I don't get the hype
>>215639733horror movie grading curve
Not everything is about you. Hope that helps.
>>215639733It was great
ending was awesome
>>215639733The movie is a metaphor about LGTB+ indoctrination in elementary schools.
>>215640194It's a metaphor for school shootings you dumb street shitter
>>215639733What element is Justine? If you can't answer this without thinking, you don't get cinema; you just like movies. This movie made me realize that somewhere after Barbarian, Zach Cregger went from a director to a filmmaker. On a side note that deserves Reddit spacing, I loved that Paul and James were diametrically opposed to each other like St. Paul and St. James the Just in Galatians.
>>215639733yeah i thought it was garbage too. wasn't scary at all. the director has some weird fetish for making pretend horror movies which are just really comedies but "spooky" like jordan peele ". barbarian was like that too.
>>215640219In what way?
>>21564030917 is the same number of victims from Parkland for one.
I found it really interesting she had a twig specifically for stabbing your cheeks and nothing else. I found the story of Alex rather depressing and it felt like misery porn.
>>215640170it was a reddit ending
I legit asked myself what was the point in making this movie
>>215640449>ending has payoff>le reddit endingkill yourself
>>215640417Okay, but I'd prefer some analysis regarding the characters and the events.I mean, the villain is a typical left wing deranged Karen. She is put down by the monster she herself created. She is being pursued by a a White couple. As a matter of fact, family and community play a central role in the film.There's no talk about incels, bullying or something that points to schools shooting.At least that's how I perceived it.
>>215640479Updoot!
>>215640285She was pointless.
>>215640285Imagine being an absolute faggot.
>>215640219No it wasn't
>>215640479It had payoff but also not a happy ending since the kid's parents are now comatose and the kids are permanently fucked up. Loved it
>>215640219No it's not. That would be too obvios, chud. The main idea of the movie is that the kids are used as weapons.
>>215640491>>215640309>>215640520Josh Brolin plays a bereft parent who, consumed by grief, becomes obsessed with getting his child back. Julia Garner is the teacher who couldn’t have prevented the kids from disappearing but nevertheless becomes a town scapegoat. The surviving kid is keeping secrets and complicit in the disappearances. Each of these characters is allegorical; the interpretation is up to the viewer.
>>215640532The old bitch getting ripped to pieces was awesome
>>215640906>vaguely describe the premise of the movie and common character motivations>"IT'S AN ALLEGORY ABOUT SCHOOL SHOOTINGS"umm actually it's about all those kids that were trapped in a cave in thailand.Josh Brolin plays a bereft parent who, consumed by grief, becomes obsessed with getting his child back (from the cave). Julia Garner is the teacher who couldn’t have prevented the kids from disappearing from the cave but nevertheless becomes a town scapegoat (for responsibility of the children in the cave). The surviving kid is keeping secrets (that got them trapped in the cave) and complicit in the disappearances
i liked it. i went to the movies by myself and a hot chick had to sit next to me because the theater was full mfw
>>215639733You won't meet people irl that like it, only on the internet. Make of that what you will.
>>215641183
>>215641417Granted I don't have sex. But if I were a sex haver, and I managed to do the sex with a cute girl like Julia Garner, I can't imagine a single scenario where I would wear all my clothes, including my jacket, and have her wear all her clothes, when mating pressing her into the bed. So it was very immersion breaking to see this scene in the film.
>>215641888Trips of trvth. >Mfw she keeps her bra on
>>215639733Cregger is lucky that he had to recast four of the leads and managed an upgrade on every one>Pedro Pascal as Archer Graff, ultimately played by Josh Brolin.>Renate Reinsve as Justine Gandy, ultimately played by Julia Garner.>Brian Tyree Henry as Principal Marcus, ultimately played by Benedict Wong.>Tom Burke as Officer Paul, ultimately played by Alden Ehrenreich.
>>215642064>Thanos>Silver Surfer >Wong >Han Solo It was like he raided Disney and got everyone who was sick of green screens.
>>215641183average narutofag
>>215640519So imagine being you? Never go full retard.
>>215640219It's a metaphor for feminism destroying families. Notice that evil enters the home through the woman in the film. Notice that the end result is fewer children. Notice that a witch did it. School shootings and mindless violence against others is a side effect.
>>215640302I wouldn't say it's garbage, it's moreso the typical horror movie that's not really scary, doesn't have a throughline, and not a single character changes. Garner and Brolin's good performances were basically wasted by the script
Voodoo is not scary. Simple as.
>>215641183me when someone send me the current location of the nearest jannigger/mod through telepathy
Woah so deep
>>215639733The premise was good.The trailer didn't spoil too much.It was a real movie (not some blumhouse production).
>>215642689The gun spirit felt threatened by children being used as weapon so he offered the dad guidance to uncover the mystery and stop the witch. NRA be praised!
It is completely unacceptable to have the premise of your script be completely disarmed by the most simple scrutiny. There is no fucking way in hell that the FBI wouldn't have had the house of the one boy who didn't vanish on 24h surveillance. They would have found out about the zombie parents missing work, the boy buying groceries, and basically the whole scheme in 5 minutes.
>>215641183me when I'm on a train in britain
>>215643951Maybrook is cursed and the feds know this.
