Ready or Not

Ready or Not can’t quite decide what it wants to be, shifting between over-the-top comedy to chilling body-horror thriller. However, the film is fun for its go-for-broke attitude. Samara Weaving’s performance is a marvel to watch as she descends into animal survival mode. Her guttural screams perfectly express the frustration the viewer must feel towards her in-laws and their devil worshiping ways. I’m not sure what the film is saying about the rich, but it indulges me in my worst thoughts towards them. I think the end of the film would have been greater if not for its supernatural angle, but it does lead to an extremely visceral and satisfying denouement.
