Ready or Not: Here I Come is the sequel to the original movie Ready or Not. After seven years of waiting for the sequel in the movie, it takes place the next day.
The plot is the same as the one before it, but now double or nothing. Her sister is introduced, and once again, the main character and her sister are supposed to survive the night while a family is trying to kill her.
The movie kills were satisfying because the four new families seem more evil than the first and seem made for the audience to dislike them, making it even better. These families don’t even refer to Grace and her sister as human, but more as “things”. The movie had a lot of clever jokes that made me chuckle a little bit.
It wasn’t as good as the first. Some would call it a bad case of sequelitis. Directed by the same team as the first film, at first, I thought it was different because it sorta had a different execution. The sequel takes longer to begin or for the climax to happen later than the first, even though it’s relatively the same amount of time. It no longer gives a different lore; it’s the same game of cat and mouse.
In the previous film, it was this tension built up, but this movie really leans into the devil cult thing; it has more rules and more people. It has way more rules, but they seem to contradict each other.
Ready or Not 2 feels as if it is a weaker knock-off version of the original. The sequel really expands the lore from the first movie, which never fails. It explains more of the rules that the organization that was never really explained.
Ready or Not is definitely a movie that didn’t need a sequel, but I love seeing Samaraa on the screen so the actors made the movie very enjoyable. Not as good as I was expecting it to be after 7 years,but a pretty solid movie altogether.
I definitely recommend watching Ready or Not and the sequel as well.
