Ready or Not 2: Here I Come is a 2026 American comedy horror film directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, and written by Guy Busick and R. Christopher Murphy. It serves as a sequel to Ready or Not (2019), with Samara Weaving reprising her role as Grace MacCaullay. The film also stars Kathryn Newton, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Shawn Hatosy, David Cronenberg, and Elijah Wood. Set immediately after the events…
The sequel to this movie is great; beyond just suspense and action, it delivers a satisfying ending for the protagonist. I liked the addition of the new characters and the dramatic turn of events at the end.
I recently reviewed Ready or Not, starring Samara Weaving, and it was a film I really enjoyed. It was released back in 2019, and this year after seven years lag time, the sequel was finally completed. After a theatrical run it wa released to streaming on Hulu, and it has been on my list I had been itching to see for some time now. The film picks up where the first film leaves off, for that reason I decided to re-watch the first movie right before the second one. I was glad I did as it was even better the second time around.
The second installment adds in some big name actors to the cast such as Sarah Michelle Gellar (of Buffy the Vampire Slayer fame) and Kathryn Newton. Elijah Wood also stars in the film. I have to say upfront that I really like the movie, maybe not quite as well as the first one. But a very solid and entertaining film.
The movie picks up right where the first one ends, with our protagonist Grace (Samara Weaving) sitting on the stairs behind the mansion that belonged to the Le Domases'. She survived the night and attempted ritual sacrifice to Satan. As the house burns she succumbs to her wounds just as the EMT's arrive. She goes into cardiac arrest but is revived on the way to the hospital. Her sister Faith (Kathryn Newton) shows up having been her emergency contact, although they have been estranged for many, many years.
Almost immediately someone appears trying to kill Grace, although she has no idea why. She and her sister hide and fight there way to escape the killer. Only to be drugged are kidnapped and taken to the Danforth complex.
When she lived through the night the Le Domas family was all killed, it kicked off the competition to claim the High Seat on the Counsel of families also bound in pacts with the devil. Winning the High Seat would mean immense world power. So a new game is started and whoever kills Grace can claim the seat. However, if she survives the night again she can claim the seat for herself. She refuses to participate, but they threaten to kill her sister so she agrees.
The eldest member of each family is to participate in the hunt to kill Grace. All are very eager to claim the seat.
Sarah Michelle Gellar play Ursula Danforth who is part the hunt, however Grace once again proves hard to kill.
Eventually they are cornered, and Grace makes a deal to marry Titus Danforth. The marriage would give him the High Seat and spare the lives of the sisters. This is where things get really interesting. I won't reveal any more spoilers and I don't want to ruin the film for you if you haven't yet seen it.
This is an excellent movie and a worthy successor to the first film. It is not, however, for kids as there is a lot of gore and foul language. It is a a very great watch from start to end, I highly recommend this one to anyone who likes dark comedy and horror. I gave it a score of 85/100. If you decide to see it enjoy, it's a fun ride!
That will wrap up my review of Ready of Not 2, Here I Come. A very fun movie and I'm sure you will enjoy it if you like dark comedy and horror. As always, thank you for all of your support, it's deeply appreciated. Please feel free to leave any comments or questions below. Have a great week everyone, and tonight is a great movie night!
Making a pact with the devil is never a good idea—something Grace MacCaullay understood perfectly in both the 2019 original and this sequel. There is a common belief that sequels are never quite as good; while that is certainly true for much of cinema, there are exceptions, and I believe this film is one of them. It succeeds because it preserves the essence of the first movie while featuring a significantly better cast. When something works, there is no need to tinker with it too much; creating a dark comedy infused with horror and slasher elements is a recipe for success—provided the story remains coherent and, above all, delivers the kind of horror that fuels the genre. Ready or Not 2 has all of this, which is why audiences—myself included—ended up liking it so much.
Hacer pactos con el diablo nunca será una buena idea y eso es algo que Grace MacCaullay lo ha entendido a la perfección tanto en la primera entrega del 2019 como en esta segunda parte. Hay una creencia que dice que las continuaciones o secuelas nunca son tan buenas y si, eso pasa muchísimo en el cine pero también es verdad que hay sus excepciones por ahí; este film creo que es uno de ellos. Y lo es porque mantiene la esencia de lo que el primer film y porque creo que este casting es bastante mejor. Las cosas cuando funcionan no hay que modificarlas mucho, hacer una comedia negra enmarcada en lo que es el terror y un poco de slasher es garantía de éxito siempre y cuando tenga coherencia y que sobretodo tenga de ese horror del que tanto se alimenta. "Ready or not 2" tiene todo esto, por eso es que es a la gente le terminó gustando tanto, incluyéndome.
