One of the greatest strengths of Cregger's ambitious script is its abject refusal to connect every dot in the manner that so much 'elevated horror' has done in recent years. Still, it's not overly difficult to read the inciting incident of Weapons as a school shooting allegory.

If you enjoyed the bonkers roll out of The Substance, chances are you'll like this. It all makes for a winning watch, with more layers than your average scare fest and a twinkle in its evil eye.

How communities often conjure up convenient boogeymen to blame, rather than confronting the things that actually endanger children.

The eeriest camera angle in damn near every scene, whether it's overtly shocking or insidiously banal.
