Editor - Joe Murphy
Weapons editor Joe Murphy probably had no idea when he interviewed with Zach Cregger over a Zoom call that, in a relatively short amount of time, they would collaborate on not one, but two hit horror films. Regardless, Joe says that call wasn't just about getting to know each other, but also about ensuring a supportive and frank collaboration; key ingredients for him in being able to articulate the director's vision effectively. Weapons unfolds in chapters around six main characters, which presented a unique challenge in introducing new characters multiple times throughout the film. According to Joe, the key was finding the balance between familiarizing the audience with these characters while maintaining narrative momentum.
Zach Cregger's Weapons follows the seemingly inexplicable case of seventeen children from the same classroom who mysteriously run away on the same night at the same time, having been apparently abducted by an unseen force.
