Critics Consensus

Smart, subversive, and darkly funny, Ready or Not is a crowd-pleasing horror film with giddily entertaining bite.

Read Critics Reviews

Cody Corrall

Chicago Reader

Weaving comes alive as a hilarious and deeply macabre play on the "final girl" archetype, and it's nothing short of cathartic to cheer her on and echo the rage that quickly consumes and empowers her.

It's wildly entertaining and at a tight 90 minutes, it crackles with energy, never letting your attention waver.

Rated: 3.5/5

Even by its own humble standards the plot is poorly worked out (a few lame attempts at social commentary criticising the rich are feeble in the extreme) and the dialogue is wretched.

Rated: 1/5

It's not perfect, and the mix of comedy and suspense probably won't be for everyone, but for Yours Truly, it ended up being a very fun experience that had me on the edge of my seat most of the time. [Full review in Spanish].

Rated: 4/5

The News International (Pakistan)

Darkly funny, delightfully absurd, and shockingly gory, Ready or Not takes viewers on a thoroughly entertaining ride while commenting on privilege, class, and marriage.

…a super-smart B movie that offers a dark, splattery note on the margins of society’s growing divisions….

Mz. Ghostly

A fun, twisted dark comedy of a bride trying to survive her first night with her new upper class family. Gore filled and blood soaked laughs can surely be expected from this crazy flick.
