This Is Not a Test offers an atypical take on the zombie genre, leaning more into tension and character moments than nonstop action. The premise and storytelling are decent, though the overall plot feels a bit overdone compared to many other entries in the genre. Unfortunately, the film is held back by noticeably poor-quality zombie makeup and effects, which occasionally break the immersion.
From the opening frames, Weapons announces itself as a wild mix of folklore, frenetic action, and Haitian-inspired spirit possession. It’s rare to see a movie stitch together searing social critique (including plenty of chilling references to real community tragedy) with all the pulpy magic of voodoo, haunting supernatural rituals, and a plot that swings from kinetic horror to grounded emotion. What grabbed me most, and probably will stick with other genre fans too, is how the film conjures up its folk horror roots without sacrificing inventive fight scenes or the creeping sense of the unknown.
