Samara Weaving returns, once again drenched in blood, wedding dress tattered and shotgun in hand, as another deadly game unfolds in 'Ready or Not 2: Here I Come' - and it’s every bit as wickedly fun as its predecessor.
The filmmaking collective Radio Silence continues to carve out a strong reputation in modern horror, blending sharp tension with a darkly comedic edge. Their track record speaks for itself, and this sequel raises the stakes while peeling back more layers of the sinister cult at its core, offering audiences a deeper look into how it operates within this twisted world.
Weaving is, unsurprisingly, a standout once again, bringing both grit and charisma to the role. This time, she’s joined by Kathryn Newton as her sister - a pairing that adds fresh energy and elevates the film into an even more chaotic and entertaining ride. Once the game kicks off and the blood starts flowing, the film delivers plenty to rival the original, occasionally even surpassing it.
That said, the script does occasionally feel like it’s straining to justify its own existence. Still, it’s hard to dwell on those moments when the film is this much fun - expanding its lore, embracing its characters, and leaning fully into its gleeful brutality. It’s an absolute blast
