Netflix has just added one of the best thriller movies of recent years

The deliriously fun modern classic will soon be getting a sequel. Netflix has just added Ready or Not , the excellent 2019 horror thriller starring scream queen Samara Weaving (The Babysitter, Scream VI). In the film, Weaving plays Grace, a young bride who marries the man of her dreams (Mark O’Brien, Republic of Doyle) at his wealthy family’s luxurious estate.

“There’s just one catch — she must now hide from midnight until dawn while her new in-laws hunt her down with guns, crossbows and other weapons,” the plot synopsis reads. “As Grace desperately tries to survive the night, she soon finds a way to turn the tables on her not-so-lovable relatives.” Directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, also known for their work on the recent Scream films and this year’s very fun Abigail , Ready or Not’s ensemble cast also includes Adam Brody (The O.



C.), Andie McDowell (Sex, Lies and Videotape), Henry Czerny (Mission: Impossible), Kristian Bruun (Orphan Black) and Melanie Scrofano (Letterkenny). A box office hit upon release, the movie earned rave reviews from critics and currently holds an 89% Rotten Tomatoes score.

In particular, its clever and darkly funny screenplay, its claustrophobic mansion setting, its immensely likeable lead turn from Weaving and its fun supporting cast were singled out for praise. The film was such a success in fact that a sequel was recently greenlit. You can read a sample of some of the glowing reviews for Ready or Not below: Chi.
