Daniel 👏 deserved 👏 better 👏

Thought it’s a dark comedy rather than a horror film.

The girl looked like a badass. She was shot, beat up, her chest was slashed, ran for hours, fell into a rotting pit of corpses, killed like 4 people, and she survived in the end.

So, the only good guy was Daniel

my poor homie Daniel kept switching sides as if he were Italy in WWII

I thought she was Margot Robbie at first too. The biggest downfall of the movie was its trailer. Once you've seen the trailer, you've seen the movie.

I was hurt when Alex betrayed Grace the way that he did 😭

When the first body exploded I thought Daniel came back from the dead and was about to kill the whole family

She told Alex she wanted a divorce right before he exploded

I kinda feel like this should have been set in Victorian times instead of modern, would have been alot cooler

Personally I like the fact that she didn’t kill the whole family. It’s more human that way I think. Like let’s get real, most people do not actually want to kill others and yes it would be in self defence in graces point but i think her not killing the whole family makes her more human because she’s not some person with survivalist training she’s just like us forced to go through this and wants it to be over without being forced to murder herself. Idk I kinda like it it’s a bit of a new spin on it (instead of her going all revenge on the whole family) and she is still shown to be a strong female protagonist even without going all killing crazy. Dunno about everyone else but that’s just how I felt bout it

Guess I'm lucky that I saw the movie without watching the trailer, because I thought the movie was great from start to finish.

The poster for the movie didn't seem like a thriller, it seemed like some action-comedy movie.

I feel like Alex had a change of heart when he saw his brother dead and then when he walked in on Grace killing his mom, he thought Grace killed his brother as well.

Here's my ending explained. The previous couples died because they refused to play the game. Therefore, Grace wouldn't die after the game because she played the game. Since they all played the game, there's only one rule. If the seekers win, the hider dies, and the seekers die if the hider wins. Alex is technically the one belong to both the hider and seekers and will follow the destiny of the side he has chosen. Even though he did help both the hider and the seekers, he chose to be on Grace's side at the very end. However, Grace, the winner of the game, refused him from her side by getting divorced. It technically is giving him back to his previous family and Alex followed his family members' destiny. Grace was free to go since she never or not anymore belong to the family that made the deal with the devil. Overall, this is a very good movie. It was exciting and thrilling. Of course, we knew she wasn't going to die anytime before the very end, but what's trilling is what she did and what she went through to survive this far. This is a pretty fun movie to watch. The actress impressed me since The Babysitter and I hope she makes more of Comedy Thriller/Horror.

Alex didn't turn on the bride because she killed his mother, he turned on her when he figured out that she was not ever gonna be with him after all this...he says as much, before grabbing her and screaming for the others😊

I don't know how to explain it, but this movie felt more "real" than movies typically do for me. Something about the sloppiness of the characters, their ambiguous motives, their rambling dialouge, their ineptitude at murder. It all made them feel more like real people reacting to a real situation, and I really liked that.

Wait.... That's not Margot Robbie? Plot twist.

12:50 "So perhaps he was still having some lingering doubt about this whole thing" Did you even watch the film at all? She fought against the entire family pinning her down while Alex was going to stab her in the heart, the struggle caused her to move so that she'd be stabbed in the shoulder and not her heart, it wasn't because Alex had a change of heart.

Daniel was my favorite character in the movie, and was by far the most intelligent character.

Alex didn't have a change of heart. As he was going to stab Grace, she bit the finger of one of the people holding her down allowing her to raise up which makes the knife miss her chest.

You said Alex chose to spare her by stabbing her shoulder, I believe he was aiming at her heart but she turned her body at the last moment so that he would hit her shoulder. I think she dodged it, he meant to stab her.

Alex turned on her because he asked “you will leave me right?” and he probably figured it’s not worth endangering his family and himself if she will leave him. It also has the “if I can’t have you no one can.” There is always hint throughout the movie that his love for her is out of selfishness and neediness. He proposed to her because she would’ve left him if he didn’t propose. He loved her because she makes him feel like he’s good, etc. Also, I don’t think she didn’t blow up in the end because she said she wanted a divorce. I think it is simply because she survived to dawn (rendering the rest of the family losers). Since she picked the card that dictates they play hide and seek, either the she dies or the family dies.

No, I totally disagree with most of your criticisms. I like this movie more than I did "you're next". I like that the shotgun didn't work because it totally avoided the dumb premise of the innocent girl turning in to a random badass because the plot demands it. This situation was much more fun in my opinion.

when alex said "she's here!" that's the most heartbreaking word ive ever heard

She is a fusion of Margot Robbie and Emma Stone.

