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.
