>I am ready. I had it kind of in my pocket before the movie came out. It’s real and I’ve been talking to Warner Bros. about it. There’s a story and I’m pretty excited about it. It’s not bullshit.https://www.worldofreel.com/blog/2025/9/22/zach-cregger-says-rumored-aunt-gladys-prequel-is-real-and-hes-excited-make-it
>>214730511i watched this movie on the weekend and it was the biggest piece of shit i have ever seeni feel like i am being psyopped, why are even critics praising this trash? everything from the acting to the editing to the script was pure dogshit
>>214730547fpbp.
Horror movies be like "imagine an old woman" and that's it
>>214730511>>they ripped off nic cage's longlegs villainI bet they wanted nic in their shitty witch bitch movie
>>214730547I tried watching it 10 minutes ago and didn't make it far. Abysmal stuff.
>>214730547most interesting new movie I've seen in a while personally. Really appreciated that the cast had no annoying black people in it.
I, for one, welcome the weaponsverse
>>214730953>nothingburger dialogue >comedy skit acting >nothing happens >Wong arguably more annoying than blacks I pity you.
This movie has bad pacing, cinematography, lighting, set decoration, and foley work. The soundtrack, both original work and the licensed music, was poor as well. Wardrobe was terrible and I wasnt happy with the key grips work either. Location scouting was shit too.
>>214730953I'm pretty sure it's just the reflexive "everything sucks" 4chan mindset. It wasn't great at all but people really lay into it on here and I'm not sure why.
>>214731106It's borderline unwatchable. Granted, I'm a bit tired, but the flaws are glaringly obvious. This is coming from someone who enjoys jank like In the Lost Lands and didn't even dislike KPop Demon Hunters.
Physiognomy check on this guy?
>>214730547I thought it was a decent horror movie, but it’s being blown out of proportion for how great it is. It’s getting the Longlegs treatment, but is a much better character-study horror movie than that.A prequel might be kino tho, it could be like the VVitch but from the POV of the actual witch terrorizing the family
>>214731106yeah I wouldn't say it's great either. But I give it a thumbs up for sure
>>214731281PCP addict
Just saw it, incredible film
I loved it.
>>214730511prequel set in the 1600s-1700s with non-linear ye olde scenes
>>214730511
>>214734798I'm glad dys happened
>>214730511I'd enjoy more witchery but I feel like a prequel's not going to be very good. I don't really want to see her origin of becoming a witch. The reason Weapons worked so well is because of how long things were grounded, so the weird magic shit stood out more. A prequel with her as the focus just sounds like it's going to ruin everything everything unless they do some Alien to Aliens shit where it's mostly magical bullshit going on constantly and is a wildly different movie. Going to hope for the best since I did really enjoy Weapons but I'm not expecting much
>>214734865>her origin of becoming a witch>a wildly different movienigger, she's centuries old. she just took over glady's identity.
>>214730511Already seen it. One of my favorite movies.
>>214734894You don't know that.
>>214735022It says kino right on the poster, surely it must be.
>>214735142media illiterate nigger, she referred to tuberculosis as a 'touch of consumption'.literally nobody born in the 1900s uses that term.even if you didn't know about the meaning, the scene with the principal practically stops just to emphasize on her using the term, you snailbrain.
>>214735242rude
>>214735242>she referred to tuberculosis as a 'touch of consumption'.>literally nobody born in the 1900s uses that term.That was a pretty comedic scene and it did show her age. But you should be flawed for using the idiom "media literacy".
>>214730547>it was the biggest piece of shit i have ever seenPeople still they say this unironically?
Is there a gun monster in this?
>>214730547Longlegs is the same, utter fucking dogshit that people pretended was a masterpiece.Weapons is literally just 80% filler and relies heavily on idiot plot. Literally the only character that actually matters is the dad, nobody else, not even the teacher.
>>214731106>people really lay into it on hereDo they? People here have been sucking off this piece of shit since it's release, even in this very thread.
>>214730511I don't know what talmudic ploy got people to watch this crap, but I'm willing to bet that most of the victims of this scam won't pay a dime to watch another iteration.
>>214735536lol kind of.
