Tubi Whatever-day: Ready or Not (2019)

I watched the Film.
I got my Screen Caps.
The power went out.

Let's play catch-up a day before the next proper Tubi Day if you are...

A young Couple is getting married today.

The Husband-to-be is nervous, but not for the reason she thinks.
After the Ceremony, they must take part in a family tradition- Game Night.

The new Family Member draws a card from a 'magic' deck and they play the game.

She got Hide & Seek.
She has no idea that anything bad is going to happen, so she just wanders around the Estate- the Wedding and after-Ceremony all take place at the House- and hides for a bit.
Meanwhile, the Family has to hunt her down and kill her!

It all relates to a deal that was made 3 Generations back to stay rich.
She realizes that they want to/have to kill her.

Can she stay alive?
Can she take down the kin?

To find out, stream it now...
So... technically it is not on Tubi anymore.  It was last Thursday.
Whoops.

Anyhow, this Film is really good.  It has a nice balance of Comedy, Drama and Horror.  It just works.

The Actors- notably Samara Weaving and Andie McDowell- feel very real.  You believe that they are real people in a crazy situation.

The Plot is a slow burn, which sort of adds to the realism.  It builds and builds nicely, not going right to gonzo stuff.  It definitely gets close to that by the end though.

I recall someone I worked with casually SPOILing the Ending (which I won't do) and him being annoyed.  I liked it, but it's all good.

Ready or Not is not an amazing Film, but I still quite liked it.  See it for Weaving, for sure.

As far as Movies about how weird the rich people are, this is still nothing compared to Society.

A good Film that builds nicely to a crazy climax.  That said, it is a slow burn, so it won't appease certain Horror Fans.
