"The 2019 comedy-horror film centers on an unsuspecting bride, Grace (Samara Weaving), who gets caught up in her new aristocratic in-laws' twisted game night and must fight for her survival. It was ahead of its time, all considered, blending class commentary and yucky gore long before something like The Menu or Blink Twice. Weaving is a world-class scream queen, and the film ushered in what we now know to be the Adam Brody-ssance."
"this is the type of bright, splashy, fun pulp that ought to come out in January, when everyone is in their worst mood and sick of talking about . Rather than trying to reinvent the wheel, Ready or Not 2 mostly seems to be doing, well, hide and seek all over again. Grace is back, having survived her encounter against the Le Domas family, but now she has to play hide and seek again against the "high council families," per a snide explanation from Elijah Wood."
Ready or Not 2: Here I Come arrives in theaters on April 10, 2026, continuing Grace's survival story after she escaped the Le Domas family. The film returns to a hide-and-seek premise as Grace protects her younger sister while facing the "high council families," featuring Samara Weaving, Kathryn Newton, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Shawn Hatosy, Néstor Carbonell, David Cronenberg, and Elijah Wood. The original 2019 film combined class commentary and graphic gore and established Weaving as a leading scream queen. The sequel leans into indulgent, bright pulp thrills and retains the dark, anti-capitalist blood-sport tone of its predecessor.
