Movie Review-Weapons

One of this year's most anticipated horror film, "Weapons" has now become one of the biggest of the year as well. As I'm typing this, the film has grossed over $155 million off a $38 million budget. Very solid numbers for a film that is not based upon a comic book, previously adapted material and its not a remake or a sequel! 

The premise of "Weapons" is a doozy! 17 children mysteriously vanishes into the night perhaps being abducted by an unseen force! They're all from the same classroom! Is the teacher involved OR is it a group? I won't spoil it by revealing anything more. I also wish the film didn't explain everything. I guess I've been spoiled by the Hitchcock & Kubrick classics! I thought it was OK. I'm in the minority though. Many loved the switching from serious mystery & horror to dark comedy. I wasn't a huge fan of that. But its rewards outweigh the negatives. This is only Zach Cregger's second feature and he's shown he's capable of creating original cinema, whether I enjoy it or not.