This picks up right where the first movie left off. Do you need to watch the original? It certainly helps provide context for the events, though it isn't strictly necessary. Grace (Samara Weaving) survives that fateful night at the hands of the Le Domas family. To set the scene: we are dealing with a group of people who made a pact with a demon—Le Bail, alias Bael—trading their souls for eternal fortune. Grace believed it was all over—that the game had ended and the "curse" had been lifted—but nothing could be further from the truth. It turns out that was merely a prelude to the real test; it seems high-society families around the world entered into similar pacts, and now, following the demise of the Le Domas clan, a new "game" must be played to claim total power over that network.
Esto comienza justamente en el final de la primera película. Tienen que verla? - para que tengan contexto de lo que pasa si pero tampoco es tan necesario. Grace (Samara Weaving) sobrevive aquella fatídica noche en manos de la familia Le Domas. Para que entiendan un poco hablamos de una gente que hizo un pacto con uno de los demonios, Le Bail, que no es otro que Bael, para así tener fortuna siempre ha cambio de sus almas. Grace creía que todo aquello había terminado, el juego se había acabado y la "maldición" había llegado a su fin; nada más alejado de la realidad. Resulta que aquello fue solo el preámbulo para la verdadera prueba y es que tal parece que esos pactos también los hicieron familias de la alta sociedad alrededor del mundo por lo que ahora, gracias a la muerte de los Le Domas, tiene que hacerse otro "juego" para el reclamo del poder total de esa red.
All these families are summoned for the hunt—an event Grace must participate in yet again. The twist this time is that she isn't alone; she is joined by her sister Faith (Kathryn Newton), who helps her navigate the madness of being pursued by a group of people hungry for power and the perks that come with being beholden to Le Bail. As I mentioned, this is technically a horror movie—the kind driven by death and slaughter, featuring graphic violence and gore. Yet, it also incorporates dark comedy that makes the film incredibly entertaining to watch; these two genres always pair well together. The movie is packed with action from start to finish, as Grace is a constant target; the pursuit intensifies once they reach the location of the final game. Watching her fight to survive—both in the first film and this one—reveals a tremendous burden that she handles remarkably well; indeed, she proves to be far more capable of defending herself than one might expect.
Todas estas familias son convocadas para dicha cacería en la que Grace deberá participar, si, otra vez. El detalle es que ahora no está sola, esta con su hermana Faith (Kathryn Newton) quien la ayudará a salir de la locura que supone ser perseguida por un grupo de gente con hambre de poder y por los beneficios que supone estar a merced de Le Bail. Como ya dije esto es teoría es un terror pero ese que viene dado por muertes y matanzas, ese que puede llegar a tener un poco de gore y ser gráfico. Pero también cuenta con una comedia negra que hace que el film sea increíble de ver, estos dos géneros siempre van a ir bien juntos. El film está envuelto en una acción de principio a fin porque desde el inicio Grace siempre ha sido el target de todos, hay una especie de persecución constante hacia ella que se intensifica cuando llegan al sitio donde será le juego final. Verla tratar de sobrevivir tanto en la primera película como esta es una carga inmensa que ella lleva muy bien y es que si, se defiende mejor de lo que se piensa.
There is something strangely compelling about watching a group of people kill each other, especially given the variety of deaths—some of which are highly detailed and striking. The action runs the gamut, featuring firearms, swords, supernatural explosions, and plenty of brawls and hand-to-hand combat; the film is truly fast-paced. Add in the sheer amount of gore, and the result is spectacular and visually arresting—delivering the kind of bloodbaths that really grab the audience's attention. As for the plot, it holds up well; while the ending is somewhat predictable, the path taken to get there is murky enough to maintain a sense of intrigue and suspense. You never get bored watching this movie; it is incredibly entertaining, with constant action, and the performances and cast really elevate the experience.
Lo entretenido que es ver a un grupo de personas matarse entre si es algo que no tiene sentido porque hay variedad en las muertes, algunas bien detalladas y llamativas. Hay de todo tipo, con armas de fuego, espadas, explosiones sobrenaturales, muchos golpes, peleas; realmente es bien movido el film. Si a esto se le suma lo sangrienta que es pues el resultado es espectacular y vistoso. Y digo esto porque veremos los típicos baños de sangre que tanto llaman la atención. A nivel de trama pues creo que va bien, su final es algo esperado aunque la forma en como se llega a él si fue algo que no se ve muy claro lo que hace que la intriga y expectación esté presente. No te aburres en ningún momento viendo la película, es super entretenida, siempre está pasando algo y bueno que las actuaciones y sus elenco también ayudan.
