Letterboxd Review

Bonkers movie. Soundtrack, costume design, set design all add up to an incredibly immersive gothic nightmare. So many shots like are a dark fantasy painting. Loved it.

Weapons (2025)

Letterboxd Review

This review may contain spoilers. What a blast this movie was. The story was told in a way that kept it engaging most of the way through. I could have had about 30 minutes cut off (why does EVERYTHING need to be 2+ hours now?). The movie delivered in the same insane way Barbarian did before it. Thoroughly enjoyed start to finish.
