Completely overhyped movie… the trailer (which BTW was perfect!) reminded me a lot of Longlegs and the hype reminds me even more of that. Both are good movies but don’t desever the absurd PR hype. Waeapons was good with building atmosphere and the way the story is told was pretty smart and kept it interesting beyond its real content which was rather shallow and did not connect elements thriown into the plot in a satisfying way honestly. Till the resolution the movie has you interested but then its just disappointing in a way that seemes like they did not know how to get out of this.
Well made but i prefer Barbarian because that made me laugh out loud where this at most had me smirking in disbelief…. that joke with Justin Long in the middle of this movie was a great nod to Barbarian and shows how Cregger likes to fuck with the audiences expectations BTW.
Its basically the same recipe of tense atmosphere and a weird story sending you in different directions to get you confused and then just using utter absurdity bordering on comedy to make fun of the genre and itself. The final minutes is where this movie totally lost me.
