with her estranged sister Faith (Kathryn Newton) while rival occult dynasties
hunt them through a deadly contest that promises power, survival and betrayal
before dawn.
Review: “Ready or Not 2: Here I Come” is a louder and more grotesque sequel to
the 2019 surprise hit. While the original has a small-scale, claustrophobic atmosphere,
the second installments opts for more chaos, blood and action, complete with an
excellent cast.
The film picks up exactly
where “Ready or Not” left us. Grace has just survived her in-laws during a
deadly game of hide and seek. With the house burned down, the police is
questioning Grace, since there were also human remains found in the house. And
the blood on her dress is not hers. While she is being escorted to the police
station, she is being hunted again. This time her estranged sister Faith is
with her, while rival occult dynasties will hunt them down in a deadly contest
for the ultimate power.
Samara Weaving was already
the highlight of the first film and there is no difference for the sequel. As
the indestructible Grace you are constantly rooting for her and this is the ultimate
“good-for-her” story.
The sequel is so unhinged, it’s
very fast paced, brutally violent and very gory. If you loved the first movie,
you will not automatically like this one. But if you loved the first and
appreciated the dark humor from the first, and don’t mind adding gallons of
blood and over-the-top action, you will definitely have a good time. But it’s
missing the suspense and simple structure from the first installment, and that
might be a reason you wouldn’t like it. For that reason I believe the first
movie was better, but I highly enjoyed “Ready or Not 2: Here I Come”.
Rating: 3,5/ 5
