The full official trailer for Barbarian filmmaker Zach Cregger’s newest horror project, Weapons, sees children disappearing from their homes in a small town. “Those kids walked out of the homes,” someone says in the trailer’s voiceover. “No one pulled them out. No one forced them.”
One normal Wednesday morning, “Every other class had all their kids. But Mrs Gandy’s room was totally empty… Because the night before, at 2:17 in the morning, every kid woke up, got out of bed, walked downstairs, and into the dark. And they never came back.”
The multi-story film reportedly touches on police corruption, generational trauma, witchcraft, blood rituals, and religious abuse in a small Floridian community.
Josh Brolin, Julia Garner, Alden Ehrenreich, Austin Abrams, Cary Christopher, Benedict Wong and Amy Madigan star in the feature. Cregger, Roy Lee, J.D. Lifshitz, Raphael Margules and Miri Yoon serve as producers.
Cregger appeared on the CinemaCon stage earlier this month to share the first footage from Weapons. During the presentation, New Line boss Richard Brener described the movie as “intriguing and unpredictable, with a nice helping of batshit insane.”
Next, Cregger is writing and directing a reboot of the Resident Evil franchise, with Austin Abrams in the lead role.
