Zach Cregger’s Dulled ‘Weapons’

The phrase “What the fuck?” is repeated often enough in Zach Cregger’s Weapons that it takes on the resonance of a mantra or maybe a motto—a veritable mission statement of disorientation. It also gets increasingly funny because we know that if the characters who keep saying it in quick succession were only able to compare notes on their respective WTF experiences, they’d be less confused. On the basis of his two solo directorial efforts to date, Cregger loves to put audiences at a disadvantage.
