Ready Or Not is an exquisite horror comedy heavy on familial dysfunction, heavier on gameplaying brutality, and always a reminder that Samara Weaving deserves to be the biggest of megastars.

There is an elegance to the premise – an otherwise straightforward cat-and-mouse chase around a gothic mansion – and a satisfying clip to the rewardingly gory action.

Для меня лучший ужастик, после первой части "Оно", становится именно этот фильм. Актерская игра главной героини, просто прекрасна, отыграла почти реалистично. Д и все актеры смотрятся очень приятно, и каждый играет на 10. Кого то жалко, кого то прям так и охото, чтобы его вывели поскорей из игры. Элементы комедии сделаны тоже на высшем уровне, не ловишь стыда от той или иной шутки. Все на высшем уровне. Рекомендую!

Ready or Not can be described as the fusion of dark comedy with the Grand Guignol. Unafraid to venture into cinematic taboo territory for its shocks and laughs, the movie doesn’t have many sacred cows. It’s the kind of thing we might have gotten if Monty Python had made a gothic-tinged horror movie.

The wow factor of Ready or Not helps you jump the hurdles of any plot predictability.

Only in its giddily gory finale does the outrageousness of the film's violence come close to matching that of its plot.

While the mocking tone mostly undermines any trenchant commentary, the strongest impression Ready or Not leaves, thanks to Weaving’s eye-rolling, primal-screaming, evil-giggling performance, is of the cathartic, transformative female rage at the center of it all.

The problem with Ready or Not is that directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett (“V/H/S”) don’t know what kind of movie they want to make, or what to do with their heroine. There are constant shifts in tone — is it a comedy, like the trapped-in-a-mansion “Murder By Death”? A satire on the rich? A kick-ass revenge picture?

To me, it was the quintessential Black Comedy and the lead actress was amazing.

Predictable yet entertaining horror/thriller/comedy lark. The cast is great and given the limited budget there is an excellent production quality to it. Sadly nothing quite special enough to elevate things above the average marker but it's clear this was made from a team that loved what they were creating.

血漿砍殺片。低配性轉版《逃出絕命鎮》。人物塑造非常工具，死法也沒什麼新意，結局竟然不是女主反殺而是所有人原地爆炸也是沒想到。看完整部電影既不恐怖又不夠爽。所謂的上層社會的剝削隱喻真的看膩了。
