Horror fans in India have a new reason to celebrate as Zach Cregger’s Weapons makes its digital debut. The film, which was a major summer release in 2025, is now available on JioHotstar. Known for its gripping plot and high production values, the movie was one of the year’s most successful horror titles.
The narrative focuses on the disappearance of 17 children from the town of Maybrook. In a chilling sequence of events, the children wake up on a Wednesday morning and run away, vanishing into the night. The film explores the mystery behind this mass disappearance and the evil forces at play in the small town.
The film stars Josh Brolin and Julia Garner, two powerhouses of acting who bring significant depth to their roles. Garner plays a teacher who falls under suspicion, while Brolin takes on a pivotal role in the unfolding drama. They are joined by a cast that includes Cary Christopher and Amy Madigan, ensuring strong performances across the board.
The production of Weapons was a major investment for New Line Cinema. The studio paid $38 million for the film, winning a bidding war against Universal. The film repaid that investment by grossing $269.1 million globally, ranking just behind Sinners as the top horror film of 2025.
JioHotstar’s release of the film includes a social media campaign highlighting the mystery and suspense of the plot. The platform’s Instagram post invites viewers to uncover the truth about Maybrook. With its release, Weapons is set to be a top choice for streaming entertainment this weekend.
