![]() ![]() Very mysterious, except we never found out what she meant by that. When Daniel calls her out on this weird obsession, she simply says that this life is better than the one she was living before. Out of all the in-laws, Charity is the most excited to play Hide and Seek. The whole point of this man hunt is to prevent the family from dying, and when one of them does all we get is a few tears and a gasp? Another inconsistency is Daniel’s wife Charity(Elyse Levesque). When the family finds one of their own dead, the reaction is SO lacking. As Grace gets better and better at outsmarting the Le Domas family people start to disappear. While Weaving was great with her reactions, I feel the rest of the cast was just ok. In particular, when Grace is in the kitchen hiding behind the island with the butler on the other side she is trying to load her weapon the quietest way possible, she visible holds her breath and shakes with fear and from that expression alone the audience is fighting the panic right along with her. Samara Weaving the actress who plays Grace, facial expressions are amazing and add so much depth and emotion to every scene. Never do the fight scenes feel choreographed and the deaths are not drawn out. The way she handles her situation like a real person would, it’s obvious she’s never been trained for anything like this and although bizarre that makes the situation seem more real. Unlike other movies where the protagonist too quickly accepts their fate, Grace is still questioning what is happening and why. I admire how Grace’s character is ready to fight for her life in an instant but we can also tell how betrayed she feels by Alex and this new family she was so excited to be a part of. Grace quickly realizes that this is not just a childish game of Hide and Seek, and is thrown into survival mode. ![]() The rest of the family kill that man (the groom.) This was the last time the family played hide and seek. Daniel, the older of the two brothers yells to alert the rest of his family despite the bride’s (his aunt) pleading for them to stop. The movie opens with a flashback scene of a young Alex and his brother Daniel running through the mansion when a wounded man comes and asks them for help. ![]() Most of the time the card will be something simple like Old Maid or Chess, but when the Hide and Seek card is drawn the family must sacrifice the new member before sunrise or they believe that they will be the ones killed. At midnight, the new bride or groom must pick a card out of the special box the box will then “choose” what game the family will play. When anyone joins the Le Domas family, they must play a game to prove that they “belong.” This family has gotten its fortune from producing all types of board/ card games. This game is part of a long tradition started by their grandfather. The night of their wedding, her in-laws coerce her into playing a seemingly innocent game of hide and seek, that turns sinister. The film follows Grace (Samara Weaving) who just got married to Alex (Mark O’Brien) whose family has a luxurious estate and is obnoxiously rich. The screenplay was done by Guy Busick who also worked on Scream 5 and Ryan Murphy who is known for other creepy things like Ratched, American Horror Story, Dahmer and more. Ready Or Not was directed by duo Tyler Gillett and Matt bettinelli-olpinn who also directed Scream 5 together. Ready Or Not, a thriller dark comedy premiering in 2019, is an ode to this trope and has the potential to change the trajectory of this trope in the best way possible. A final girl is known for being the last person standing at the end of a long tortuous road of mayhem, often more intelligent and resourceful than those she is put up against. Sidney in Scream (1996), Sue in Carrie(1976), and most notoriously Laurie Strode in Halloween (1978) to name a few. What is a slasher film without its final girl? The final girl trope is part of a long and disturbed history of the horror genre with some very notable names attached to it. ![]()
