Ready or Not is a near-perfect concept for a high-concept horror film. A young woman marries into a rich family. It turns out they are Satan worshippers, and as part of the family initiation, she ends up playing a deadly game of hide-and-seek. Namely, she hides while they all try to kill her as a sacrifice to their benefactor. Violence and hilarity ensue. Ready or Not 2: Here I Come picks up immediately where Ready or Not ends, with Grace (Samara Weaving) on the steps of her now-dead in-laws’ burning mansion. She’s rushed to the hospital, where she wakes up to find two people waiting for her, a cop waiting to charge her with murder, and her estranged sister Faith (Kathryn Newton) wondering why she’s still Grace’s emergency contact.
Being a sequel, one might wonder where the story might go: will there be more of the same or something new? More to the point, how can the film get back to the same structure that worked so well in the last film? How do you do it all again and make it feel somehow fresh? The answer is, shockingly enough, to lean into the fact that they’re doing it all again.