>>214730547I mean, people are praising the way the story is being told from different character perspectives. The horror-thriller bar is low, so weapons is getting good reviews for that sole reason. Imo weapons was a decent movie, but its definitely overrated online. Its like a 8,2/10 movie
>>214737583>it's definitely overrated online>8,2/10brother gave a movie with a 7/10 imdb score an 8/10 score and calls it overrated
>>214737627In my scale, 8 something is enjoyable. Weapons was enjoyable despite its flaws and its cookie cutter horror plot. The movie characters were interesting enough that carried the whole thing to the end.
>>214730511Great film, not knowing anything about the villain was the best part. Don't fucking ruin that.
>here's your terrifying demonic entity
>>214737686Sounds like a 6 to me.8 is a movie that's very good, notable, iconic, something that adds to the minds of those who view it and is remembered and recommended for years or even decades after release but held back in certain ways that keeps it from being amazing or one of the greats in its genre (around a 9) or something truly stupendous that elevates film as a whole (approaching 10).5 is perfectly mediocre.
>dude weapons fucking sucks it wasn't scary at all>did you see that fuckin mirror bro in the conjuring it was all spinning and shit dude that was scary as fuuuuuck!!!1!!
>>214730953>>214731106>>214731307>>214735022>>214737697>>214737686You don't know the difference between a good film and a bad one. You probably don't have any taste of your own and your opinions are shaped by critics and e-celebs.
>>214737771good films are ones that I like
>>214730547>biggest piece of shit i have ever seenget real, fag. you either need to see more than 20 movies in your life or stop being such a contrarian. it had flaws but holy shit you sound dumb
>>214737771I don't read anything from critics nor do I watch e-celeb nonsense. Weapons is one of the best horror comedies of all time, up there with Return of the Living Dead and Braindead (as well as Gremlins and Scream, if we expand the meaning of horror comedy just a touch)
>>214737813>>214737818RLM drones
>>214737753Your list is respectable, but I have a different scale. I can give you more details if you want. The problem is that weapons is being hyped as the new it part 1 but in reality is something a but more mid (but enjoyable), like malignant
>>214737583dude, its so thin of innovation or cool stuff its a ... 6.8 /10 and i am being sympathetico
>>214735536I wonder if the name and rifle dream were only in there to trick producers into thinking they were funding anti firearm stuff
>>214737917Malignant is good, really funny, and Weapons is in a similar vein, except it:>has actual characters>a villain with a powerset that makes sense>actually tense moments>Rashomon style recontexualising of events through different perspectivesThat's why Malignant is just good, while Weapons is great.
>>214737994You're a pretentious midwit with shit taste in movies
>>214737917it part 1 was insanely mediocre
>>214738049something it has in common with Weapons
>>214737994Yeah, I enjoyed them both because they were self aware to some extent and tried to do more than the average, but I dont think they are the pinnacle of horror cinema like, idk, the original suspiria is.>>214738025Please, mr sophisticated, do tell us your top 10, or at least some of your top 10. I want to see just how full of shit you are>>214738049It was good imo. Its better than weapons, mostly because it had some aesthetic, and the clown was better than some old quirky witch as a villain.
>>214738098>Please, mr sophisticated, do tell us your top 10, or at least some of your top 10. I want to see just how full of shit you areI don't need to. Weapons isn't even in the top 5 horror flicks of the year, it's very mediocre.
>>214730511We're good, thanks
>>214738116Oh, so you are full of shit, and you cant back up your words with proof>Weapons isn't even in the top 5 horror flicks of the yearIm not aware of every horror movie that was released in 2025, but Weapons is a good watch for me. At least tell us why you find it so mediocre, if you want to save face
>>214738138>Oh, so you are full of shit, and you cant back up your words with proofI don't need to prove anything, I'm not the one shilling bad movies.
>>214730547I was fooled into seeing at the the kinoplex. Apparently it was getting fantastic reviews and the greatest horror movie of the decade. So I went with a very positive mind, and I'm also a WKUK fanboy.It wasn't terrible. First half was pretty good. Second half was atrocious. Overall a 5/10. Sorry Zach. Won't get fooled again.
