Ready Or Not

Directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett have just released the trailer and poster for the film ‘Ready or Not,’ one of Fox Searchlight’s final pre-Disney horror-comedies. Writers Guy Busick & R. Christopher Murphy have put the script together, and we’ll be seeing the big screen release drop on August 23rd, 2019! We’ve all heard jokes about having in-laws, and this new movie focuses just on that as Andie MacDowell is a newly minted mother-in-law who is out for blood!

The rather short ‘Ready Or Not’ synopsis is as follows:

READY OR NOT follows a young bride (Samara Weaving) as she joins her new husband’s (Mark O’Brien) rich, eccentric family (Adam Brody, Henry Czerny, Andie MacDowell) in a time-honored tradition that turns into a lethal game with everyone fighting for their survival.

You can check out the ‘Ready Or Not’ trailer right here, we do have to warn you though that this red band trailer does fall in the Not Safe For Work category so don’t expect to check this out in your cube at the office:

 

I’m not going to lie, I was actually entertained by this and was not expecting it to be. We’ve seen quite a few horror films that somewhat fall into the category in recent years and making it a dark comedy to boot could have turned this into something painful to watch. Fortunately, that isn’t the case!

My singular concern from the trailer is that unless they’re barely scratching the surface here, it does feel as if they may have revealed some significant deaths in just this promotional footage.

You can check out the first poster for ‘Ready or Not’ below!
