… THE ENDING. No spoiler, but great ending. Fiabesque, but dark as fairy tales may be, grotesque and yet even fun. To sum up, Weapons is a perfect example of where horror movies are moving towards in the past years: not just scare machines, but allegoric representations of evil, society and life.

😶 In a nutshell:
Great movie
very well directed
> 5 quite scary scenes
incredibly shot.
The POV shifting makes the audience active and eager to disentangle the skein. The balance between music, ambient sound and silence locks the spectator in from scene one up to…

🎬 A bit Adolescence, a bit Hamelin’s Pied Piper, in my opinion Weapons finds a perfect balance between horror and thriller, fantasy and reality, fear, sadness and even fun (not that much though). Oh btw, it was a great new entry in this list. 👇

🖊️Plot: as you can see in the picture above, seventeen children from the same class wake up simultaneously at 2.17 AM.
They go out from the bed, run off in the darkness and disappear.
Following different characters, from the class teacher to a policeman, the spectators slowly unveils the mystery. 👇

🤯 PLOT TWIST

🍿 I also talk about movies here hehehe

Last night I finally watched Weapons (2025), horror movie whose director Zach Cregger already scared the shit out of me with Barbarian (2022).
Second best horror movie I’ ve watched this year so far.
Score: 27/30 (Italian university grades)

By employing the spatial position of olive trees in the Salento subregion in Italy, we defined a network structure on top of them and hence applied and tested our models to this real life, spatial scenario.

For the case study, a brief parenthesis is needed. In the last decade, Puglia region suffered from a very strong and devastating epidemic of the bacterium Xylella fastidiosa, which infected and killed several MILLIONS of olive trees.

In the containment scenario, where epidemic and vaccination evolve simultaneously, we found that both strategies perform slightly similarly in reducing the impact of the diseases, but block vaccination exploits fewer resources.

In the preventive scenario, where the vaccination occurs BEFORE the epidemic takes place, Ring outperforms Block vaccination, reducing the size of the epidemic and, in some case, even preventing it from happening.

We derived a set of equations ruling each of the process and tested them on a set of synthetic networks, proving an excellent correspondence between theoretical and simulated results in all the scenarios considered.

In this work we defined a new set of models for vaccination strategies on networks.
To put it simple: given a node, its neighbors can be vaccinated up to (Block) or exactly at (Ring) R contacts away. Vaccination can then occur before or during an epidemic spread.
