Horror Nerds Movie Reviews: Bring Her Back, Weapons, and The Shining.

Nick and Derral tear into THREE wild films with zero mercy: WEAPONS (2025) – The controversial new horror-comedy from Zach Cregger (Barbarian) starring Josh Brolin and a truly unhinged Pedro Pascal. Is this the most chaotic, boundary-pushing satire of the year… or did it fumble the bag completely? We debate if it’s genius or just trying way too hard. BRING HER BACK (2025) – A24’s latest mind-bender with Sally Hawkins and a creepy kid who might not be what she seems. Slow-burn psychological horror or pretentious nonsense? We break down the twists and whether it earns its devastating final shot. THE SHINING (1980) – Yeah, we’re finally doing Kubrick’s masterpiece (or is it?). Over 40 years later, does Stanley Kubrick’s adaptation still hold up as the scariest movie ever made, or has time exposed its flaws? Jack Nicholson’s eyebrows, the hedge maze, “All work and no play…” – we argue every frame. Expect hot takes, raging disagreements, and zero sacred cows. Which one survived the skeptic test?
