But should you feel like pushing your luck and then see that flashing ‘Sold Out’ sign under the desired show time, consider staying to watch the lesser known horror “Ready or Not” instead. While lacking the emotional depth that is sure to be featured in ‘Chapter 2,’ “Ready or Not” offers a look at something that is just as scary as killer clowns lurking in the sewers: ill-intentioned in-laws. When this delightfully twisted tale begins, our heroine Grace (Samara Weaving) has just married her knight in shining armor Alex (Mark O’Brien) and is looking forward to a lifetime of wedded bliss. After a long day spent with the in-laws, the newlyweds have snuck away for a little alone time when they are rudely interrupted by Alex’s bird-like Aunt Helene (Nicky Guadagni). With clenched fists, eyes that look like lasers and a perpetual glare on her face, Helene cordially invites the pair to meet the family in the music room for a night of games. Though puzzled by the timing of this request, Grace relents as she does not want to rock the boat. Upon arriving in the music room of the estate, she is told that is a long held Le Domas tradition to play a game as a way to welcome a new member to the family; after all, creating games are how they made their vast fortune. But when Grace pulls the Hide and Seek card out of a mysterious box, the forced jovial mood of her new relatives deflates. Some members, like Alex, his older brother Daniel (Adam Brody) and their mother Becky (Andie MacDowell) look horrified, while others (read: Aunt Helene) look delighted by this turn of events. As Grace playfully tries to find a place to hide in the massive e s t a t e full of h i d d e n passageways and dumbwaiters, her new in-laws, minus her husband, are amassing weapons to use while they seek. Unbeknownst to the bride, and unlikely featured in their prenuptial agreement, the long held Le Domas tradition of playing games to welcome new members is accurate, just not as it pertains to Hide and Seek. If she had drawn any other game, such as the ones pulled by her new sister-in-law’s husband, or new brother-in-law’s wife, she wouldn’t be running throughout this vast mansion for her life. But such is her not-so-great-luck, she has to find a place to hide until dawn from her suddenly killer in-laws. While largely failing in their attempt to make pointed social commentary on wealth and privilege, writers R. Christopher Murphy and Guy Busick succeed in just about every other attempt to make this an interesting film. Where the film goes right is with the character of Grace, who runs the gamut from joy to confusion to betrayal to horror to rage and then detached bemusement, and the casting of Weaving to play the ‘final girl.’ Though you can tell the supporting actors are having a great time being wicked, it is Weaving and her character that really propel this film to an oddly enjoyable status. Due to its content, which features a ridiculously shocking amount of gore and an excess of dark humor, I can’t safely recommend this film for the average viewer. But if you’re a horror buff who isn’t turned off by comically over-the-top violence, this might be the right film for you to see. Grade: B Dedra Cordle is a Messenger staff writer and columnist.
