Ready or Not

This is a deeply silly premise, but they play it more or less completely straight, and with the casting and directing being this good, it comes off as a completely sincere take on something outrageous. The ending is one of the best in recent movie-goes history. I can whole-heartedly recommend this, if nothing else then for the casting.

Ready or Not (2019) is a brilliant, high-energy fusion of dark comedy and survival horror that breathes fresh life into the "most dangerous game" trope. The film excels by taking the universal anxiety of meeting the in-laws and escalating it into a literal, blood-soaked fight for survival within a sprawling, gothic mansion. Samara Weaving delivers a powerhouse performance as Grace, evolving fro...

What to think about this one... I'm not totally sure how I view <em>'Ready or Not'</em>.

For many people, envy is very natural. Others, like me, are more concerned with the lawful origin of fortunes (what matters to me is that...

**In a world of remakes, Ready or Not brings a bold new take on fun old horror.** It’s no wonder Ready Or Not’s directing duo was asked to take over the Scream franchise. This film has Scream’s dark humor dripping from every kill, every snarky one-liner, and every fully embraced horror trope. Ready or Not is a beautiful mixture of Scream, Clue, and The Most Dangerous Game, all held together by ...

Drawn out to absurdity... Predictable and long winded.

When "Grace" (Samara Weaving) marries "Alex" (Mark O'Brien) she thinks it will be the happiest day of her life. Gathered at his family's sprawling mansion, the ceremony is followed by a small dinner at which "Tony" (Henry Czerny) announces that it is traditional on such occasions to play a game. A game of hide and seek. A lethal, deadly and downright dangerous game of hide and seek with poor, unsu...

⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good solid entertainment. Nothing really special, or twisty, but a great execution (unfortunately rare these days). This is how movies like Boss Level or Wrath of Man should've been made. * Short runtime ✅ * Never slows down ✅