>>214734798>he didnt screencap it he looked it upCHEATER
>>214738193>O hohohohn you guys suck, weapons suck, I only watch good movies>But I dont have to prove my superiority>And I dont have to talk and elaborate about this thread's topic, which is the movie weaponsI hope you know embarrassing you look with your shitposts. Clearly, you haven't seen the movie but here you are bitching like a fag itt. Its time to stop posting here.
>>214730511A nice film and I am excited to delve into this director's oeuvre. I will be watching the promising sounding film 'Miss March' tonight.
>>214738319I watched it, it's not very good. Some of us have taste and critical standards, we don't fall so easily for hype and shilling.
>>214738025And you're a smelly bumhead>>214738098I also wouldn't call it the pinnacle of horror, but I would call it the pinnacle of horror comedy, or at least very close.>>214738116The fuck else is there that's better than Weapons this year? My ranking for horrors this year that I've seen so far would be something like:>Weapons>Bring Her Back>Final Destination: Bloodlines>Sinners>28 Years Later>The Long Walk>Until Dawn>The Gorge>Conjuring Last Rites>825 Forest Road (dnf)
>>214738384>The fuck else is there that's better than Weapons this year?Final Destination, 28 Years Later, Until Dawn, Death of a Unicorn and Dangerous Animals are all better horror/comedy flicks
The teacher was the only good part in this
>>214738384you don't have very good taste in horror and just follow what critics tell you to like
>>214738435nta, but I would only argue that final destination might be better than Weapons because I enjoy its cartoonish deaths. The rest movies are lmao-tier and worse than Weapons>>214738451The teacher was probably the most interesting character in the movie, but I also enjoyed the junkie and the obsessive father
>>214738522>The rest movies are lmao-tier and worse than WeaponsShill.
>>214730953>no black pepobecause it fills mandatory diversity quota with gay white asian couple
>>214738382>Nigga just clicked the "watched" button as a proof he watched weapons, whilst still avoiding talking about the movie itself>>214738540>Casually avoids the "Final destination might be better" part, and drops a buzzword as a replyYou are convincing nobody with that lol. Please stop posting, and go back to where you come from
>>214738617The film's lack of quality is self-evident. The more interesting discussion is how certain types of horror films have become trendy with critics and midwits. If this movie was released 20 years ago it's rotten tomato score would have been below 60%.
>>214738659>The film's lack of quality is self-evidentWhat is self evident? Did you expect to see Mordor's army, or Davy Jones there or something? Either you elaborate, or Im stopping giving (You)s to you
>>214738695>What is self evident? Well, objectively;>it's not scary>it's not funny>it's obnoxiously liberal>it's overlong and needed more cutting>it uses a lot of pomp and pretention for what is ultimately a stupid and unsatisfying mystery>wypipo spooky narrative>it's badly shot in several scenes, particularly the scenes in the house where it's too dark to see anything
>>214738771Brother I hope you still have a lot of years left to grow because this is some profound stupidity.
>>214738435>Until DawnMate that film was fucking garbage, the only decent bit was the scene in the bathroom where they exploded, but the rest was so boring, so unfunny, just overall lame.>>214738510I don't follow any critics. I don't even watch trailers. You are an anus.
>>214738771>it's not scaryIts more of a thriller with horror elements in it. Its objective was to tell an interesting horror story, not to be scary necessarily>>it's not funnyI laughed when the witch realised she fucked up and the kids turned against her then chasing her all over the place>>it's obnoxiously liberalHow did you figure that out? I didnt see any kind of obnoxious preaching>>it's overlong and needed more cuttingThey could have cut some corners here and there, I agree>>it uses a lot of pomp and pretention for what is ultimately a stupid and unsatisfying mysteryThe missing children was a good plot device and the different perspectives worked well with that>>wypipo spooky narrative??? >>it's badly shot in several scenes, particularly the scenes in the house where it's too dark to see anythingIt sounds like a monitor issue. I had no problem with Weapon's image. Try to adjust your monitor's brightness or buy a better one
>>214738877>Its more of a thriller with horror elements in it.It's not thrilling either...
>>214738832My critique is accurate.People like you are part of the reason why the industry continues to decline. You praise garbage and allow the studios to keep lowering their standards.Do you really in your heart of hearts think Weapons is deserving of the 94% critical rating it has on rotten tomatoes? Get real. It's a shill campaign.
