Ready or not is one of those films that sounds stupid, a woman marries into a wealthy family who made their money from making games (and hunting). To be accepted in the family all she has to do is take part in the family tradition of playing one game, only the game is hide and seek and it's played to the death. Some how the film works, It's set in a large house which helps the keep the atmosphere tense and there is just the right amount of humour that helps the film keep a fast pace.
I wouldn't say that Ready or not is a scary horror, lacking even any real jump scares but it doesn't need them, the film is not about being scared, it's about the chase, survival and dysfunctional family dynamics. Even the sub plot about the pack with the devil is used more for mystery than horror and the film does a good job of keeping the view from knowing the truth until the end.
Ready or Not is an enjoyable romp with a bit of blood, a bit of horror and just enough story to keep it going .
