Movie Review: Ready Or Not (2019) Is A Bloody Good Thrill Ride

There have been many times that I’ve gotten my hopes up when it comes to big-budget horror movies, only to feel let down. Well, that certainly is not the case with the Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett directed 2019 horror flick Ready or Not. It left me feeling almost giddy. Few horror films give me that feeling these days. Samara Weaving stars as Grace, a bride eager to please her in-laws on her wedding day, not knowing that her wedding night would become a fight for survival. After the wedding Grace learns from her new husband Alex (Mark O’Brien) that there’s a unique family tradition, the couple must play a game with the family. She laughs as she draws the Hide and Seek card from a dealing box, but it’s no laughing matter. That’s when she learns that if she’s found before dawn, she will be killed. And chaos ensues. And you thought your in-laws were bad. Ready or Not
