Zach Cregger’s ‘Weapons’ Trailer Teases Bizarre Deaths in Small-Town Horror Mystery

A quiet town unravels in the eerie new trailer for 'Weapons', the upcoming horror mystery from 'Barbarian' director Zach Cregger. At the heart of the chaos is Julia Garner, who plays schoolteacher Justine Grady, caught in a terrifying spiral after her entire classroom vanishes overnight, except for one student. Garner’s summer is shaping up to be massive, with 'Weapons' and her role as Silver Surfer in Marvel’s 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps' both hitting screens soon.

In the trailer, Garner’s character stands before a tense crowd of parents and townspeople. She tries to show understanding, explaining her concern over the missing children. But her words are met with suspicion, especially from Archer Graff (Josh Brolin), a furious parent demanding answers.

Soon, the chilling details emerge—each child left home at the same time, in the same unnatural way, with their arms floating stiffly by their sides. What follows is a disturbing descent into supernatural horror, with warped faces, dark figures, and a growing sense that nothing is what it seems.

What does the 'Weapons' Trailer Offer?

The latest trailer gives a deeper look into the ensemble cast, including Austin Abrams, Alden Ehrenreich, and others. While the missing children mystery sets the story in motion, it’s only the beginning. Cregger has hinted that the movie takes unexpected turns, evolving far beyond its opening premise. By the halfway mark, the story takes a wild turn, diving into unexpected and mind-bending territory that cranks the suspense up even higher.

'Weapons' is Cregger’s return to directing after the massive success of 'Barbarian' in 2022. With a blend of psychological horror and twisting narratives, this movie promises to keep audiences guessing until the final frame.

'Weapons' opens in theatres on 8th August.
