Weapons (2025) is a critically acclaimed supernatural mystery horror film by Sam Fell, released on August 8, 2025, following the success of his earlier horror work, including ParaNorman (2012).
Sam Fell gained recognition in horror with ParaNorman (2012), which established his reputation for blending horror with dark humor and psychological tension. Weapons builds on this foundation, showcasing his signature style of suburban horror, character-driven narratives, and intelligent twists, moving away from conventional jump scares toward more psychologically engaging horror.
