ‘K-Pop Demon Hunters’. This show is really popular among kids, and is the most watched TV show for kids as of right now. Rumi, Zoey, Mira, Jinu, and Baby Saja are in the order of popularity from one to five.

After all of these characters, Chicken Jockey from ‘Minecraft’ is the next popular costume.

After that it is Labubus. Labubus have become very popular among the Gen-Z generation, and can be found at lots of different stores.

Another really popular costume idea is Elphaba and Glinda from ‘Wicked’. This was seen with people of all ages, and with the new ‘Wicked’ movie coming out that makes this a lot more popular and exciting.

Overall, this Halloween we saw a lot of different Halloween costumes, some that were new ideas and some that were old ideas. Either way Halloween is a great holiday that allows people to be creative and express themselves and who they are in many different ways. A lot of the time people make Halloween out to be a holiday just for kids, but it is not. Halloween is for everyone. People just celebrate in many different ways whether it is trick-or-treating, going to parties, or being the one to hand out candy. Halloween is a holiday for everyone, and a great time of year.