I actually love the fact that the family wasn’t just a group of skilled and experienced killers, and instead were just doing what they thought they had to, and basically bumbled through it, and the only two who seemed to enjoy or were excited, by what they were doing, was the aunt whose husband was sacrificed decades earlier and the wife of the other brother, who married into the family, as a money hungry harpy who will happily kill someone to maintain her position. As for the rifle not working for Grace, she’s lucky, did you see the size of those cases, even if they were only black powder it would have knocked her into last week, with her shoulder going back even further.

Alex didn’t save Grace at the very end. Grace clawed the grandmothers hand and was able to turn her body so Alex only stabbed her shoulder.

I thought of the movie as a dark comedy. I didn't expect it to be scary or that bloody. The trailer told me it wouldn't be that scary or suspenseful so I went in with that thought in mind. I enjoyed it thinking of it as just a comedy.

Me: *go to the movies, watches movie* Also me: *watches ending explain for the movie I just watched*

Im here reading the comments instead of watching the video.

Alex switched on Grace because he knew she wasn’t going to stay with him after all of this. So basically if he continued to “betray” his family and trying to save Grace, he would loose them as well as already loosing her, so he chose to go with his family since he didn’t have her anymore. He also saw her kill his mother and assumed she killed his brother.

Omg y’all are missing a huge part in the plot YOU ARE NOT OFFICIALLY APART OF THE FAMILY UNTIL YOU HAVE COMPLETED YOUR GAME and hide n seek is the only killing game involved

Alex didn’t hesitate killing her, she got an arm free and he failed at stabbing her.

I just feel like you didn’t watch the movie at all.

Daniel got killed just so home boy alex can kill his “wife” poor guy

"I never felt scared during this movie." Well it is a black comedy and not a straight horror . . .

I loved her in the babysitter. She's an awesome actress.

So for the ending here’s my best take: Grace wins the game at the end by surviving, so the family is now the losers. Since the game involves killing the loser, la bail showed up and claimed the losers. So he started by taking the new additions first then moving onto the blood family, leaving the oldest, the father, left alive last. The son was married to Grace (the winner) so he technically won too, but when she divorced him he went back to his family and in turn became part of the losing team. Therefore since he was part of the losers, he instantly died. Now I’m not sure what’s going to happen next, but I would assume that the game is completely over since she won and never made a pact, just an unwilling participant. Hope this makes sense, I’ve seen other theories that are all basically the same, but with small changes here and there, but I believe this is what the writers intended

I cried when Daniel died like wtfffff ! He was the only good guy since Alex betrayed grace , at least Daniel tried to help her 😭

She kinda reminds me of Margot Robbie

Sounds like you just wanted to see You’re Next again. If they followed what you wanted it would be like every other badass female movie ever. This was a good change to see normal rich people who know nothing about killing following someone who knows nothing about killing either. Good movie.

You obviously didn’t watch the movie because she said she wanted a divorce before Alex blew up

It's understandable that the characters didn't know what to do. Like the husband saying, the only other time the hide and seek card was picked was the wedding of their uncle. And it has been YEARS. Nobody in the family had to kill a new family member for YEARS. It was really just by chance that she got dealt that hide and seek card.

I disagree with grace's breakdown. She wasn't in the right state of mind, she's in shock and at that moment, Alex was her only hope, so she nodded to what he said and they seperated. That's a normal reaction and I really liked that moment because it felt realistic on Grace's part. It was as she was walking away that she started to regain balance and determination. And it would be stupid for someone without a fighting background to take on an entire family and hunt them down. She doesn't know they are incompetant and every women's self-defense class will tell you to run when you can and disable if needed. The last part was the part that annoyed me was that Grace never disabled after escaping, but the running away when she had a chance is what you are supposed to do.

"None of the characters have any plan" Yeah, they're spoiled and lazy and incompetent. This movie is supposed to be a deconstruction of "the greatest game" trope.

He didn't stab her arm on purpose, she moved that's y he ended up stabbing her arm.u Pay attention more when watching a movie and going to make a review on it.

Alex didn’t stab her because he missed on purpose. She moved at the last second to one side forcing him to miss her heart, shocking him and the family.

Bro why are your uploads always timed perfectly

Abraham Lincoln Vampire Slayer Ending Explained Let’s make it happen

"Alex randomly has a change of heart" Ummmmm no, his change of heart parallels his actions at the beginning of the movie and is foreshadowed through is constant selfish nature throughout the movie (him not telling Grace about the families ritual because he was afraid she wouldn't want to be with him if she knew coinciding with him changing sides only after realizing she wouldn't be with him if she survived the night) as well as his conversation with Helene where she expresses that he's still the boy who ratted another character out for the benefit of the family.

