Ready or Not

Ready or Not is a black comedy horror film about a newly-wed woman who must survive her spouse's ritual of hunting her down until sunrise. The film stars Samara Weaving, Mark O'Brien, Adam Brody, Henry Czerny, Andie MacDowell, and Melanie Scrofano, with Devil's Due co-helmers Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett directing. Every actor involved gives fantastic performances, especially as Weaving's character goes through so much by the end that you truly believe the pains she goes through. The story is well told and you have a lot of fun watching the hijinks that the Le Domas family goes through even if what they're doing is horrible. One of the best parts of the movie is definitely the ending that looks at what happens to the family when they fail the ritual and it is both hilarious and shocking. While Weaving's character, Grace, is great especially because of her performance, one problem I do have is that there are moments or things she does that's the complete opposite of what I expect but would have been smarter to do. Even with this small issue, Ready or Not is a fantastic film with such an original and unique premise. Over all: 100%
