Our take
Ready or Not: Here I Come is rated R for strong bloody violence, gore, pervasive language, and brief drug use. Grace and her estranged sister flee rival killer families hunting a cursed throne. Expect stabbings, bloody wounds, melting flesh, smoking, and well over a hundred f-words. Dark marriage and devil-deal jokes run throughout. This is adult horror satire, not a teen slasher party
Uplifting themes
Sister loyalty surfaces, but cynicism and gore dominate
Story (may spoil tone)
Moments after surviving an all-out attack from the Le Domas family, Grace discovers she’s reached the next level of the nightmarish game — and this time with her estranged sister Faith at her side. Grace has one chance to survive, keep her sister alive, and claim the High Seat of the Council that controls the world. Four rival families are hunting her for the throne, and whoever wins rules it all.
