It was only as the credits rolled that I realised what Weapons was calling me back to. So it was with little surprise to learn that yes, Weapons is from the same people who brought us Barbarian, and just like that previous film it was great. In fact more than great - you could even call this Barbarian+.
The film was excellent whichever way I cut it. The acting, plot, characters, production - there wasn't any aspect which I felt was lacking. Like Barbarian (and to an extent, Companion), the mix of horror and humour was subtle and understated in a way that horror-comedies aren't. In many ways this is a film that rejects any genre you put it in.
It's August so I guess around the time one can make the call - and so for me Weapons is definitely contender for film of the year. Highly recommended.
