In the bona fide hit, Julia Garner plays teacher Justine Gandy, whose classroom of children disappears overnight. Immediately, she becomes the prime suspect in the small town of Maybrook, Pennsylvania. Only one student, Alex Lilly (Cary Christopher), remains in the classroom. Also starring Alden Ehrenreich, Austin Abrams, and Cary Christopher, with Benedict Wong and Amy Madigan, the film's narrative goes through many nonlinear viewpoints to arrive at its delicious conclusion. Weapons also has horror king Stephen King's seal of approval. The writer shared that the Zach Cregger film was "confidently told and very scary." Going into awards season, the film has already received love for veteran actress Amy Madigan, who is being seen as a frontrunner to gain a nomination for Best Supporting Actress. She has gotten nominations at the Golden Globe Award and Critics Choice Award.
