Movies that feel likeWeapons (2025)

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.

If you loved Weapons, the closest films we have are The Medium (2021), The Wailing (2016) and Final Destination Bloodlines (2025). All three share Weapons' dread and unsettling feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum (2018).
