Zach Cregger\u2019s \u201cWeapons<\/a>\u201d quickly became one of the year\u2019s buzziest horror movies when the first trailer<\/a> dropped in April. <\/p>\n

Now, the latest\u00a0trailer\u00a0for the new film<\/a> from the \u201cBarbarian\u201d director shows the drama (and haunting imagery) getting even darker as children\u2019s disappearances plague a small town.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0logline<\/a>\u00a0reads: \u201c\u2019Weapons\u2019 is a horror film that follows an entire classroom of children who get out of their beds and disappear one night without a trace. 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Adam<\/a> \"'Splitsville'\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

Julia Garner stars as the teacher whose entire class, except for one student, goes missing in the dead of night. Josh Brolin plays one of the many parents disturbed by the disappearances, now determined to find his child at any cost. Alden Ehrenreich, Austin Abrams, Cary Christopher, Benedict Wong, and Amy Madigan also star.<\/p>\n

Cregger directs from his own screenplay, and also produces alongside Roy Lee, Miri Yoon, J.D. Lifshitz, and Raphael Margules, with Michelle Morrissey and actor Brolin executive producing. New Line Cinema chief Richard Brenner\u00a0previously\u00a0described<\/a>\u00a0the\u00a0film\u00a0as being \u201cbatshit insane.\u201d Cregger agreed, telling Entertainment Weekly<\/a>\u00a0that \u201cWeapons\u201d is \u201cweirder, twistier, and bigger\u201d than his directorial debut, \u201cBarbarian.\u201d (\u201cWeapons\u201d is said to exist within the same universe as \u201cBarbarian,\u201d which became an indie hit in theaters in September 2022.)<\/p>\n

Cregger told Entertainment Weekly that \u201cWeapons\u201d is\u00a0\u201can incredibly personal story\u201d as well, saying, \u201cThere\u2019s certain chapters of this that are legitimately autobiographical that I feel like I lived.\u201d<\/p>\n

The \u201cWeapons\u201d creative team behind the camera includes director of photography Larkin Seiple, production designer Tom Hammock, editor Joe Murphy, and costume designer Trish Summerville. Ryan Holladay, Hays Holladay, and Cregger compose the original score.<\/p>\n

The film is a New Line Cinema, Subconscious, Vertigo Entertainment, and BoulderLight Pictures production, with Warner Bros. Pictures distributing. \u201cWeapons\u201d will also get an IMAX nationwide release.<\/p>\n

Cregger will next reimagine \u201cResident Evil\u201d with his first IP film project. <\/p>\n

Warner Bros. Pictures will release \u201cWeapons\u201d in theaters August 8.
