southers' Film Review: Ready or Not (2019), An American Black Comedy Horror Film About Mrriage

I was excited when the movie’s trailer came out. The opening song is the familiar song "Unchained Melody" used by various classic movies. As the lens slowly opens, I thought it was a romantic love story. The young girl is about to marry wealthy and handsome man, and live a happy life. However, on the eve of marriage, in accordance with the family's tradition, every family member must play a game at midnight. This game is "Hide and Seek.", which is the start of the horror.

Don't think this is a simple game. It is only here that it turned out to be a thrilling horror film. The girl needs to hide in the husband's mansion until she is revealed, so she can formally marry her husband. However, this peek-a-boo is not a joke. It is actually a bloody anomaly. For long nights, the girl have to hide her body. A person jump out of anywhere at the mansion at any time to put her to death. How can a delicate bride face this severe test? She is just a girl who has never been hurt. Can she escape from this slaughter? When I was watching this film, those question came to my mind.

Don't think that the story is as simple as it seems. The twists and turns of its story are far more than that. Prisoners who are imprisoned, murderers who cannot survive without killing the bride, and even terrible children. The quiet midnight is obviously not calm. This is a bloody killing, gunfire negotiation, and the brave girl seems to be fighting back. There may be a huge conspiracy behind the marriage. Whether the girl who is happy and tragic can live through the night of the house. What the outcome is? It remains to be seen.

At the end of the movie, I can't control myself to think that the scriptwriter is greatly stimulated. This crazy story was created to explain the huge price of marrying with wealthy family . Marriage is inherently scary, and the film clearly metaphorically enters the unimaginable challenges that the upper class is likely to face. For example, a woman who married to a giant in the film said: "I would rather die than continue to live in the past". How strong is the desire to change social status? And some people, such as the film's female protagonist, still believe that true love is greater than everything, until she personally face the similar situation.

My Score is 2.8/10
