Ready or Not

a review by The Movie Mob

In a world of remakes, Ready or Not brings a bold new take on fun old horror.

It’s no wonder Ready Or Not’s directing duo was asked to take over the Scream franchise. This film has Scream’s dark humor dripping from every kill, every snarky one-liner, and every fully embraced horror trope. Ready or Not is a beautiful mixture of Scream, Clue, and The Most Dangerous Game, all held together by Samara Weaving’s fantastic performance. Bettinelli-Olpin and Gillett are the masters of taking over used horror tropes and using them to tease and subvert expectations creating dark, fun, and tense movies that delight any horror fan. Ready or Not does just that with a story that feels familiar and surprising, recognizable and innovative, resulting in an original slasher filled with charm and chills.
