Callie Schuttera Interview of 'Weapons' on Spotlight with Kat Siggers

This week on Spotlight with Kat Siggers, Kat sits down with Weapons star Callie Schuttera for an in-depth conversation about her breakout role in Zach Cregger’s buzzy horror epic. Callie opens up about playing Alex’s mom, a character who transforms from a loving parent into one of the film’s most chilling presences, and how she approached such an emotionally demanding shift.

From unpacking the hidden grief that drives her character’s choices to reliving the now-iconic “bathroom door” sequence inspired by The Shining, Callie Schuttera gives us a behind-the-scenes look at how Weapons balances shocking scares with deeply human themes. She also shares what it was like to collaborate with her wife, director Gabriela Ledezma, through their production company Poison Pictures, and teases their upcoming dystopian horror thriller.
