- Rick Aragon @ Rick’s Texan Reviews
- Excerpt: Weapons is an effective horror film, if a bit long. In a weak year, Weapons is one of the better films that I have seen.
- Alex Bentley @ CultureMap Dallas
- Excerpt: There are a lot of different filmmakers who can churn out middling horror movies, but Cregger now joins someone like Jordan Peele in making consistently interesting films that also deliver the goods when it comes to scary stuff.
- David “DC” Bolling @ DC’s Take
- Excerpt: It might not be the scariest movie of the year since there’s more to it than being straight-up horror. However, its unique approach can get under your skin and thoroughly entice you with its mystery.
- Gregory Carlson @ southpawfilmworks.net
- Andrea Chase @ KillerMovieReviews.com
- Excerpt: Cregger has produced a film that is creepy, intelligent, and with a damnable ability to make us laugh when the terror has been amped up to 11.
- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: The build-up is far more intriguing than the eventual revelation of just what caused those kids to disappear in Zach Cregger’s follow-up to the much scarier “Barbarian,” yet the movie is still enough fun to become a pop cultural event.
- Christopher Cross @ Asynchronous Media
- Excerpt: A satisfyingly macabre experience that reinforces Cregger’s directorial voice in an ambitious pursuit for meaning from the darkness, Weapons is a colossal achievement and a tour de force for everyone involved.
- Mark Hobin @ Fast Filn Reviews
- Excerpt: An ingeniously structured mystery that had me hooked from the opening scene. With each chapter revealing new layers, it builds to a finale so satisfying it’s destined to be a classic.
- Kristian Lin @ Fort Worth Weekly
- Excerpt: Everyday Americans turn into mindless killers in this spooky, alienated horror film.
- [New] | Harrison Martin @ Flixfrog
- Excerpt: Weapons takes a lot of twists and turns and arrives a surprisingly hilarious ending.
- Mike McGranaghan @ The Aisle Seat
- Excerpt: If I had only two words to describe Weapons, those words would be: Holy s***!!
- Matt Oakes @ Silver Screen Riot
- Excerpt: Cregger delivers just about everything a genre fan could ask for with Weapons: a twisted, well-acted dark fairytale with an unforgettable villain turn. It’s truly one of a kind – ambitious, unafraid to swing for the fences, and packed with ideas. Easily one of the bests of 2025.
- Jacob Oller @ The A.V. Club
- Excerpt: Weapons confronts the primal fear of loss with a nasty sense of humor, shocking imagery, and an elegantly assembled ensemble.
- Nuno Reis @ Antestreia [Portuguese]
- Excerpt: Um dos poucos filmes de terror bons a estrearem este ano e um dos poucos filmes que ainda arrisca fazer diferente e fugir às velhas ideias. Precisamos de alguns assim todos os anos.
- Jeff Schaefer @ The Marquee Topic
- Excerpt: Writer/director Zach Cregger exploits the suburban anxieties in a town still reeling from a recent tragedy in his sophomore feature, Weapons.
- Andrew Wyatt @ The Take-Up
- Sebastian Zavala @ MeGustaElCine.com [Spanish]
- Excerpt: It’s one of the most creative, unpredictable and at times (well, at one time) gory films I’ve seen this year, proving that Zach Cregger is someone we should never underestimate.
