Ready or Not (2019) - Greg - 04-14-2026
Bride marries into an uber-wealthy family and learns that on her wedding night she has to play a game decided upon by a mysterious box to be officially welcomed into the family. She thinks it is weird but, as an orphan, she really wants to belong to the family and agrees to play along. Cool except for the fact the game devolves into a hunt through the house to kill the bride.
Samara Weaving plays the bride. Henry Czerny and Andie McDowell lead the family of game players.
This film was getting all sorts of play because of the release of the sequel. It was supposed to be horror action comedy that everyone loves. Well, almost everyone. The whole film is just a take on The Most Dangerous Game, the short story I'm sure we all read. The family never really seems committed to the killings. Weaving just bumbles along until she realizes the truth of the night, then there is a lot of running and screaming. But the whole thing wasn't adventurous, funny, or scary. Although there was one really good scene that made me wince.
You can skip this. I'll probably watch the sequel for completeness.
