Weapons Christian Review
Weapons (2025) — This horror-mystery by Zach Cregger is not just a scary movie, it leaves a strange silence inside your heart. Imagine, Maybrook, Pennsylvania — a small, slightly deserted town. At 2:17 in the night, seventeen third-grade kids disappear together. Only one kid, Alex Lilly, survives. And the strangest thing? The CCTV footage shows the kids running away with their hands extended as if someone is calling and pulling them in the dark. At first it seems that Alex’s survival is a miracle, but the real reason is deep and hidden.
In the middle of the story is Justine Gandy (Julia Garner) – a teacher who has lost her job by bearing the burden of her mistakes, and is running away from her pain. Each character comes with his own story: Archer Graff – a father who can do anything for his son; Paul Morgan – a policeman who never got rid of the pain of his old life; Marcus Miller – the principal who is trying to manage everything in the middle of this city; And James – a petty thief and drug addict who finds a secret that changes everything.
And the whole path stops at one name – Gladys, Alex’s aunt, who secretly practices black magic, stealing the lives of children in an attempt to get her youth back. This is how the film changes from a simple mystery to a spiritual war. As it is written in Ephesians 6:12 – “Our war is not against man and blood, but against the powers of darkness.”
If you watch this film from a Christian perspective, it reminds you how much pain and sin can break a person. Evil is shown here without any concealment – cold, true. But there is no peace like in the gospel. Only one way is left – James 4:7 – “Bow down before God and the devil will flee from you.” By then this movie leaves a deep mark on your heart. This is not a horror movie where you have fun with popcorn, this is a story in which the secrets of black magic and the facets of darkness are revealed and understanding becomes your final sword.
Morality: Medium – Evil has been clearly accepted but the mood of the movie is full.
Faith & Spirituality: Medium – The spiritual things are deep but the light of the gospel is not complete.
Family-Friendly: Absolutely not — don’t watch it with family.
Positive Role Models: There are a few — Justine is flawed, but she stands with the truth.
Biblical Accuracy: Medium — Roohani Jung is shown, but not the full picture of the gospel.
Overall: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ — The story is deep, the mood is intense, but the ending forces you to understand the pain and think.
This movie is not made just to scare you, it is made to shake something inside you. If you are ready, it will force you to understand the darkness in which we all fall sometimes.
