Ready or Not Review

Review of Ready or Not (2019) by screenqueeen: 👍 3/5

Entertaining enough to keep you intrigued, however the tonal shifts felt weird. There could have been more insight into Grace's character that I think could've helped the audience connect with her more. Just because she didn't come from money doesn't mean we would automatically connect with her to begin with. That being said, she did face her fair share of challenges.

The reverse Chekov's Gun was quite enjoyable here (I thought). It gave Grace more of a challenge when it came to confrontation. I just wish this was more mean-spirited, less whimsical and stuck its satanic landing.

Like seriously, if the whole point of the hide & seek tradition is to fulfill a pact with the devil, own it, make it bold and weird and fucked up. That's what Lucifer would have wanted.
