Weapons18

Directed by Zach Cregger | USA | 2025 | 2h 8m | Starring Julia Garner, Josh Brolin, Alden Ehrenreich, Benedict Wong, Amy Madigan

In a quiet suburban town, every child from a single classroom disappears at the exact same moment, except one. As panic spreads, the community searches for answers or someone to blame. From Zack Cregger, the director of 2022 horror hit Barbarian, comes a gripping mystery that challenges social norms and reveals the dangers of mob mentality and collective paranoia.

Reviews

A hugely accomplished horror achievement, and a significant step up from Barbarian: tense, sad, hilarious, unsettling, ridiculously entertaining, and ultimately oddly uplifting.’
★★★★★
John Nugent, Empire Magazine

‘Put simply, if Weapons wasn’t the best horror movie of the year — pipping even the mighty Sinners — it would probably be the best comedy.’
★★★★★
Philip De Semlyen, Time Out

Our beautiful art deco inspired auditorium can be found just off East Oxford's Cowley Road.We are open 7 days a week. We open the cinema and box office 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of each film, and the Box Office then closes 10 minutes after the film starts. We only show a few adverts – less than most cinemas – and we only play a couple of trailers, so please don’t be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