Dude, maybe judge the movie on its own merits and not based on your expectations or the trailer or even comparing it to ‘You’re Next’. This movie has an amazing performance by Samara Weaving as she plays a HUMAN character who’s doing her best in a situation she’s really not comfortable in. She’s not a super badass like Erin because she’s human and doesn’t have a survivalist background. Also, this movie’s screenplay is so tight!! Plot points are got to and covered very well and the wedding is even skipped almost entirely as, as Alex said, the game is ‘more important than the wedding’. It’s a great movie!! Very well directed and designed. Maybe praise the amazing behind the scenes work rather than your expectations. Just food for thought

After godzilla king of the monsters, I've learned that movie scores, especially by critics don't really mean anything.

"Ending explained" turned to "I bitch about a movie for not being what I wanted it to be for 16 Minutes"

"Ending explained" Goes through the entire movie, scene by scene. Every time.

Uh...no dude. 1. In the beginning scene, Alex said: "without you-"...Daniel enters saying: "...he's one of us". As long as Grace would still have him, Alex and Grace are their OWN family unit. If Grace dissolved the the family unit...Alex defaults BACK to being a Domas. 2. Le Bail wasn't going to kill him...as long as Alex and Grace were their OWN family unit. As soon as she asked for a divorce and threw the ring at him, he defaulted back to being a Domas, and Lebail killed him. 3. Grace isn't getting a PENNY of the Domas blood money. She's divorced from them, AND she is NOT a Domas...the moment she accepts the riches...(unless she does so by having a sit down with Lebail, to negotiate a NEW fucked up deal...) she LEGIT becomes a Domas...and she will blow up instantly. Le Bail will blow her up right on the spot.

It's a Dark Comedy movie. Not a Horror movie

I agree that the trailer gave too much away, but as someone who saw the movie twice, I think FoundFlix kind of missed the point of the movie here (and was misdirected by the marketing). Grace wasn't supposed to be some badass like the main character in You're Next, she was supposed to be more like a wounded animal that was trying to survive. A normal person wouldn't jump from complete nonviolence to suddenly being okay with killing an entire family, even if they're trying to kill you. DeadMeat did a fantastic podcast talking about Grace's characterization and the movie in general. Alex switching sides also wasn't random, as there were hints given throughout the movie that he was flip flopping (bringing her in the first place obviously means he believes in the curse, and there was a conversation where his mother says she doesn't believe that Alex will pick Grace over his family, to which he doesn't respond. Also, when Grace asks why he would even bring her here, he says that if he didn't marry her, he'd lose her, which points out that he's putting his desire and want for her over her own safety) It's also left ambiguous as to if Alex thinks Grace killed Daniel, and he's obviously aware that she killed Becky. He doesn't fully turn on Grace until she confirms that she doesn't want to be with him after this is all over, which is something that a lot of women experience: some men will turn on you and even get violent if you turn them down. Alex also does aim for the heart, but Grace managed to get loose enough to move by scratching one of the hands that's holding her down. Overall, no, it's not perfect. But I think that a lot of the more subtle aspects are really resonating with people, especially women. Grace finally breaking and laughing at the end of the movie as her in laws die one by one is also a theme that was seen in Midsommar, and women were able to relate to that as well. Both of these movies drive their main women to their breaking point and beyond (some call it the feral woman trope, or maybe stepford smiler). This is the first time I've disagreed with FoundFlix, and I think it's partly because of the bad marketing and partly because of how the film hits different to the women who see it.

It’s Almost Like You Didn’t Watch The Movie

Them not having experience with anything..I think that was the whole point of it. It's an old superstition that this rich family follows in case something might be true from it. Grace ,as any normal human in this situation, is just trying to survive. I took it as a horror comedy and loved it.

I thought it was quite good. The ending made me laugh 😂

The ending was explained out of order which I feel changes some things...they capture her, tie her to the table, put on the robes, drink from that weird communal cup, then you find out David poisoned everyone, then he helps her escape and is shot by his wife. Also Alex didn’t have a change of heart; Grace dug her nails into the aunts hands which made her loosen her grip letting Grace lift up some and causing Alex to stab her in the shoulder.

I didn’t even make it two minutes into this review. I’m so sick of pretentious movie critics who needlessly need to criticize films for failing to have some sort of biting political commentary. The premise of this movie is so laughably stupid that if it took itself as seriously as you suggest it should, it would be utter trash. This is a dark comedy more than anything else, with horror/thriller elements. And it balances those elements perfectly and keeps a consistent tone throughout. I really enjoyed it for that very reason. It doesn’t try to be the next Get Out. It doesn’t fall into the pitfalls of the Purge movies. It knows what it is and never tries to take itself too seriously. It’s just a funny, charming movie with some intense and well done gore and horror aspects.

