If you liked 'Barbarian', you have to see this film in theaters, which many consider the best of the year.

Horror fans have an unmissable date this month, with one of the most talked-about releases of 2025. Directed by Zach Cregger, responsible for the acclaimed Barbarian , this new offering has won over critics and audiences alike thanks to its blend of mystery, sustained tension, and several chapters that keep the suspense going until the very end.

With a cast led by Josh Brolin and Julia Garner , the film has been shaping up to be one of the most powerful titles of the year for genre fans since its release last weekend. Weapons is a horror thriller as disturbing as it is effective: in a small town in the United States, seventeen children from the same class disappear at the same time in the middle of the night, leaving the community in a state of disarray.

From there, an investigation unfolds, fraught with tension, suspicion, and disturbing revelations, in which the main characters attempt to unravel a mystery that seems beyond reason. Weapons has stood out for its atmosphere and narrative, but also for its box office and critical reception. In its opening weekend, it grossed over $70 million worldwide and has a 95% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes .

One of Weapons ' most celebrated elements is its ability to surprise the viewer with multiple points of view , a narrative element already explored in Barbarian . Cregger plays with expectations, alternating moments of apparent calm with sequences of great visual and emotional impact. The film also has a touch of humor, which unfolds between several of the most terrifying images.

Its director has cemented his position as one of the most interesting voices in contemporary horror. His new story offers an equally intense experience as his previous work, with a more ambitious approach and an emotional component that amplifies its impact on the big screen. Weapons is still playing.
