Ready or Not (2019)
A bride's (Samara Weaving) wedding night takes a dark turn when her rich, eccentric new in-laws (Adam Brody, Henry Czerny, Andie MacDowell) force her to take part in a deadly game.
"It’s the happiest day of Grace’s life as she marries her fiancé Daniel, a member of the Le Domus family, owners of one of the biggest games companies in the world. Before taking her rightful place at her new in-laws country mansion, there’s a traditional family ritual Grace must play first prior to heading off on honeymoon. But the game that’s chosen turns lethal and everyone must fight for survival." (FrightFest)

pressReady has a fine time with its setting... and Weaving is sharp enough to play things straight as the ensemble around her goes for the occasional laugh.
Variety
pressThis deranged and darkly comedic thriller... packs subversive pleasures aplenty, exaggerating the anxieties of marrying into an unfamiliar family by confronting its unsuspecting bride with a worst-case set of in-laws.
The Guardian
pressIn a year filled with underwhelming horror films, it's ultimately more of the same, a game where the biggest loser is the audience.
Time Out
pressAs games go, this one's a little too easy to outfox, but it's worth playing if you need a quick diversion, or if the chess moves of The Favourite felt overly vicious - Ready or Not is pure checkers.
IndieWire
pressWickedly entertaining from start to finish, and painted with enough fresh personality to resolve into something more than the sum of its parts.
The New York Times
pressRelentless and thoroughly preposterous, Guy Busick and R. Christopher Murphy's script hews to its own batty logic, its frantic pacing peppered with morbid humour.
Los Angeles Times
press"The Most Dangerous Game" with notes of "Rosemary's Baby" and the sassy, snarky 'tude of "Heathers."
