Receives an A- Cinemascore (horror almost always scores poorly)
Apparently Weapons is one of the great horror movies

So what's the spoiler? Too much sugar?

It’s because of Amy Madigan!
She unites the fags and the hags who love them!

"Get Out" is not one of "the great horror movies," for fuck's sake.

The plot just looks like another pissy concoction like "Hereditary."

excellent. zach is a really fresh filmmaker. barbarian was more thematically cohesive. this was more of a surreal fairytale and a comedy. weapons has to do with the death of trevor moore and zach's difficulty coping with such a senseless and tragic event. i think weapons reflects that brilliantly. the logic is slippery. something horrible happened that just doesn't make any sense, and the violent damage done is so abrupt and so permanent. the auxilllary characters represent various ways of coping with grief. the teacher bargains, and tries inappropriately to get close to other affected people that she doesn't have a relationship with. i wonder if that suggests that when trevor died, zach was compelled to get close to his spouse or other people in trevor's life that he didn't know well. josh represent anger, looking for someone to blame. the cop represents just crashing out and losing all focus and competence, he's completely uninvested in anything he's really doing. the principal rationalized and accepts everything, but continues to cope with stress through gluttony. looking forward to my second watch.
the children disappear at 0217 - this is a reasonable estimate of the time that trevor moore felll of his balcony and died. that's what this whole movie is about. i think you can't understand the film totally without lookiing into the wkuk and understanding what happened there. RIP trevor moore. sadly, he died as barbarian was in the works, and zach absolutely intended to take his comedy brothers along with him. in fact, trevor moore was probably on track to be an even bigger success.

here's zach and trevor moore laughing shortly before trevor's death - making fun of their friends because zach didn't put them in barbarian,.

i think it's a black comedy thriller, not a horror. it's a mix of camp and david lynch style surreal stress

Cinema buffs, is it better than Sinners?

I think it has the look of a graphic novel.

I’m trying to watch “Barbarian”, but I have a stubborn soup.

R13, much better than Sinners - which I thought was overrated.

Both Weapons and Sinners are highly overrated. Hollywood and film Twitter are so desperate for original films that they will hype up anything now.
Sinners was a slog during the first half, and dissolved into a silly vampire movie during its second act. Get Out was better directed and had a better story.

I saw it today and really enjoyed it. The twist was unexpected. I went in thinking psychological thriller—perhaps, but it's a fun ride. See it in IMAX.

Yeah, it's the only movie this year that isn't a fucking superhero CGI slop-fest. Of course they love it.
