Ready or Not 2 (2025) is back a dark comedy-horror film that blends elements of satire, suspense, and gore. The story follows Grace (played by Samara Weaving), a young woman who marries into a wealthy, eccentric family with a deeply rooted tradition. On the night of her wedding to Alex Le Domas (Mark O’Brien), Grace is forced to participate in a family game. However, this seemingly innocent tradition turns into a deadly and twisted game of survival.
The family members are required to choose a game card, and Grace draws the card for “Hide and Seek.” What initially seems like a playful activity quickly takes a terrifying turn when she discovers that the family is hunting her down with the intent to kill her. The family believes that sacrificing her is necessary to uphold their family’s fortune, which is tied to a mysterious pact made by their ancestors.
As Grace frantically fights for her life, the film combines humor and horror in a sharp, satirical commentary on wealth, privilege, and tradition. The suspense builds as Grace navigates the mansion, evading the increasingly brutal attempts on her life, while also trying to understand the dark secrets behind the family’s ritualistic beliefs.
The film is marked by its mix of thrilling moments, dark humor, and unexpected twists, all while exploring the darker side of social class and family loyalty. It has been praised for its strong performances, particularly by Samara Weaving, and for its clever blending of genre conventions, offering a fresh and engaging take on the home-invasion horror genre.