Samara Weaving’s performance in these films is top-notch; I really enjoyed watching her act because she brings a ton of intensity to every scene, regardless of the emotion she needs to convey. I’d say the film rests almost entirely on her shoulders. However, Kathryn Newton also deserves a mention, as she shares much of the suffering and the fight scenes with Samara; together, they prove to be absolute machines when it comes to survival and combat. The cast is rounded out by Sarah Michelle Gellar, Shawn Hatosy (in a great role), Elijah Wood, and the fantastic Olivia Cheng. Clearly, this lineup is far superior to that of the first installment. To wrap things up, I can tell you that this is a great sequel that keeps the spirit of its predecessor alive—featuring plenty of blood, deaths, and action, along with a pretty solid conclusion to the story. Highly recommended if you enjoy these genres; I can guarantee you’ll have a great time watching the film. It runs just under two hours. I’ve included the trailer here so you can take a look.
Lo que hace acá Samara Weaving en estas películas es muy top, disfruté mucho verla actuar porque a todas las escenas le pone una tonelada de intensidad, sea cual sea el sentimiento que tenga que interpretar. Diría que el peso casi total del film recae en ella. Pero también hay que hacer una mención a Kathryn Newton quien comparte gran parte del sufrimiento y las peleas con Samara, las dos juntas logran ser realmente par de maquinas de supervivencia y de matar. El elenco lo completa Sarah Michelle Gellar, Shawn Hatosy (en un muy buen papel), Elijah Wood y la gran Olivia Cheng. Claramente este lineup supera y por mucho al de la primera entrega. Como conclusión les puedo decir que es una gran secuela que mantiene la llama de su antecesora, mucha sangre, muertes, acción y un cierre de la historia bastante decente. Muy recomendada si les gustan estos géneros, ya les digo que la van a pasar muy bien viendo el film. Dura poco menos de dos horas. Por acá les dejo el tráiler y así le echan un vistazo.
Alright everyone, that’s all for today; I hope you enjoyed it.
¡Sending a big hug to you all, see you next time!
Bueno mi gente por hoy es todo, espero que les haya gustado.
¡Un abrazo a todos, nos vemos en la próxima!

›Review of Ready or Not Here I Come80@danielcarrerag106d
For many, the original Ready or Not became a cult classic with its blend of horror, survival, and dark comedy. It serves as a sharp critique of the excesses of ultra-wealthy families who are willing to do literally anything. Who would have thought this movie would get a sequel? It was recently added to Hulu, and I just couldn't miss it.
The new film, Ready or Not Here I Come, picks up the story immediately where the first one left off. We see Grace (Samara Weaving) sitting on the mansion's grand staircase at dawn, right after every member of the family who tried to kill her violently exploded. Now, she's brought before the council of other families bound by the same pact, forced to survive until dawn once more—because if anyone manages to kill her, they'll inherit the seat presiding over this powerful cabal.
While the premise sounds identical to the first movie, there are a few key differences. First, if she survives, she actually gets to take the seat presiding over the council, thanks to marrying into and surviving the original family that tried to hunt her down. The second major difference is that she's now joined by her estranged sister, Faith (Kathryn Newton)—whom she hasn't seen in seven years—adding a whole new layer of emotional complexity to her survival and a great dynamic for viewers.
The movie is packed with the kind of dark humor and gore I haven't enjoyed in a while—I know it sounds weird since this kind of content isn't for everyone and few find it entertaining. But I was genuinely surprised by how hooked I stayed from start to finish. Even though I caught plenty of parallels to the first film, those minor tweaks gave this story its own distinct flavor. Watching a fractured sisterly bond heal in the middle of a life-or-death survival game is downright surreal.
I recommend watching with discretion; it’s heavy on gore and mature themes, definitely not a family movie. It’s strictly for people who appreciate dark humor and aren't expecting a deep, complex plot to unpack.

Source Sequels to sleeper hits have one of the worst success rates in Hollywood and I say that with enough confidence having watched this happen over and over again across twenty something years of being addicted to movies, because studios hear the word "hit" and immediately start throwing money and committee notes at something that worked precisely because it did not have those things.
