From The New York Times.

A teacher follows a student home and gets more than she bargained for in this scene from “Weapons,” the latest twisty horror film from the writer and director Zach Cregger (“Barbarian”).

The movie involves a classroom of children who go missing in a small town, save for one boy, Alex (Cary Christopher). His teacher, Justine (Julia Garner), has been trying to solve this mystery, meeting roadblocks along the way, so she decides to track Alex back to his house to see if she can learn more. As she goes to his front door, she notices newspaper covering all the windows.

Narrating the sequence, Cregger said, “It was fun to try and create the tension here by just being in her P.O.V. and studying the newspaper as she would have studied it. And also, it was really fun to play with the diegetic sound of the cicadas and crank the chorus of insects to become the score.”
