The trailer of Weapons, the new horror film directed by Barbarian maker Zach Cregger, dropped earlier this week and caught attention of several fans. The producers of the film Warner Bros seemed to have taken an unlikely route in promoting the film, as it has now released an unlisted video of several children running away from their homes at night without any description.

Weapons promotion begins
The two-hour, unlisted video has a series of children running away from their homes late at night, which is seemed to look like a surveillance video where the viewer himself is watching from the point of view of the camera. The video raises questions- Who is watching the video? Who is looping in these moments together?
This video was shared with the title, “2025_░_░_06:17AM.mov.”
It must be noted that the video is in line with the premise of the film Weapons, which reads, “When all but one child from the same class mysteriously vanish on the same night at exactly the same time, a community is left questioning who or what is behind their disappearance.”
