Weapons

Gay asian

Fat asian guy has a husband

Trying to remember Weapons

I have a hard time remembering this movie, but yeah there's some kind of gay Asian in it. I remember that. I think my wife liked this movie because of the way all the kids ran with their arms out and all. I think that was the only reason. I'm starting to remember the plot and it wasn't really that good for my likings.

Come on

This need to be a good rating site and I am not going to rate everything that has a tiny thing in it I do not like as ‘woke’.

The move is pretty good, yes, it has 1 gay couple, however, it is absolutely not forced into it, it is not obvious, does not put any focus on it, plus the gay dude headbutts the other one to death. I mean, they are not suddenly getting a ‘special’ treatment.

So for me, overal, not a woke movie.

Just a little above mid and weird ending.

It started well. Good thing the homosexual characters died. Yes, I know they didn't confirm their relationship. But judging by the guy's (who lived with Marcus and went shopping with him) hand gestures/body movement, he didn't feel like a normal "man" to me. Anyway, the ending was weird. When the witch died, everyone who was alive and under her control got free, except Alex's parents. They weren't dead (yes, they were badly injured, but not dead like the police and the homeless guy), but after the witch died when Alex was hugging them, they didn't respond. And according to the narrator, Alex got adopted by someone else.

So this was one of the top horror movies of 2025? The acting was pretty good and the fx looked good. The story isn't really that original but it's not terrible, what we get of a story anyway. Nothing is ever explained in the end, there's is no reason for anything give. This has some of the most bottom of barrel lazy bad writing I have seen in a while. Basically what you have is 17 kids all from the same class run away at 2:17 on the same night. The movie takes place over a week 30 days after the disappearance from multiple different people's perspectives that all merge together in the end. The very first one is Justine and I knew the movie was in trouble already. Why open your movie with the most irritating, annoying character that I hated right away. I started noticing
writing issues pretty much from the start. It's a little thing but characters kept saying the kids all walked off into the night, yet multiple ring cameras show them bolting out the front doors and running away at full speed. This brings up another issue, everyone has cameras now, there would be a ton of footage of these kids running down streets and through front yards all the way to the destination. Not here magically not one camera seems to exist other than the couple of plot
device required ones. It's only been 30 days yet theirs no police, no search parties, no FBI anywhere. Something like this would be national news. This town would be crawling with media not to mention all the nosy bloggers and internet types, yet here nothing, not a single one. Actually the entire movie feels very low budget, the whole town is oddly empty. Every scene is devoid of any life other than the character on screen, no background characters, no cars just completely empty backgrounds. This is also horror in the loosest sense of the word, there's a few jump scares and creepy moments mixed with maybe a handful of disturbingly bloody violent scenes but it's very few. Most of the runtime is slow moving drama to get all the characters to the end sequence. This brings me to the finale, what a letdown after all that. The final 20 or so minutes turns into a lough out loud comical sequence. I was literally laughing at how bad the ending was. For woke, as others have said there is the gay mixed race couple. It's maybe 2 scenes of them walking around together and that's it. It's never brought up or made into an issue but it's there. There is also way to much DEI overrepresentation for what's supposed to be small town PA. I would not recommend this at all.



Some spoilers follow that give more examples of how horrible the writing is......



While I don't believe their was any actual family relationship how Gladys was able to persuade, find or cloud the minds of the family is never explains or really makes any sense. She's introducing herself as the Aunt and sister of the mom to everyone including investigators, who by the way have no problem with catatonic parents sitting like zombies while the aunt just takes over the household. Nobody questions how this mid 70's woman could possibly be the sister of the 32 year old mom. An officer and squad car disappear for several days with his car sitting outside the house and the station doesn't notice? The neighbors don't notice the car for days outside the house? The parents just vanish of the face of the earth for over a month and nobody notices? No friends or work notices them missing? Neighbors don't notice they just vanish and some strange woman is now living there? A screaming man is dragged out of a car across the front lawn and into a house and no neighbors hear or see anything? Even worse, screaming, smashing around fighting and several gunshots and not one neighbor right next door hears anything. Even the child narrator at the beginning, who we never actually see anywhere in the movie and appears to completely random states the kids 'walked off into the night never to be seen again' is in the end just a blatant cheap lie by the director.
