Weapons

Weapons is Zach Cregger’s 2025 horror epic from Warner Bros. about 17 children from one classroom who vanish simultaneously at 2:17 AM. Written and directed by the filmmaker behind the 2022 hit Barbarian, the film unfolds through multiple interrelated storylines — a structure inspired by Paul Thomas Anderson’s Magnolia — in the fictional town of Maybrook, weaving in supernatural elements including witchcraft. Julia Garner stars as Justine Gandy, the teacher whose class disappears, with Josh Brolin as grieving father Archer Graff and Alden Ehrenreich as Paul, a conflicted local police officer. New Line Cinema secured the rights for $38 million after a competitive bidding war, and strong test screenings prompted Warner Bros. to move the release up from January 2026 to August 8, 2025.
