Seven years later, the sequel to "Ready or Not" has arrived.
"Ready or Not 2: Here I Come" picks up exactly where the original left off. Grace McCauley sits on the steps on her in laws home smoking a cigarette after surviving her new husband and his family's intent on sacrificing her.
To quickly recap: Grace marries into a family where it is tradition to play a game on a wedding night. Grace drew hide and seek which means she must hide from the family until dawn or she will be killed.
As the family are Satanists, failure to sacrifice her means they must die as punishment.
Grace coming out of the game alive should mean that she can move on with her life. Unfortunately, her former in laws were one of six families in this particular cult and now the other families get to hunt her down in an effort to win the power to rule over everything.
Premise wise it is exactly like the prequel. So, if you're looking for a fun repeat of the first one then this is the sequel for you.
What the sequel does have is two stand out characters. Elijah Wood plays a lawyer who is there to ensure that the remaining families follow all the rules and Kathryn Newton plays Grace's younger sister Faith who is dragged into this round of the hunt.
Samara Weaving and Kathryn Newton play off of each other very well. The rest of the cast bring great elements, but Sarah Michelle Geller and Shawn Hatosy as the Danforth twins bring a fun dynamic as the ones who want to ensure their family stays in power.
There is blood. There is gore. There is a whole lot of fun. To see how it all plays out, check it out for yourself.
