Weapons

A small community is divided by the mystery of the fate of a group of kids from the same third-grade class who rose simultaneously in the dark and ran into the darkness.

Central doubts with an elaborate mystery are always whether that narrative momentum can be sustained, and how the path is in the end valuable. On the most elemental level, Weapons succeeds greatly. After the climax falls into place, it feels predictable yet exciting, perfectly timed to refute potential criticisms of disappointment. However, after the scare factor, there are some lingering questions about the exact reasons the narrative required a multiple-POV ensemble approach.
