Weapons

2026 Academy Award winner for Best Actress in a Supporting Role (Amy Madigan).

This twisty original thriller was the talk of the summer, impressing critics and audiences alike with a Rashomon-like take on a suburban American genre story. When all but one child from the same grade-school class mysteriously vanishes on the same night, at exactly the same time, a community is left questioning who or what is behind their disappearance. Emerging director Zach Cregger (Barbarian) uniquely builds suspense through perspective-shifting chapters, each one more mystifying and terrifying than the last—until the arrival of the film’s best effect: Amy Madigan’s audacious, Oscar-winning performance as Aunt Gladys.

"Cregger’s twisted fairytale is not only the best horror movie to come out of an already impressive year for the genre, but Weapons is a positively terrifying, heartwrenching look at a struggling community."
Megan Garside, Total Film
"It is a short jump from laughing to screaming. There is no safe space. Cregger has a refined sensibility for identifying the core irritations in ordinary life and amplifying them into anxiety, escalating to terror."
Bradley Gibson, Film Threat
