Film Review - Ready or Not 2: Here I Come (2026)

Ready or Not 2 is the sequel to the very enjoyable 2019 Horror film Ready or Not and sees Samara Weaving return as Grace the Bride to be who survived her encounter at the end of the first film but instead of picking up the pieces she’s stuck in a new game regarding the Danforth family (David Cronenberg, Sarah Michelle Gellar and Shawn Hatosy) who bring Grace and her sister Faith (Kathryn Newton) to their family owned golf resort for a new game of survival.

Ready or Not 2 is not as good as the first film (very few horror sequels are) but I still had a good time watching this movie and first of that is the Radio Silence directing duo who do a good job directing the film and making good use of the golf resort location as they did the mansion in the first film and they also deliver some fun horror kills.

The film also has a pretty good cast, Weaving and Newton as the sisters play off well together and have good chemistry, Kevin Durand is good fun in his small role while Hatosy makes for a good psychotic villain as does Maia Jae and Nestor Carbonello.

But where this movie falls down a little bit is in its storytelling don’t get me wrong it isn’t bad per se but Elijah Wood’s character as a lawyer makes this story feel more complicated than it needs to be at times and Sarah Michelle Gellar’s role feels like a waste of her as a horror icon by the time it was done.

And so that was Ready or Not 2 and it’s a fun horror romp but the first film is better, 3 out of 5.