>>214739033it's zach's reward for his blood offering
>>214739033Or people like it. There isn't some conspiracy behind everything. Reality is just as boring as you think it is.
>>214739033Man there's so much garbage out there and a film actually deserving of praise comes out and you refuse to believe it. I honestly pity you. You've been conditioned to assume that every major release must be shit, but there's still good out there.If Jurassic Park, Gremlins, Predator, Robocop etc came out today you'd call it shit and claim the love for it is fake. Pull yourself out of that hole of cynicism.
>>214739061>Or people like it. There isn't some conspiracy behind everything.Critics don't just "like" something. They're active partipants in the industry who have an agenda behind their reviews. This isn't a conspiracy, many of them will admit it if you ask them.
>>214739033>Do you really in your heart of hearts think Weapons is deserving of the 94% critical rating it has on rotten tomatoes?No, but its a decent 8/10 movie. So you saw that rotten score and got so assblasted you decided to see a summary of this movie and then decided to come here to shitpost? Because this is what it sounds like. Your biggest mistake was to take the rotten tomatoes score seriously. This site has always been known to be biased.
>>214739124Yeah, some reviewers get paid off. But its bullshit to act like people genuinely liking it is a shill campaign.
>>214739124>critics>rotten tomatoes>shillsMan just stop caring what other people think and form your own fucking opinions, you lazy pleb.
>>214739070>>214739134>>214739141I bet you guys are the same morons who praised Everything Everywhere All At Once as a new classic>>214739147Fuck off you disengenuous rodent
>>214739233It was actually pretty good.
>>214739244If you're brain damaged
>>214739233>>214739244I also liked EEAAW. it was sweet.
>>214739258Get better taste, youre not cool or impressing anyone by not liking things.
>>214739233Nigga, Im the anon who says that Weapons is a decent, 8/10 movie, but I find Everything Everywhere All At Once insufferable. Now thats a heavily shilled, liberal movie. How about quit watching youtube brainrot, and start forming your own opinions? Come back when you actually have watched Weapons
>>214734894I would unironically love if she IS a distance relative of the Lillies and has just been a menace to her family since like the Gaulish tribes or something
>>214737697meh, i wouldnt mind a jeepers creepers influenced prequel
>>214739056these "ppl" think the earth is round bro dont even bother trying to explain esoteric blood cabal to them
>>214739316Bro you're a worthless subhuman praising garbage movies shilled by an industry that is actively dying because it only knows how to fellatiate itself with agitprop and can't connect with audiences anymore.You're not cool or impressing anyone by praising shit, you're degrading yourself and look like a moron.>>214739319>but I find Everything Everywhere All At Once insufferable. Now thats a heavily shilled, liberal movieSo is Weapons, it's the same thing. Same liberal ideology, same overrated 90+ critical score on the tamato website only to be forgotten in a few months.
>>214737931no actually it felt 6.8 esque during it but when its said and done and over its a 5.8/10 : mediocre and those who think its mediocre will see it in this score AND people who liked it will focus on the .8 rounded up as a passing grade and that should be satisfying for them.
>>214738771>wypipo spooky narrativewhat the actual fuck are you talking about bro
>>214739443No im not. Youre not cool by hating on everything, its so boring.
>>214739443what is the liberal ideology of Weapons?
>>214739233>I bet you guys are the same morons who praised Everything Everywhere All At Once as a new classicNever even bothered watching it
>>214739516Dunno, but I do know that if you go and look up 0/10 reviews on letterboxd you get people complaining that the film is anti-lgbt/women for some reason.>Sandy Hook AIDS JabberGreat title
>>214739506I don't hate everything. I hate overrated garbage, particuarly the "elevated" horror slop that Weapons belongs to. >>214739516>what is the liberal ideology of Weapons?It's basically a big satire of middle class white suburbia America (a republican voting block)
>>214739593>leftists are mentally ill and delusionalWoah!
