Wedding Nightmare (Ready or not)

It’s a simple concept. Bride marries into a rich family, she has to play hide and seek, only problem is if they find her they’re going to kill her. The Le Domas family has built their empire on games, from sports to board games. The catch is their empire may or may not be built on a pact they made with the Devil. So when the bride pulls the wrong game card on the tradition of her wedding night, it’s game on.

This film doesn’t try to be something it’s not. It’s nice for a change to have a movie just do it’s thing and not have to try to be this big money maker that wants to pop out 10 sequels as fast as possible. It’s a solid horror comedy that delivers excellent comedic timing and some moments that really get your heart pumping.

The entire cast really knocks it out of the park and you almost find yourself rooting for them to find the bride and end it, or try to, we’re looking at you Emilie Le Domas. Only thing is Samara Weaving is so phenomenal in her part we could all hope to have the potential she does as the final girl. Every individual character has their own unique personality that really makes you long for the film to last longer.

It almost feels rare now a days to find a simple concept movie that’s fresh and original. But that’s exactly what this movie is. It’s fun, it’s witty, it gets your heart rate going. Movies like this are few and far between, get out there and see it while you still can.
