The first teaser for New Line Cinema’s upcoming horror Weapons was already unsettling enough, but the movie’s latest trailer makes it seem like writer / director Zach Cregger is about to leave us all terrified once again.
Though Weapons’ new trailer doesn’t explain why an entire classroom of young children suddenly go missing one night, it does give us a clue about where they wind up and why the entire situation makes their teacher, Justine Gandy (Julia Garner), feel like she’s losing her mind. Justine doesn’t seem to know why her students are the only kids to have vanished, but Archer Graff (Josh Brolin) and all of the school’s other parents are certain she has something to do with the disappearances.
It’s clear from the trailer’s shots of the missing students sprinting through the streets at night that they might not actually be dead, per se. But there is obviously something alarming going on that keeps Justine and Archer up at night. It’s also still hard to say how Weapons might directly connect to to Cregger’s Barbarian, which is probably a sign that the new film will throw us for a loop when it’s in theaters on August 8th.
