Ready or Not 2 directors say they feel more pressure with this horror sequel than they did with Scream: "That franchise very clearly is what it is"

Kathryn Newton as Faith and Samara Weaving as Grace in Ready or Not 2: Here I Come.

You would think that there are few things as scary as taking over the Scream franchise after creator Wes Craven's passing. However, directors Tyler Gillett and Matt Bettinelli-Olpin say that returning to the Ready or Not franchise was way more nerve-wracking than making Scream 5 or 6.

"We love the first movie. It's so special to us," said Bettinelli-Olpin in the newest issue of SFX Magazine. Gillett added that it's "wildly, wildly personal and the opportunity to make a sequel came with a lot of excitement and pressure that we maybe didn't feel in the same way with Scream. Six movies in, that franchise very clearly is what it is."
