The horror genre is getting more movies this year, especially with the upcoming Weapons, coming out in 2025. According to Medium, the film’s director, Zach Cregger, shared insight on the film, “More ambitious in almost every way… not just in terms of budget. The story is weirder and twistier and bigger. I have way more actors to fit into this thing. The set pieces are definitely bigger. It’s just a bigger, weirder movie than Barbarian is… I promise you, when you watch it, you will agree with me. It is.”
He added, “It’s melancholy, yet it has comedic situations. The sky is regularly cloudy, yet the scenes are colorful. It’s a sprawling ensemble, but the characters are fully developed in their own worlds… I just like that kind of unapologetic, ‘This is an epic.’ I love that movie. I love that kind of bold scale.”
