Director Zach Cregger has revealed which aspects of his new film, Weapons, are based on real life, and while the story itself is riddled with witchcraft and supernatural horror, there were some very real inspirations behind the gripping tale.<\/p>\n
With a solid 95 per cent on Rotten Tomatoes, and reviews calling it the 2025’s Conjuring, Weapons is already shaping up to be one of the leading films<\/a> of the year. That, along with Sinners<\/a> from earlier this year, proves that studios should be spending more time on original horror<\/a> flicks – but that’s another article entirely.<\/p>\n “When all but one child from the same class mysteriously vanish on the same night at exactly the same time, a community is left questioning who or what is behind their disappearance,” the film’s official description reads.<\/p>\nRight, so is Weapons a true story?<\/h2>\n
