Well, this is all sorts of dark! Almost like an extra evil Stephen King vibe, and I’m definitely here for it – whilst hiding behind my hands. Straight from Warner Bros. and New Line Cinema, writer and director Zach Cregger, the mad mind behind Barbarian, comes a new horror/thriller: Weapons.

When all but one child from the same class mysteriously vanish on the same night at exactly the same time, a community is left questioning who or what is behind their disappearance.

Starring Josh Brolin, Julia Garner, Alden Ehrenreich, Austin Abrams, Cary Christopher, with Benedict Wong, and Amy Madigan– Cregger directs from his own screenplay, and also produces alongside Roy Lee, Miri Yoon, J.D. Lifshitz and Raphael Margules, with Michelle Morrissey and Josh Brolin executive producing – Take a watch of the new trailer now:

The filmmaker’s creative team behind the camera includes director of photography Larkin Seiple, production designer Tom Hammock, editor Joe Murphy and costume designer Trish Sommerville. The music is by Ryan Holladay, Hays Holladay and Cregger. 

Weapons will be released in the UK on 8th August by Warner Bros. Pictures
