Ready or Not is bonkers. The film starts at a terrific pace and doesn’t let up for its tight 95 min running time. Trust me when I say that this is not the type of cinema experience where you can plan a loo trip during a quiet moment: there are none.

Samara Weaving stars as Grace, who we meet on her wedding day. She’s marrying Alex (Mark O’Brien, Arrival), the estranged son of the immensely wealthy and eccentric board gaming dynasty, the Le Domas’… although they prefer “dominion”, darling.

Grace and Alex have a very happy relationship, it seems. Like so many modern couples, marriage is just something they’re doing because it’s what other people do… and it has very different results for each of them. The nuptials have forced our reluctant groom back into his family’s fold, whilst simultaneously providing Grace, who has been raised in foster homes, with the stability she craves.

This is an important detail when you consider the events that follow, as it does beg the question: why get married in the first place?

Ready or Not review: This bonkers comedy-horror is unlike anything we’ve seen before
