‘Ready or Not 2’ review: An outrageously good time with bloody carnage and Samara Weaving at her best

Samara Weaving and Kathryn Newton in "Ready or Not 2: Here I Come" (2026).

It can be risky to release a sequel nearly seven years later. But when the original was a hit, and the producers found a high-ambition story that expands the original’s lore, a follow-up was almost inevitable. “Ready or Not,” the darkly funny horror-comedy from Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, now returns with “Ready or Not 2: Here I Come,” delivering bloodier carnage, higher stakes and all the chaotic fun that made the first 2019 movie so memorable.

Tom's Guide Verdict: 'Ready or Not 2: Here I Come'
  • Rating: 3.5/5 stars
  • Verdict: "Ready or Not 2: Here I Come" picks up immediately after the first film, delivering bloodier carnage, higher stakes, and darkly comic chaos. With Samara Weaving at her best, inventive kills, and wicked humor, it’s a thrilling and entertaining sequel, even if some of the magic has dulled.
  • Where to watch: "Ready or Not 2" premieres in U.S. theaters on March 20
