The setting is ruptured by the puzzle of the fate of 17 children from the same third-grade class who rose simultaneously in the dark and disappeared into the night. Barbarian director Zach Cregger tracks the viewpoints of multiple people searching for answers in this powerfully affecting and deeply disturbing movie.

The questions with a complex puzzle are always whether that narrative momentum can be maintained, and if the experience is ultimately worthwhile. At its core, Weapons succeeds greatly. Once its grand finale falls into place, it feels predictable yet exciting, ideally structured to refute potential criticisms of disappointment. Once the frights fade, there are remaining uncertainties about the specific purpose this story needed a various viewpoints.
