Ready Or Not 2: Here I Come (15) Film Review from LondonNet
A blood-soaked bride lighting a cigarette outside a burning mansion after surviving a satanic game of hide-and-seek feels like the perfect conclusion to a horror film. But filmmakers Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, collectively known as Radio Silence, believe there was more story to tell. Having reinvigorated the Scream franchise, the directing duo return with their follow-up to the 2019 comedy-horror sleeper Ready Or Not, with scream queen Samara Weaving reprising her role as Grace MacCaullay…
Grace believes the nightmare of her courtship with Alex Le Domas (Mark O’Brien) is over, now that she has eliminated her deranged in-laws. Alas, her hard-fought, blood-soaked victory comes with razor-sharp strings attached: other wealthy families around the world are now permitted to hunt Grace and slaughter her for sport.
Chester Danforth (David Cronenberg) and his sadistic kin, including twin offspring Ursula (Sarah Michelle Gellar) and Titus (Shawn Hatosy), lead the charge. Grace is determined to avoid further violence, but when she discovers her younger sister Faith (Kathryn Newton) has become fair game for these tenacious hunters, the psychologically scarred survivor has no choice but to decimate anyone who threatens her bloodline.
Newton is an excellent addition to the cast, and the sisterhood between Faith and Grace serves as the emotional core of the film. Their complicated history is set aside as they are forced to rely on each other to survive. Newton and Weaving share strong on-screen chemistry and deliver several sharp one-liners, providing welcome comic relief amid the chaos.
While the sequel shares a premise similar to the original, the new group of murderous aristocrats injects fresh energy. Among them is the delightful Elijah Wood, who plays a nameless lawyer observing the madness from the sidelines. It is glorious to see Gellar back in the role of a slayer, though it is disappointing that she is not given enough material to fully showcase her talents. She and Hatosy make excellent sinister siblings, evoking the dynamic of Kathryn and Sebastian from her 1999 classic Cruel Intentions with Ryan Phillippe.
The film takes audiences on an action-packed, blood-soaked ride, where you are rooting for the sisters’ survival while revelling in the chaotic madness that unfolds. Expect exploding humans again, satanic rituals, ruthless relatives and some laugh-out-loud moments throughout. The conclusion leaves room for a potential trilogy, and given Radio Silence’s fondness for franchises, that possibility feels incredibly plausible.
