It’s hard to beat the original.
I will admit that I had not seen the original Ready or Not when I was approached to do the Peetimes for this movie. I had some time today to see the original before I went to the theatre to see the sequel. As horror movies are not really my jam – that’s Christine’s forte! – I was a little concerned about seeing two horror movies right in a row.

But I really enjoyed the original! Creative, funny, good shocks, and Samara Weaving as the bride were fantastic. As for the sequel? Well, hm. To sum it up, it’s just not as much fun.
We know the concept of the hunt already, and in this one, they bring in other families that are part of a “council” that now have to hunt her…and her sister. Another big building or two, and another big hunt. (Strong “John Wick 2” vibes with more world-building mythology, which…isn’t needed.) Lots of different characters are doing the hunting – some are funny, and some are just there to fill space. More shocking kills, but just an occasional joke here or there. It’s quite darker than the first, especially in the second half. While the first one was a “black comedy,” this one is more…well, just “black.”
What people are saying
about the RunPee app.
This is a great app. I wish more people would support it
This app provides info about movies, reviews, ratings from people who have seen it before and after viewing. It has links to info about the movies. It let's you know when there will be a lull in the action and how long it will last. If you want to know what happens during that time, you can check the brief synopsis (you have to click a link, so no accidental spoilers). It has a timer you can set (silent) to alert you to a break. It also tells you whether there is anything extra during or after the credits. It's really a wonderful app. I've subscribed for a couple of years to support the developers, but I noticed some of the links to provide feedback didn't seem to work today. They also made it free, with voluntary donations to see the pee-times. If you haven't tried it, I encourage you to do so, and subscribe if you like it. I really hope the app is supported so it can continue to be maintained!
Developers note: RunPee doesn't make much money but it supports itself nicely. Donations are appreciated, but not required. We'll add as many movies to the database as we can until there are no more movie theaters.

I’m not saying it’s bad, necessarily; it’s just that we saw it done better in the original film. So, bottom line: it’s just not as much fun. Which is a bummer.
