[Drizzle]

Those bangs are psychotic.

It's giving Mark Davis.

Nominating it as a comedy/musical would be absolutely deranged.

So yeah, the Globes would probably do that.

prob best horror movie of year. Wasn’t amazing but hasn’t been a great year for horror

You're probably the only one who thinks that. Weapons, Sinners, 28 Years Later, Final Destination: Bloodlines, Together, Companion, and The Long Walk have all made 2025 a good year for the genre.

 

[Sawyer]

Yeah, it’s been an insane year for horror.

Let’s not forget the 2016 GG winner in this category, that rip roaring laugh fest, The Martian.

I need to get around to those. I’ve watched weapons, sinners, clown in cornfield, dangerous animals, monkey, wolfman, him, to name a few

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

I am absolutely down for an Aunt Gladys prequel.

Yeah, you should check those out before making such claims.

Same, she's an intriguing character and just really shows up in Weapons out of nowhere. Definitely more invested in a prequel focusing on her than any sequel.

 

[PunyGod]

disgusting question: Alex fed everyone but who was cleaning up the poop?

Also what is up with this ridiculous debate about this not being a horror movie. Are you telling me what happened with the 2 guys in their kitchen is not horror?

 

[theastsunnn]

i didnt know this was a comedy. I slightly chuckled at one scene but listening to reviews engine said how funny it was.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Yep, so much they can explore, like how did she get into whatever she was into in the movie.

 

[Steyin]

The first hour and 40 minutes was definitely worth it for the last 10.

Super onboard for a prequel.

 

[Zantera]

What would you even do with a sequel? I'm imagining Vincent D'onofrio rolling in saying they want to militarize witchcraft because there's a lot of money in it and using it on the enemy now that raptors didn't work out.

100% on board with a prequel though. I mean Gladys is the catalyst for the story and it would be interesting to see what shenanigans she got into before Weapons.

Amy Madigan Is Back in the Spotlight. It’s Making Her Nervous

Her performance as the creepily clownish aunt in 'Weapons' has relaunched her career and made her an Oscar frontrunner — not to mention the year's most unlikely Tiktok star.

[Shinobi Shaw]

Hope it comes to fruition.

Aunt Gladys and her blood magic was a hoot.

 

[OrbOfConfusion]

I feel an origin film would just ruin the mystique of what made Aunt Gladys so creepy, since do we really need an explanation? But I'd like to be proven wrong.

I feel like the third act already did that.

 

[Shinobi Shaw]

I feel like the third act already did that.

Yeah.

But still a whole origin movie could be fun. Like her Pearl.

Agreed. Took so long to get going, but that last half hour was crazy.

Simple explanation: All those years of caretaking a baseball field and ghosts in Iowa took their toll.

 

[Drizzle]

I'm here for the Aunt Gladys and Uncle Buck double feature.

 

[emielaen]

A story with her doesn’t mean they’ll just explain everything away in a boring way. It could be just more absurd shenanigans. Like Weapons.
