Weapons on imdb:

I really liked it, the narration was confusing at first but made full sense as it went along, showing different viewpoints of the events. The scare factor was good a few working jumpscares did their work and it were not too many for my taste. The gore had some quite intense moments. Thw film was heading for a full top rating from me, but then the ending was a bit to OTT and that led to unfitting humourous reactions in the audience, lowering the rating for me a bit, but I still end up with a solid 2.

PS: The title is weird, I see how it was probably meant, but it still is not very well chosen, erasing that riffle above the house in one of the dreams would not have changed much and a better title might have got a chance - not that I can suggest one...

Hallo allerseits,
Wieder ein Horrorfilm mit einer durchaus vielversprechenden Prämisse – der seine Zeit braucht um ihn Fahrt zu kommen. Am Ende zeigt sich dann, daß viel der Screentime am Anfang gar nichts mit der Auflösung zu tun hat. Am Ende ist die Lösung für das Verschwinden der Kinder ganz einfach und auch a bißchen albern. Mir hat die erste Hälfte besser gefallen, die mehr versprach, als der Film letztendlich einlösen konnte. Am Ende gibt es von mir eine „Drei“ für das Kuddelmuddel.
