Featured reviews
Or is it? Right from the start we do realize there is more to it than just a simple game. So with that overshadowing the next section of the movie (viewer being ahead of our main character/heroine), it is up to the actors and the dialog/script to keep us on our toes and make this entertaining nonetheless.
And the movie succeeds in doing so. I guess it could have been even better in some respects, but overall this is really good. The characters make sense (in their own universe) and the story is coherent enough (even if you may disagree with that statement during the end - I think the joke works quite well ... but that's me). Not for the faint hearted for sure ...

Never seen a movie so dumb and so smart at te same time.
So dumb cause well just read the story it's almost ridiculously stupid but at the same time so smart cause it knows what it is: pure fun entertainment. It never takes itself too seriously, it often jokes about its nature and it plays with it constantly especially with over the top dialogs and grotesque characters that fit perfectly into every, absurd, situation.
Situations where the lead character, the spouse (that Samara Weaving plays with tons of charisma), acts exactly how we all would have done even with smart decisions that rarely in an horror a protagonist takes.
The intelligence of this movie is its awareness of how to work perfectly, with enough weirdness, enough absurdity, enough charisma, enough blood (so much blood) and this makes it a very fun, enjoyable experience.
It is a great thriller with a good dose of comedy. It doesn't set out to be taken seriously, it is just a great hour and a half of fun. Just a great watch. Give it a chance; I would love to watch more titles like this one.
It doesn't waste time with useless background, we all know what we need right from the start and that's it. After that, it's just a fun ride.
Samara Weaving is the absolute best, she mixes fear, irony, humor and toughness like no one else. Loved her in The Babysitter and in this one.
Just go for it.

This was a good bit of fun. Dark comedy with plenty of gore and an explosive ending. Still filled with bonehead decision making, as one would expect with a horror type film.
Samara Weaving does well as the bride, and surprisingly does not just turn into some random badass with a mystery background complete with combat training.
Think 'Knives Out' mixed with 'The Hunt' and voila, you have 'Ready or Not'.

I don't even know where to start. I loved this movie! The idea felt fresh, the actors were amazing. Although it had its slow moments there was always something around the corner.
Although hilarious and horror is something you usually wouldn't think to put together it just worked, reminded me of the original nightmare on elm street.
The lead actress was great (especially at the end which was one I did not see coming and boy was it great). I do have to say in my opinion the star of the movie was Adam Brody, he played his character perfectly and just as you'd expect delivered some of the best/most sarcastic lines. I have recommended everyone I know to go see this movie. Glad I saw it in theatres and will definitely be buying it so I can watch it at home!

- TriviaSeventeen different versions of Grace's wedding dress were created by costume designer Avery Plewes to show the progress of Grace's night and how her clothes correspond to her attitude.
- GoofsGrace incapacitates Stevens and then drives off in his car. While the car company rather quickly shuts off the car, she does spend a few minutes driving away, presumably at high speed (based on the engine noise). And yet after she stops, Stevens shows up almost immediately. There would be no way for him to reach her that quickly on foot.
