Alas, poor Grace (Samara Weaving), who thought her ordeal was over. She survived the bonkers murder-game shenanigans of the Le Domas family. She’s alive! She’s free!
Just kidding.
Ready or Not 2: Here I Come, the sequel to the 2019 horror comedy Ready or Not, is a matter of raising the stakes exponentially. Sure, Grace survived one family. Now she has to survive four families, all of whom are basically vying to rule the world. By killing her—and her sister, Faith (Kathryn Newman). The plot description borders on the John Wick-ish: “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.”
But the real point here is the cast. Absolutely everyone is trying to kill Grace and Faith—or, in the case of Elijah Wood, directing the proceedings. The cheery cast of murderers include Sarah Michelle Gellar, Sean Hatosy, Néstor Carbonell, Kevin Durand, Olivia Cheng, and David Cronenberg. It is delicious to see Gellar playing a sort of anti-Buffy; it is always delightful to see Carbonell, and here he seems to be having quite a good time. It’s clearly way more fun to hunt than be hunted.
As for new prey Newton, it turns out this role was basically made for her. According to People, directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett (who direct under the name Radio Silence) “wrote her character specifically with her in mind after they worked together on 2024’s vampire movie Abigail.” (The screenplay is credited to Guy Busick and R. Christopher Murphy, who also wrote the first film.)
In the same article, Weaver says Here I Come is “so unhinged, absolutely cooked—you’re gonna love it.”
Ready or Not 2: Here I Come is in theaters April 10, 2026.[end-mark]
