In 2019, a horror-comedy about the ups and downs of a new marriage, and the toxic ties of family, became a sleeper hit and is now a cult classic.
Five years ago this month, a low-budget horror comedy called Ready or Not burst into theaters and made almost 10 times its minuscule $6 million budget. Radio Silence’s Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett co-directed the movie, which led to them helming the two modern Scream films as well as Abigail earlier this year. It was also the first leading role for Samara Weaving.
A scream queen is born The most surprising thing about Ready or Not is that it didn’t thrust Samara Weaving to greater stardom in mainstream Hollywood films. But it did make her a reliable scream queen in other horror flicks including The Babysitter and its sequel, Scream VI, and the upcoming film Azrael.
Grace’s husband, Alex , has commitment issues. He seems to love Grace and his family. Alex alternately helps both sides because he feels pinned in by the circumstances. It’s hard to feel too much sympathy for Alex, since he did get Grace into this mess. But at least he shows regret and a real desire to be with her.
That makes it surprisingly cathartic when Grace gets her chance to fight back. Alex’s family may be killers, but Grace is far more than just an easy target. And the audience is on her side every step of the way.
