"Ready or Not 2: Here I Come" trailer released.
The original "Ready or Not" film came out in 2019 with a budget of just a few million dollars. The comedic slasher-horror film ended up grossing more than 57.6 million as viewers watched Grace (Samara Weaving) fight to survive against her husband's family hunting to kill her.
It was a shockingly fun and refreshing horror film, which is why it massively outperformed its budget. Now, Weaving is returning to the role to do it all over again with some new twists.
The preview released Wednesday for "Ready or Not 2: Here I Come" makes it clear the same fun and violent vibes from the original will return for the sequel.

How fun does the sequel look? I was captivated the first time I saw the original, and I'm not even the biggest fan of horror films. It struck the perfect vibe between seriousness, bloodshed/gory and humor. That's incredibly difficult to do.
Don't fix it if it's not broken, and clearly the sequel will stick to the original formula with Grace killing anyone in her way. She also won't be alone this time. A very nice little addition to the story.
Plus, Sarah Michelle Gellar and Elijah Wood in the cast definitely has my attention.
