READY OR NOT

Going in to this I was a little apprehensive as I anticipated a let down. The story is simple enough from the previews where a newly wed bride (played by Samara Weaving) has to play a game with her new husband and his family on the night of their wedding. The game that's chosen is hide and seek and while at first she believes the game to be harmless, she quickly realizes his entire family is out to kill her to prevent a terrible curse if she survives until morning. An interesting story that keeps you engaged throughout, doesn't overstay it's welcome, doesn't have overly elaborate death scenes and also at times seems to beckon to a KILL BILL/I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE kinda vibe, which I dug. A great performance by start Samara Weaving. I liked her in Netflix's THE BABYSITTER but she took it up a notch with this and I look forward to seeing more from her. 6/10
