![]() Allow me to explain:Īlex’s extended family are a “gaming dominion.” The great great grandfather made his fortune beginning with a modest printing shop which extended into sporting goods and then professional sports teams. But why the hell would the in-laws want to kill the new member of their family? That’s where the plot gets a little stupid, in my humble opinion. ![]() So when we realize this, the horror sets in along with the thrills. In this family, there is a curse and if that curse runs it course without a sacrifice, all the family will die. That’s an important scene because this film is not about the love of a couple on their wedding day, instead it’s about the inlaws cutting and pounding the new bride’s flesh to death before sunrise (Yep, that’s pretty much true). They start to have early sex in a far off room as most newlywed couples on film do and are interrupted by a starkly frightening aunt (Nicky Guadagni). Like some horror films, it begins as a normal movie without magic or macabre elements. As time fast-forwards to present day, we find ourselves on the same property at a posh yet insecure feeling wedding of Grace (Samara Weaving) and Alex (Adam Brody). This is a fitting intro to the horror/comedy/thriller, “Ready or Not” (2019). Soon we see masked family members run in and shoot arrows into a yelping, dying man in a tuxedo. Two 10-year-old boys are running through the house playing hide and seek, but this is no ordinary game. An antique tarot-like poster of a smiling devil appears in a rich mahogany den with the opening credits: “Take a risk, gain the advantage” the sign reads below a ghastly face. (This review contains spoilers.) The year is 1983. The new couple and her in-laws must play an ancient game of dark comedy, gore, and revenge. Grace and Alex are traditional newlyweds but the ceremony given by Alex’s wealthy family is highly unorthodox. I adored all the cast members and their splendid talent, especially, Samara Weaving, who played the traumatized, and frightened bride! As for the supposable death that will befall the family if dawn arrives.A bride’s wedding night takes a sinister turn when her eccentric new in-laws force her to take part in a terrifying game. ![]() The dark humor was pretty good too, but I especially loved the acting. Tyler Gillett is excellent! I loved how the camera follows and moves with those who are running for their lives, and the still shots on lots of stuffed animal heads and pictures on the walls these shots made the film seem a bit like a 90's or 80's era film, which I appreciated. Sounds easy right? Well, not with the family armed with ancient weapons and planning to perform a ritual on you it isn't! With the bride's new husband being the only reluctant and helpful one, she must outwit, out hide, and out smart the deranged and insane clan, until a supposable curse threatens to, supposably kill the family! I made a brilliant choice to see this film! And you will too, if you decide to play the game! The direction of Mr. All she has to do, is avoid being caught by dawn. For the bride, the game is hide and seek. The game in the comedy horror film Ready or Not.is definitely one of those "worse games"! When a bride-to-be is married into a lavish, rich, and weird family, she soon discovers that they really stick to tradition.and tradition in this house, is anything but fun and games! Each time someone is welcomed into the family, they must play a game. As Katniss Everdeen said in the final book (and film) of The Hunger Games: "There are much worse games to play". ![]()
