"Awake, I rose from slumber, descended the stairs, and stepped into the oppressive darkness… And they vanished without a trace. What on earth?! Where did they wander off to?! New Line Cinema and Warner Bros. have unveiled the full, official trailer for the eerily perplexing new film from 'Barbarian' director Zach Cregger, titled 'Weapons.' This enigma remains shrouded in secrecy—no one has a clue about their whereabouts, the fate that awaited them, or the genuine happenings within this eerie town. It's described as "an interconnected, multi-layered horror saga centering on the inexplicable disappearance of high school students in a quaint hamlet."
At the unholy hour of 2:17 AM, a group of teenagers mysteriously stirred from their slumber and bolted from their beds, disappearing into the night—never to be seen again. Yet, no one knows the impetus or their subsequent fate. The stellar ensemble cast, predominantly comprising parents grappling with the whereabouts of their children and assigning blame, features Josh Brolin, Julia Garner, Alden Ehrenreich, Benedict Wong, Austin Abrams, Amy Madigan, June Diane Raphael, Whitmer Thomas, Toby Huss, and Clayton Farris as Terry. Indeed, 'Weapons' has ascended to the pedestal of my most anticipated horror film of 2025—it emanates an inexplicably disconcerting aura, promising to delve into even deeper, more convoluted territories as we collectively immerse ourselves in its narrative. The anticipation is almost unbearable.
"Those youths walked out of their homes voluntarily—no force, no coercion…" From New Line Cinema and the innovatively twisted mind of Zach Cregger, who brought us 'Barbarian,' emerges this novel horror-thriller: 'Weapons.' When nearly every child from a single class mysteriously disappears on the same night, at the very same moment, a community finds itself grappling with questions about the perpetrator or force behind their vanishing. 'Weapons' is penned and directed by the acclaimed American genre filmmaker Zach Cregger, marking his third feature following 'Miss March' and 'Barbarian.' It's produced by Roy Lee, Miri Yoon, J.D. Lifshitz, Raphael Margules, and Zach Cregger himself.
WB will unleash Cregger's chilling 'Weapons' onto theater screens nationwide from August 8th, 2025. Stay tuned for updates and follow our website for unfolding viral narratives tied to the film. Your thoughts on this intriguing preview?"