I like how Daniel is now the hero on this one when he was the Satan worshipper in Jennifer's Body. Still ended up dead in both movies though.

actually bael is one the 72 dukes of hell, one of the more powerful ones so he is a devil but not THE devil, fun fact

Can’t believe Grace is played by Hugo Weaving’s (Mr Smith-Matrix films) niece!! Samara Weaving May be a Margot Robbie Doppler but she is fantastic in her own right!! Aaaaand gorgeous!

Just because this wasn't the movie you wanted doesn't mean it was bad. They've made the movie you wanted before, You're Next, go watch that.

I really wanted Grace to go Rambo on the family but in the end I like that she did what any sane person would do: GTFO and keep running. She scrapes by like any normal person in that situation.

This is like live action of Francine's family from American Dad

"the rich will do anything to keep power" Oh so the usual

I don’t think you understand this movie at all lol

REAdy or not is great !! I'm a massive horror fan and no not really modern horror I love Italian horror the most and slashers and all sorts But it annoys me that he's complaining about the trailer giving everything away DONT WATCH THE TRAILER I don't watch the trailer !!

*i was not ready for that ending...*

This movie was great, loved it E: they also didn’t have a plan because they didn’t think they’d have to kill her. There was a chance

I remember Daniel said the poison wasn't really lethal. It'll just knock them out.

Sry but the first thing I’d do after my wedding is get TF out of my wedding dress someone please tell me how this chick is still in hers

I really enjoyed the movie, it was a fun mix between comedy and thriller. I think a lot of the ineptitude of the family is explained by half the family not really wanting to kill her, sticking to the old traditions of outdated weapons, and the fact they only had to do the ritual once before 30 years ago.

things I should be doing: going to sleep things I will now do instead: watch this video

I respect and love your hard work for this awesome channel, man, but it's like you didn't "get" the movie. I'm not going to point out all the things I think you got wrong, just gonna say well : everyone has a right to his own opinion. I really like Ready or Not, it's a great dark comedy/horror movie.

I can't believe there was no reference to Grace wanting a divorce and how she actually had a choice to continue the tradition with future generations. Just because you didn't like the movie doesn't mean you should do a shitty job of explaining it!

This was like one of the American Dad episodes where Francine meets her real family

Ah man. I feel like you rushed it because you didn't like it.

uhm.. what exactly did he explained. not the ending for sure..

No one: Not A Single Soul: Everyone: ShE lOoKs lIke MArgOt rObBie

"Grace doesnt get her brutal revenge" DID YOU SEE THE ENDING???

Wait you make a complaint how "The family doesn't have a plan of any kind going on" But then Describe how rare it is and WHY they weren't prepared.... (I'm usually okay with nitpicks because I can understand them. Not in this case)

Dude, did you miss that this was more of a dark comedy than horror film?

It’s weird she didn’t meet his family until they were married.

Its feel like he didnt even watch it

Who's ready for It Chapter 2 Ending Explained? 😝

You missed a detail he didn't stab her in shoulder on purpose. The knife was knocked to side and due to that it hit her shoulder.

Correction: Alex thought she killed his brother after seeing what she did to his mom.

10:56 “If a gun is shown in the first act, it must go off by the third” THEY ACTUALLY TOOK THIS RULE AND IGNORED IT

Actually liked this movie. Wonder if Grace inherits everything in the end 🤔

Watched this movie on a plane flight last year (right as Rona was starting) and I really really enjoyed it. The scene with her climbing the ladder and putting the nail through the hole in her hand actually made me wince and that’s difficult

I love your reviews and takes on things, but personally I think you did this movie a great disservice by comparing it so heavily to your next. They're not the same movie, and that's okay! It seems like you went into ready or not expecting it to follow all the same beats, when that was never what it set out to do in the first place. Having a female lead who made the wrong choices, but was still just trying to survive was an awesome new take imo compared to the common trope of them stepping up and becoming bad asses. At the end, grace was fighting to survive, not get revenge- as probably a lot of people without a history of proper fight training would do! I think it was focusing more on being a dark comedy with some suspense than a suspenseful horror with a sprinkling of comedy, and I feel it should be judged for that, not what it was in comparison to something it isn't. Ah but that's just my thoughts, and I definitely agree this movie wasn't perfect, but it also definitely wasn't a crappy remake of your next- it was its own thing with its own potential. Keep on with the great reviews though! Whether or not I agree, I love hearing your take and opinions on things!

I'm surprised to hear your perspective on this movie. I usually find myself in agreement with your commentary and take on these films, but I for one loved this movie. Sure, the heroine doesn't go on a badass murder-rampage but I found the game of cat-and-mouse to be much more realistic. I wouldn't call it a work on genius, but it was fun and had some great little laughs, especially the twist at the end.

The number of times you say "El Bail" makes me question how much you actually paid attention to this movie.

If he says EL Bail one more time I’m gunna vomit.

You did not like the movie because you've expected too much. Imo, this is one of the best horror this year.
