    Went to see it because it had an interesting plot and Adam Brody. Happy to say his role was surprising and was a great performance. Underrated actor. Samara Weavering was a great lead. All around fantastic and I hope it hits big.

    It had the annoying cliche moments of the heroine constantly leaving behind possible weapons, but it was still great. Original story with an unexpected, yet great twist. I was left laughing and covering a gaping mouth. Would recommend.

    This movie had a ton going for it and good potential. But they ruined it with a dumb ending. A deal with the devil that ends up making them one by one exploded into bloody goo... just dumb...

It’s all B-movie stuff, though sporadically entertaining and occasionally witty on the intertwined subjects of bedevilment and in-laws.

As games go, this one’s a little too easy to outfox, but it’s worth playing if you need a quick diversion, or if the chess moves of The Favourite felt overly vicious—Ready or Not is pure checkers.
