Weapons

One night, every child but one in the primary school class taught by Miss Gandy (Julia Garner) disappears. All of them ran spontaneously out of their homes in the night at 02:17, seemingly willingly and alone.

Now thirty days later with no sign of them angry parents, including Archer Graff (Josh Brolin), want to know just exactly what the now pariah Miss Gandy was teaching in that class.

Both Gandy and the sole remaining student, Alex have been questioned at length and no explanation, motive or connection has come to light.

Miss Gandy decides to try and investigate herself despite the warnings against this from affable Principal Marcus (Benedict Wong)

CW: bloody violence but very sparingly used

Wow. Zach Creggar's follow up to "Barbarian" is even better.

Again he does the thing of making vast swathes of it show ordinary believable fallible people working with a situation they are simply unprepared for. This time we get separate viewpoints for all the key players that slowly reveal the mystery but also little bits of their lives. There's a lot of levity in each section until suddenly it gets very very fucked up.

This really benefits from no spoilers so if you want to see it be careful with what coverage you read.

If you like horror then you're going to want to see this it's a 10/10.
