The film “Weapons” is about children who get abducted by a witch for nefarious purposes. The movie’s main promotional image depicts mind-controlled children running towards their witch handler to be exploited. The Academy loved that.

There is more to this movie than a weird old lady doing witchcraft. It is a metaphor for the occult elite’s control over society. And, in a relatively veiled manner, the movie depicts the “farming” of children and their exploitation for youth-preserving purposes. Indeed, although not spelled out in the movie, the witch’s core motivation revolves around the extraction of blood (or maybe adrenochrome) from children to be extracted in her old, decrepit body. Hollywood loves this theme. The movie The Substance is also based on this concept. And it also won Oscars.

When the witch rings her little bell, she takes control of the person.
On the bell is engraved an enigmatic symbol: An inverted triangle with the number 6. While the symbol’s meaning is never explicitly explained in the movie, it can be inferred rather easily. Triangles have three sides. Combined with the number 6, you get 666 – the number of the Beast. In other words, Gladys is inhabited by a Satanic force.