>>215640219>>215640194It's a metaphor about boomers draining the life of America's youth while using them to fight their proxy wars
>>215642689That entire scene was basically shoehorned in as if didn’t fit into the story at all.
>>215642689>Movie is called "Weapons">Show a weapon>No actually it has nothing to do with guns at allWhat the literal fuck
>>215642738>>215644270>>215644239If David Lynch did it you'd all be fellating him for it
>>215644351Yes.
>>215641183I felt so bad for this guy. He was just a nice principal and the only real voice of reason and didn't deserve his death. Also, the feral wide-eyed faces of the slaves when active were surprisingly unnerving.
>>215644412He was a crust buster, he got what he deserved
>>215644412He was a homosexual
>>215644351No. And he wouldn’t do it anyway.
>>215642689Gee whiz, does this guy have some kind of problem with yacht-sized things?
>>215639733i want to fugg zach cregger
>>215641090Holy shit you might be on to something
>>215639733It just that all entertainment has such a low bar these days.Too many characters, including the entire police department being stupid. The time jumping character POVs seemed to be just to add time to the flick. Would have been better without trying to do the whodunit mystery shit. Should have tried to be either horror or comedy. It failed with both.
>>215642689Oh no, not the AR15 ASSAULT RIFLE! This is so scary!
>>215639733There's a rumor that a neighbors surveillance camera captured Trevor's final moments and that he Naruto ran and dove head first off of his balcony with no explanation.
it was fine
After years of shit something good comes out that basically why this movie is so hype.its a great movie but no masterpiece
>>215641183/pol/ when trannie mentioned.
>>215641183Linkara when Lightbringer mentioned.
>>215641183Mohammad when Zutt is mentioned
I watched Barbarian without knowing anything about it, and that's why I loved it. I wonder what this movie would have been like if I hadn't seen the spoilers about the witch on this forum.>>215642064>Justin Long as James
Ok but why does the witch make them run like Naruto?
on its own it pretty average. but I think the whole conspiracy angle some are pushing with it kind of makes it spookier
>>215641183he needed to work on his naruto run
>>215646135They're not naruto running, just to their sides at 45 degrees. If anything i'd assume it's more a reference them acting like "heat seeking missles" as brolin said.
>>215639766This, detract 2 points from every horror movie score
>>215640219Well then it's poorly done. Focused too much on the wrong characters and used the wrong magic system.
>>215642064The Dad is obsessed with getting his son back or getting some sort of revenge/closure.The Teacher is a childless alcoholic.The Principal is a fatass who eats/is involved with food in all of his scenes (except possessed).The Junkie is a junkie.The Cop is an alcoholic who relapses.
the extra perspectives added nothing and took what should have been a solid 9/10 horror movie down to a 5/10
the giant AR-15 looked like a unity asset.
>>215639733It affirms my political beliefs *claps like monkey*
>>215639733best scene in the movie
>>215639733Yeah, me neither. Everyone acts like this is the best horror movie ever when it's just an okay horror movie.
>>215639733I really liked this a lot until it went fully nihilistic
>>215640417>Reaching this hardThere's like hundreds of school shooting to choose from, literally any number works
>>215646012All movies are better when you know nothing about them before watching
>>215639766This. The bar is in hell when it comes to horror. Same with comedies which is why they all died off.
>>215642440>not a single character changesGet off this board
>>215643951That is a perfectly valid criticism however there is always a certain suspension of disbelief we need to apply to horror movies like Nightmare on Elm Street (why aren't the cops guarding the surviving kids) Or even Friday the 13th (why do they keep reopening the summer camp).
>>215649591Only real niggas got this reference
>>215646012I didnt know anything going in and it still sucked.
>>215639766>>215646311yep. saw it last night, was pretty great as a horror movie, decent enough as a regular movie
>>215642689This was definitely the worst part of what I would call a good movie. That dream sequence did not have to happen at all. Why did it even happen? Was the witch fucking with him or did the director run out of ideas on exposition and put this in?
>>215652659I must be one fake nigger then
Have you seen the shit we had for "movies" in the last 10 year?Weapons was really fucking good for a 2025 movie. It was okay/decent for a 2015 and before movie.And Julia Garner is very ugly-hot in it.
>>215653433Alcoholic Julia Garner owes me hungover sex and cuddles
>>215639733The reception it got is honestly bewildering. If it were just fun or creepy but not feeling like it really stands out in the genre that would be one thing, but it's not even fun or creepy. It's boring.
>>215652600nitpicking plot holes is what zoomers think film criticism is and it's so tiresome
>>215652974Seemed like misdirection. Like the director wanted you to think this was leading to be commentary on school.shootings.
>>215649591do americans really just wear their shoes indoors all the time?
>>215641183>Dattebayo!
>>215639733I was expecting something auteuristic, so the movie being a borderline comedy was a surprising treat.>>215652974It was worth it for Josh Brolin's, "WHAT THE FUCK?!"
>>215653158https://youtu.be/MRh91b74zTU?si=gOSKqLgcSzWn8ZW-
>>215653723True, funniest part of the movie
>>215639733Turned it off during the scene where the cop fucks the teacher.
