Zach Cregger’s Weapons is the Horror-Thriller That Will Shake You to the Core

After turning heads and twisting minds with his breakout horror hit Barbarian, filmmaker Zach Cregger is upping the ante with Weapons — a bold, terrifying new chapter in modern horror. Cregger isn’t just chasing scares this time — he’s creating a cinematic experience that’s darker, deeper, and far more disturbing.

“I wanted to make something that felt a lot more ambitious,” says Cregger in a new featurette about his latest horror/thriller, “Weapons.”

Something Sinister Is Happening in Maybrook…

Weapons begins with an unsettling event: all but one child from the same class disappear without a trace — at the exact same time. As panic spreads through the town of Maybrook, secrets unravel and reality itself begins to warp.

The star-studded cast includes Josh Brolin, Julia Garner, Alden Ehrenreich, Austin Abrams, Cary Christopher, Benedict Wong, and Amy Madigan — each bringing gripping performances to this psychological powder keg.

Behind the Madness: Cregger’s Full Creative Force

Far from your typical horror director, Cregger took on multiple creative hats — writing, directing, producing, and even co-composing the film’s haunting score. His vision for Weapons goes beyond frights; it’s a psychological labyrinth with chilling revelations at every turn.
