Leave your thoughts about Ready or Not.
| We Got This CoveredMatt DonatoReady 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. |
| Austin ChronicleRichard WhittakerReady or Not is the film everyone had hoped for: scathing, bloody, funny, and hugely entertaining. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperReady or Not is a warped and audacious and absolutely ridiculous slapstick gorefest. The gross-out visual punchlines might have you doubling over with laughter. Or gagging to the point where you’ll regret ordering those nachos. Or both. |
| Consequence of SoundMeagan NavarroClever mythos and well-crafted chills with an expertly-paced narrative makes for a deliciously entertaining, late summer crowd pleaser. |
| The Observer (UK)Simran HansThere 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. |
| EmpireIan FreerAnchored by a dazzling turn by Samara Weaving, Ready Or Not brilliantly fuses thrills, satire, laughs and horror. Don’t count to 100 — just go and see. |
| LarsenOnFilmJosh LarsenReady or Not works best as a black comedy about how far the obscenely rich will go to keep what they (undeservedly) have. |
| New York Magazine (Vulture)Angelica Jade BastienAt its best, the movie is a vicious, richly funny, and artfully brutal tale that places Weaving’s performance as its gravitational center. She lends Grace a scrappy, sharp energy that beguiles. |
| IGNMatthew DoughertyThis is an entertaining game of tension and gore with a strong funny bone, all in a well-wrapped package clearly designed with surprising thought and artistic effort with a star-making performance for Samara Weaving. |
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Barry HertzDespite its sometimes overwhelming sense of familiarity – including a conceit that feels lifted from last year’s Game Night, an impossible feat given both productions’ development timelines – Ready or Not is still energetic, inventive and bloody enough to permissibly coast on its influences’ fumes. |
