NOT another streaming Movie - Ready or Not 2: Here I Come

Before stepping into Ready or Not 2: Here I Come, I was sure I saw the OG at the cinema. And yes I did. It was back in a simpler time. The series that year was Cinema Slut #2019. Here is my review from back then.

This serves as a direct sequel to Ready or Not, with Samara Weaving reprising her role as Grace MacCaullay. 

Alongside Weaving, Kathryn Newton, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Shawn Hatosy, David Cronenberg, & Elijah Wood all star.

Set immediately after the events of the first film, it follows Grace (Weaving) as she must protect her estranged sister while being hunted by four rival elite families in a high-stakes ritual to claim a seat of ultimate power.

Grace discovers she’s reached the next level of the nightmarish game and this time with her estranged sister Faith (Newton) at her side. 

Grace has one chance to survive, keep her sister alive, and claim the High Seat of the Council that controls the world. Four rival families are hunting her for the throne, and whoever wins rules it all.

Ready or Not 2: Here I Come premiered at the 2026 South by Southwest Film & TV Festival earlier this month. The sequel has thus far received generally positive reviews from critics.

What did I think though? I gave the original 3.5 stars, how will the sequel fair?

Look this was a bit of Friday fun. The cinema was mostly packed too! Is cinema making a comeback? Is horror always going to dominate?

A lot of questions. No answers. Just this was a bit of fun. Samara Weaving is fab. Whilst getting TV legends on board for this. Iconic.

Scream queen, Buffy boss and recently Dexter recruit, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Animal Kingdom's moody brother, Shawn Hatosy and recent Yellowjackets, former teen hunk Elijah Wood! What a cast.

I liked this. Will there be a third? Time will tell. Hopefully not another 7 or so year wait.

Again, 3.5 Stars for Ready or Not 2: Here I Come.
