Zach Cregger's second feature Weapons has been one of the year's most impactful horror movies. We take a look at what makes this alternately serious and silly movie tick, and why it's been received with so much enthusiasm. What can we make of the loaded, potentially subversive symbolism at play in the film, and how does it tie in to the already-iconic villain?

Also includes discussions of War of the Worlds (2025), Final Destination 2 (2003), Final Destination 5 (2011) and more.
