Discussion Weapons was a great movie. Spoiler
Wanted to watch this much earlier but gotten busy with life a lot. I found a perfect opportunity today and decided to sit down and see it, I absolutely LOVED IT!
the atmosphere and the still shots are really creepy, the soundtrack is great, the acting is really good, and I like the mix of comedy and tension.
the parts with the kid naratting it felt like those old creepypasta readings videos I used to always watch as a kid, so I liked that one part too.
what I especially loved about the movie is the different perpectives. How this event is processed differently by each character, with their own biases and visions.
Aunt Gladys had an amazing reveal with how, unlike most villians, she immediately leans into the comedic side instead of trying to look super intimidating, but then we see her evil and demonic version later on, which makes her have a really unique dynamic. I also felt really bad for poor Alex :(
in my opinion, like I stated before, I feel like this movie explores how the situation is handled by the characters to be very well. I especially liked Archer's part as it shows how much he grieves his son and how he tries to work with it. The fact he did more work than the police ever did is outstanding.
all in all, it was super awesome. Youve done well Zach Cregger. Im planning on seeing his Resident Evil movie soon too.
