Film fans are desperate to discover whether the smash hit horror flick Weapons draws from real events.

The movie centres on a tight-knit community thrown into chaos when an entire class of youngsters mysteriously disappears after simultaneously fleeing their homes during the night. Just one child shows up for school the following morning.

As the puzzle unravels, disturbing secrets about the locals themselves emerge before viewers witness the shocking truth behind the events (no spoilers from us).
