Zach Cregger's 'Weapons' Shocks Audiences: The Horror Film with a Perfect Score!
HORROR MOVIE MADNESS: 2025 IS SHAPING UP TO BE THE SCARIEST YEAR YET!
Buckle up, horror fans! The summer of 2025 is turning out to be a real scream fest, with blockbuster horror hits dropping left and right. But the most anticipated terror tale of them all? Zach Cregger's Weapons, which has already earned itself a perfect 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes!
A BLAST OF HORROR AND COMEDY
This electrifying film stars Josh Brolin and Julia Garner as they navigate a small town where 17 children from the same classroom vanish in one fateful night. But don't let that ominous setup fool you - Weapons is also packed with laugh-out-loud moments, swinging between horror and comedy with such confidence that it's left audiences breathless.
Fans can't get enough of this twisted thrill ride! "Director Zach Cregger proves once again he's a master of the unexpected. #Weapons is a slow-burn ride packed with pitch-black humor, creeping dread, and an ending that goes completely off the rails – in the best way," raved one fan.
Another devotee gushed, "Right when The Naked Gun set the bar for hardest I've laughed at all year, WEAPONS' final act friggin' cleared it. Oh, it's a terrifying Rashomon-styled horror but also funny as hell! Had me hooting and hollering like crazy."
But what makes Weapons truly unforgettable is its shocking finale that will leave you cheering, laughing, and then wincing in agony. As one fan put it, "Tense, nerve-wracking, funny, scary, funny again, disturbing... With an insane ending that will have you cheering, laughing and then wincing."
Cregger's proven his mettle as a horror mastermind with Barbarian, which sent shockwaves through the movie industry in 2022. Now, he's back to terrify audiences once more!
MORE HORROR MOVIES TO FEAR
But don't think you're getting off scot-free just yet - there are plenty of other chilling tales on the horizon! Together, starring real-life married couple Dave Franco and Alison Brie, has dropped its trailer to rave reviews from critics. The body-horror film follows a couple who move to the countryside after hitting rock bottom in their relationship, only to discover an unnatural force lurking in the shadows.
Meanwhile, the buzzworthy Do Not Enter is generating serious buzz online! This supernatural horror flick tells the tale of a group of thrill-seeking urban explorers known as the Creepers, who livestream their adventures from abandoned locations. But things take a dark turn when they stumble upon New Jersey's notorious Paragon Hotel, where legend has it that a gangster's missing $300 million fortune lies hidden.
Directed by music video mastermind Marc Klasfeld (who's worked with Katy Perry, Britney Spears, Charli XCX, and Ozzy Osbourne to name a few), Do Not Enter promises to be an unforgettable terror ride. As Klasfeld himself said, "I have waited decades to find the right feature film project to which I could truly dedicate myself."
AND THAT'S NOT ALL...
Other horror movies set for release this year include:
- The Strangers Chapter II, a sequel to the 2008 classic that will leave you sleeping with the lights on
- Black Phone 2, the follow-up to last year's blood-soaked hit that left audiences begging for more
- Five Nights At Freddy's 2, which promises to be an even scarier take on the terrifying franchise
THE SMALL SCREEN GETS A HORROR MAKEOVER
But it's not just the big screen that's getting a horror makeover - the small screen is also in for a treat! Get ready for:
- Alien: Earth, a series that will transport you to a world where humanity faces its greatest threat yet
- Welcome to Derry, a show based on Stephen King's classic novel, which promises to be a masterclass in horror storytelling
A REMAKE OF A CLASSIC HORROR Flick
And if you thought it was all about new releases - think again! A remake of the 1984 horror classic Silent Night, Deadly Night is set to hit theaters just in time for Christmas. Directed by the same team behind last year's holiday horror hit Terrifier 3, this film promises to be a bloody, disturbing retelling of the original tale.
The movie follows Billy Chapman, who witnessed his parents' murder on Christmas Eve by a man dressed as Santa Claus. After being sent to an orphanage where he was brutally abused by Catholic nuns, Billy grew up with PTSD and eventually descended into madness, wearing a Santa suit to go on a killing spree during the holiday season.
The original film sparked outrage in 1984, with parents getting it pulled from theaters. Will this remake be any less disturbing?
