Ready or Not

fresh

What to think about this one... I'm not totally sure how I view <em>'Ready or Not'</em>. There are elements to it that I love, things I would've liked to have played differently and one bit that I kinda hated. I'll start with the big positives: Samara Weaving and the visual of Samara Weaving. How epic does Grace look by the end of the movie? So good!…

**The evil of money, a brutal carnage and a marriage for love in a movie of ups and downs.** How many times we, common contributors, do not think of the hypothetical dark side that would like to exist in those rich families of business, politics and the arts? For many people, envy is very natural.…

**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.…

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.…

⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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 ✅

The excellent Samara Weaving is the antithesis of a scream queen. With kick-ass roles in "The Babysitter," "Mayhem," and "Guns Akimbo," she is vying with Harley Quinn as the "vixen" of modern cinema. An outrageous story with just the right balance of camp and horror, "Ready or Not" is a fun romp through the worst-ever wedding night.

Fantastic watch, will watch again, and do recommend. This is such a great crazy, survivalist premise: an average lady that just wants to marry her man gets served up into a human hunting game, and she's a bad ass. Samara Weaving nails every aspect of this role.…

I've never kept it secret that I have a personal issue with Samara Weaving, but I try to keep things like that out of my mind, and, even though I know it's impossible to be truly objective about something as subjective as art, at least attempt to be **impartial**. And bearing that in mind, _Ready or Not_ is... Okay. Pretty good even. Disappointing, if I'm honest, given the hype and the trailer, but still.…

Fun little horror-thriller-(dark)comedy that was entertaining enough and features a great performance from Samara Weaving, who has similar command of the scene like her uncle. Story-wise, not groundbreaking but as someone who generally doesn't enjoy dark comedies, this one worked for me. **3.5/5**

‘Ready or Not’ doesn’t sport as many laughs as you'd want for this ridiculous story, nor is it dark enough to be a true horror; it's just gory and violent with the occasional jump scare and anxiety-ridden scene. So while it doesn’t meet expectations or desires, it’s still a fun, thrilling, wicked romp through the blood-soaked mansion and goat barn.…

If you enjoy reading my Spoiler-Free reviews, please follow my blog :) Once again, I didn’t know anything going into the theater regarding this movie. In fact, Ready or Not wasn’t even on my watchlist until the beginning of this week. I thought it was just going to be a passable and cheap horror flick, but the tremendously positive feedback from everyone around the world convinced me to give it a go.…
