Ready or Not (2019)
Ready or Not (2019)
2019 | Comedy, Horror, Mystery
I saw Ready or Not earlier this evening as part of Odeon's Scream Unseen - so we went in with no idea of what movie we were about to see (apart from my friend @Neon's Nerd Nexus being bang on with his guess), and hadn't really seen much promo before hand.
And I'm glad he was right, because I found it to be a pretty good horror film (it reminded me of You're Next at times) with generous lashings of black comedy.
It made me laugh a good few times throughout whilst simultaneously making me wince at some of the gore on display.
Samara Weaving is really likable and easy to root for. In fact, I actually liked pretty much every character on display.

It's not the best horror movie you will see by a long way, but above all, Ready or Not is just extremely fun.

Black Arts, Tarts & Gypsy Carts ( Spells & Caramels book 2)

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A carnival bakery booth. A deadly magic show. Is it the perfect recipe for murder or a clever sleight of hand?

Palace pastry chef Imogen is struggling to control her newfound magic and her potent feelings for the prince. So when the carnival rolls into the kingdom, she jumps at the chance to run the royal bakery booth. But her plan to escape her problems backfires when murder rocks the magician's table, and her dear friend is found holding the bloody saw.

Determined to cook up a way to keep Rhonda out of witch's prison, she sifts through the clues and the long list of suspects. Between devious dark magicians, cagey stage assistants, and a strongman with more to offer than just muscles, everyone at the fairgrounds seems to be hiding secrets - even Rhonda.

With the final night of the carnival approaching, will Imogen's shaky powers be enough to flush out the murderer before her good friend ends up on the chopping block?

This series is so different and quirky. The characters just make you smile. Iggy has to be my favourite I mean a flame with personality and a sense of humour what’s not to love! It’s just such a pleasure to read.

Firstly, this version of Hellboy doesn't deserve only 17% on Rotten Tomatoes!

Yes it's different to the 2004 Hellboy, it's less jokey, more serious and darker.

I love Ron Pearlman in the 2004 Hellboy film, lets face it, he is an amazing Hellboy but I was very happy with David Harbours version of Hellboy. He played the tournamented demon perfectly. He was serious, yet funny.

Also I love the fact that in this version, Alice is played by a young, black woman, who is feisty and powerful. Sasha Lane plays the psychic, badass amazingly.

Throughout the film there is a few surprises in terms of who you'd think would star in this film, alot of familiar faces, and big names.

The storyline is well done, it's more like the Hellboy comics I read growning up than the first films. There is dark plots, Hellboys inner struggle of trying to keep his demon side down, amazing effects and real emotions.


I feel it's only let down was the fact is came out in cinemas as two major Marvel films also came into the cinema.


I very much look forward to a sequel, and judging by the first clip after the credits.....and the reveal of a certain favourite characters hand......it looks like a sequel is very much on the cards.
