Aunt Gladys (Amy Madigan) is key to the big mystery and metaphor to ‘Weapons’—here’s the twists, turns and ending of the hit horror film, explained.

The music in Weapons does it right. It’s not too complicated, it builds suspense in the best way, and it’s memorable. That is literally all you can ask nowadays in the world of horror. And I genuinely hope other horror movies move in that direction.

Horror is flying at the 2025 box office, but scary movies have been on the up for a long time. Weapons and Bring Her Back are just the latest success stories.
