Like Barbarian, Weapons' visuals are as arresting as its story is disturbing. But the new film works much harder to show you the meaning behind its stomach-turning scares. Though the movie is peppered with more than a few solid jump scares, its most potent horror tricks are actually cinematographer Larkin Seiple's unnerving shots of the missing children prancing down the street with their arms outstretched like they mean to take flight.
