Critics Consensus

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

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.

3.5/5

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

1/5

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.

3.5/4

The pleasures of Ready or Not include Weaving’s performance, the wittiness of Guy Busick and Christopher Murphy’s script, and the clockwork pacing.

Everyone did a great job on this movie. Truly witty banter mixed with horrendous scenes of shocking brutality punctuates, the “just another day” feel of this black comedy.

By the end of Ready or Not, each character feels fleshed out, the rituals feel both insane and logical, and the whole experience feels like a blood-soaked roller coaster ride you can’t wait to get back in line for.

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.

Dark humor and clever writing makes Ready or Not a near-perfect horror-comedy.
