Late Night Shopping 

"THANK YOU, Zach Creggar!" Back in 2022, this now established star in the horror film genre gave us the quirkily creepy, unexpectedly funny (at times!) cinematic gem that was "Barbarian". It felt like a cool breeze just washed over us as, for ONCE, the much traversed roads these films tend to go with got an upgrade of uniqueness without sacrificing the ambiance of uneasiness you desire. Well, I at least desire this, given that's the form of these movies I prefer.

In my opinion, we’re living in a very strange but thrilling cinematic year—especially for horror. While many other genres feel like they’re simply coasting, horror is out here delivering peak storytelling, standout direction, and some of the most emotionally and thematically rich screenplays we've seen in a long time. From Sinners to Bring Her Back to the unsettling resurrection of Final Destination: Bloodlines, the genre is flexing. And now, right at the start of August, Zach Cregger’s Weapons has arrived, hitting theaters alongside juggernaut superhero franchises—but unlike those 200-million-dollar spectacles, this film chooses eerie restraint and deeply human fear over bombastic CGI.
