Weapons (2025)

I guess what you’re saying is Barbarian is scary because it could be reality even if it’s crazy, whether here it’s mostly a supernatural plot.

Maybe its a bit of that but Weapons has a similarly grounded feeling with the whole policeman/junkie plotline, the long charcter development and the “villain” being what it is.
I don’t know if its a joke they are playing with the trailer making this a real dark horror movie and then playing even the jumpscares like a clown comedy but it didn’t work for me like when the sudden change to comedy appeared in Barbarian after its tensest moment.
They tried the same thing here but it was overplayed and slapstick. A lot reminded me of a Kevin Smith style horror movie but that guy definitly knows how to end his movies while Weapons did not end with anything like a bang.
