Weapons 2025, oh my gawwd..This poor kid… got bullied, watched his mom and dad frozen and going through the worst things right before his eyes, had to personally feed them along with the bullies and his parents, and they even tried to kill him… all thanks to his ugly, psycho aunt… and on top of all that, he never missed a single day of school!! 🙂💔 This is the kind of movie you either love or hate, and I loooooove it!
My Honest Thoughts and Rants
I have to say, this is not your typical horror movie. It’s not about being scared of ghosts or monsters but about how people are scary. Was I confused at the beginning? Yes, because I thought it was a cult, or maybe supernatural, or even aliens. But then it was clear that it was some kind of voodoo shit.
I was so confused at first, but by the third person’s point of view, I started to understand it. What’s even crazier is that from the beginning of the movie, it was hinted to us who the witch is. The witch wanted the children, I think, for their health and youth so that she could get better. When she said Alex’s parents did not cure, it reminded me of the Hansel and Gretel story of the witch wanting the children. Oddly funny also.
This movie is kind of crazy. I was laughing right after screaming! This is the kind of movie that you shouldn’t watch or read anything about to really enjoy it.
The Most Disturbing Quotes from Weapons
This movie is so good. It kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time. My heart was racing the whole movie. Here are some of the most memorable quotes from this brilliantly disturbing movie.
“A weapon is only as good as the hand that holds it.”
This quote, said by the villain, is the central theme of the film. It perfectly captures the dark and philosophical nature of the movie.
“You can’t have one without the other.”
A quote that is repeated throughout the movie, this line highlights the duality of good and evil. It’s a key line that shows us that the line between hero and villain is very blurry.
“The more you try to fight it, the more it will consume you.”
This line perfectly captures the psychological horror of the film. It’s a great piece of dialogue that shows us the terror of being trapped in a situation you have no control over.
“We all have a choice. We can either be the weapon or we can be the shield.”
This quote, said by one of the main characters, is a great one that really stood out. It perfectly captures the moral of the story.
“There’s a thin line between genius and madness. And you, my friend, are walking on the tightrope.”
This line, said by the villain, is a fantastic one that gives the villain a sense of purpose beyond just being a bad guy. It’s a chilling quote that shows us that the villain is not just evil, but also brilliant.
Why the Quotes in Weapons Hit Hard
Weapons provided a new reason why you should never trust old people. Honestly, I enjoyed watching this movie. It got me emotional, laughing, tensed, and on the edge of my seat. I think it may benefit from some more explanations like “why,” but it was really fun to watch and really well-directed. The camera movements were incredible.
This movie is about more than just a scary story. The father of the main bully seeing the M16 weapon above his house might be a symbol of this whole critique on the use of weapons in the USA and school shootings. It reminded me a lot of how school shootings occur because it’s the same motives and the same type of events.
If you love movies with psychological twists, you might also like my take on The Sandman quotes or the messy character arcs in The Hunting Wives quotes. You can also find more of my movie quotes here.
Final Thoughts & Your Theories
The ending was so camp and funny to me (the running scene, LOL). Josh Brolin stole the movie for me. He was so good in his role. Am I the only one who thought this story is told by an unreliable narrator and is basically a child making things up, or telling it from their own perspective about an event? I love how each point of view became more and more intense. It kept me on the edge of my seat the entire movie.
What about you? What are your theories? Do you think the story is told by an unreliable narrator? And what about the M16 over Archer’s house? And the triangle and the number 6 engraved on the witch’s bell? Drop your thoughts in the comments!
