Whoa! What a fucking head bender of a movie this was. It sucks you in right from the beginning and just gets more intense as it goes a long.

It does leave a lot of questions unanswered but it sure is worth the ride!

    Yeah, agreed. I was just trying to think of horror that isn’t scary. Weapons was a lot of fun. Unlike something like The Ring, which scared me to death.

      See, I have never really thought any horror movie has actually been scary. Spooky, sure but the ones that take themselves too seriously just feel try hard, as I struggle to suspend disbelief sufficiently to be properly scared. I love movies like weapons specifically because of how it validates that instinct. The scariest things about this world are often also ridiculous or absurd, so movies which manage to capture the intersection of that conflict really hit home for me.

        I don’t generally get scared, but there have been a few that have genuinely scared me.

        The Conjuring, The Ring, Sinister, The Descent and Paranormal Activity are all the movies that have genuinely scared me. Outside of Sinister, I’m not sure any of those would scare me a second time.
