Weapons is one of the biggest horror films of the year, and now it’s out and dominating both commercially and critically it’s really quite apparent why Jordan Peele allegedly sacked his entire team when he lost the bidding war<\/a> to try and get the rights. So much of this film works – from its wild marketing to its brilliant performances from its cast. One of the most striking things about Weapons is the way the kids in the film run with their arms out – it’s on the poster, in the trailer and we watch it multiple times throughout the runtime. But the film never explains why\u00a0<\/em>the kids that Gladys puts her spell on run like that.
