Ready or Not co-directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, as well as screenwriters Guy Busick and R. Christopher Murphy, have crafted a deliciously wicked little yarn of a horror comedy that mostly delivers on the blood, guts, and laughs you’d expect a film like this to have in spades.
Some movies just need to make good on the promise of their premise, and Ready or Not leans into the novelty of its concept. The film follows newlywed bride Grace (Samara Weaving) as she’s hunted down by her new richer-than-rich in-laws, and despite a slow start, culminates in the bloody-as-hell finale you find yourself rooting for.
The first half of Ready or Not struggles to elevate itself above its premise, with the script doing little to separate itself from a routine horror flick set up. Grace makes for a typically oblivious hero as she prepares to join the Le Domas family by marrying Alex (Mark O’Brien) in their enormous mansion.
