Tom Jorgensen IGN Movies A righteous, fully actualized genre-bender in which writer-director Zach Cregger hones Barbarian’s blend of unbearable tension and dark humor to a new level of razor-sharpness. Rated: 9/10 Jul 30, 2025 Full Review Chris Tilly Dexerto Weapons does everything a good horror movie should... it grips, confounds, terrifies, and provokes in equal measure, while also managing to entertain for every second of its runtime. Rated: 5/5 Jul 29, 2025 Full Review Lyvie Scott Inverse 'Weapons' is as haunting and cerebral as it is almost cartoonishly funny, producing a cocktail of emotions nearly as disarming as the film itself. Jul 29, 2025 Full Review Rachel Ho Exclaim! Beneath the visceral moments of violence and the gory imagery, writer-director Zach Cregger offers up a film that speaks to the dangers of groupthink and the hive mind, especially as it pertains to young people. Rated: 8/10 Jul 28, 2025 Full Review Mike Manalo Geeks of Color Overall, Weapons is a great time at the cinema and a well-made horror movie. Rated: 8/10 Jul 28, 2025 Full Review Eric Eisenberg CinemaBlend It’s intimate while also being epic, it’s scary while expertly utilizing humor as punctuation, and even the most dedicated cinephiles will be rocked by its surprises. Rated: 5/5 Jul 28, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