>>214739443>Same liberal ideologyWhat? How? Dude stop allowing jewtubers telling you what to think. From what I understand, weapons is about old people weaponizing younger generations and using them as a meat shield whenever push comes to shove. If nothing else, weapons is anti boomer.>That rifle in the obsessive father's visionCould be something about gun regulation? About priming younger generations for war?Idk. It does feel out of place because it fails to fully convey the message it's supposed to convey>EEAOIt has been years since I have seen it and have forgotten most of it, but all I remember is that this movie depicts a Chinese immigrant family trying to come to terms with the american progressive ideology, judging from what they face in the movie. Also, the le gay dildo jokes, the le sausage finger multiverse, and the le everything can be solved with le empathy.Both are quite different in their philosophy and you my nigga either missed the point in both of them, or just saw some breadtuber's thoughts about them and adapted that opinion>be forgotten in a few monthsThe only thing that you posted that is correct. Weapons might be good, but its not good enough to be a memorable movie. For example, Terrifier movies are worse than weapons, but they are more memorable because they are more shocking and are the only horror movies in recent memory that had a sense of visual aesthetics. If I had to bet, I would place my money on Art the clown.
>>214739033RT rating is just recommendation to watch. so the movie can be a 6/10 or a 10/10
>>214739593lol. this is evidence that this movie is post-woke to me. i've noticed a lot of seething. it's because it was a normal movie with a white cast and a competent blue collar father, and no obnoxious DEI hires. >>214739605I thought it was a movie about grief and alcoholism.
>>214730547It was good and I thought it was a bold choice to cast Forrest Whitaker in every role.
>>214739443Zach Cregger only fellates himself on Saturdays.
>>214730547It was praised because it hit the DEI checklist. Start paying attention that they praise according to the politics of the film.
>>214730547i liked how everything was a different shade of barf or graythe OP picture is nowhere to be found in the movie, she looks gray orange in the actual scene
>already doing lame IP like Resident Evil>already planning a dogshit "prequel" ideaHe's cooked. 2 original movies and already tapping out lol. Pathetic.
>>214738617there was a giant floating gun hologram mystery box, the movie was trash
>>214730547It was too comedic. Usually you say a movie takes itself too seriously. Well this movie doesn't take itself seriously enough. It's not campy like Evil Dead. It's just stupid especially the ending. I don't know why it's rated so high.
>>214740237this is the garnerfag isnt it
>>214730547A solid FROSTED TURD/10
How does one scene in a movie that otherwise has zero correlation cause so much devastating asshurt?You fags wear that shit like a badge of honor, god damn.
>>214742485>Resident EvilI'm really looking forward to this. He's got just the right mix of camp/horror/comedy to adapt RE in my opinion. I want the aesthetics and stupidity of RE4 in a motion picture. Basically a self aware live action anime.
>>214740237>>>/wsg/5979209
>>214737771Like the other anon I don't watch any critics or ecelebs. You seem big mad though maybe you should kys about it?
>>214740237don't listen to him, creggers wrote the screenplay to cope with trevor moore dyinga lot of the dialogue is basically just him projecting his thoughts about having lost his best friend into the mouths of the characters
>>214730511Horror, to this day, is made on the cheap, relatively, as I understand it. What does this mean? It means they can spend more $$$ on astroturfing campaigns, paying bots, paying shills, critics, etc. So then suddenly you have this new and allegedly very acclaimed horror, heralded as a new classic of the genre, and it's bullshit 99% of the time. Normies who aren't horror pros don't know wtf is going on derrr duurrrp lets go see da scaaawy moobie, fuckin retards, and a contingent of horror fan midwits will watch anything that is new horror, much like capeshit addicts.
>>214743089Furthermore, part of it is that horror fans are desperate for horror that has nice production values, so when something slick looking comes along with big acting talent, they may latch onto it in desperation. But with the horrid state of the entertainment industry, anything professional looking is going to be all-around subpar conceptually. Safe bet is subpar. They're not going to risk $$$ on anything refreshing. Go read ghost stories, 'weird fiction' horror from the early 1900's. Incredible stuff. It would be very refreshing. Nobody makes adaptations of it, nobody really tries. It could be very popular, a wave of movies based on horror being written around that time, who knows. A treasure trove of material. It's just waiting there.
>>214730511A sequel could be semi interesting if they fixed the issues that plagued this film.But a prequel sounds like absolute hot garbage.
