Cody Corrall

Chicago Reader

Weaving comes alive as a hilarious and deeply macabre play on the "final girl" archetype, and it's nothing short of cathartic to cheer her on and echo the rage that quickly consumes and empowers her.

It's wildly entertaining and at a tight 90 minutes, it crackles with energy, never letting your attention waver.

Rated: 3.5/5

David Stratton

The Australian

Even by its own humble standards the plot is poorly worked out (a few lame attempts at social commentary criticising the rich are feeble in the extreme) and the dialogue is wretched.

Rated: 1/5

Sameen Amer

The News International (Pakistan)

Darkly funny, delightfully absurd, and shockingly gory, Ready or Not takes viewers on a thoroughly entertaining ride while commenting on privilege, class, and marriage.

…a super-smart B movie that offers a dark, splattery note on the margins of society’s growing divisions….

Rated: 4/5

Everything is Horrible (Substack)

The set up of Ready Or Not sounds clunky, and it kind of is. The execution though, is peerless.
