Ready Or Not
(2019) Dir: Matt Bettinelli-Olpin, Tyler Gillett
A highly entertaining black horror comedy. The fun premise is that a new bride must play a game of hide-and-seek with her in-laws, on her wedding night. The twist being that this particular game, is a game to the death. Samara Weaving does excellent work as the bride being hunted by the eclectic and deranged family members. The direction is well handled, balancing the laughs, of which there are several big ones throughout, and the scares, featuring some satisfyingly gory and shocking violence that can either induce revolt or cackle as required.
A rare comedy horror that manages to balance both of it’s genres right through to the fantastic finale.
