The movie "Weapons" is not based on a true story. It is a fictional horror film created by director Zach Cregger. While the plot includes unsettling disappearances, witchcraft, and supernatural elements that are imagined, the film is inspired by Cregger's personal grief after the sudden death of someone very close to him. The story, although fictional, incorporates emotional themes drawn from that real-life tragedy and the general issue of missing children. However, the events and characters in the movie are not based on actual true events or people. In summary, "Weapons" is a work of fiction with autobiographical emotional elements from the director's life but no direct factual basis in real events.
