Ready or not, here it comes: Ready or Not 2: Here I Come has arrived, bringing with it everything fans of the original could hope for.

Ready or Not 2: Here I Come opening scene repeats the final scene we saw in Ready or Not and follows on immediately after the events of the first film - Grace MacCaullay (Samara Weaving) has survived the deadly game of Hide and Seek with her newly minted husband's family, only to wake up in hospital handcuffed to a bed as police investigate her role in the La Domas family's demise.

As if a murder and arson investigation wasn't enough to worry about, Grace's victory has set something far larger in motion… her 'win' has triggered a rite within a powerful secret council, and the world's most elite (devil worshipping) families must now compete for the High Seat with Grace the target of their murderous ambition.

Forced to survive the hunt with her estranged sister Faith (reluctantly) by her side, Grace is forced to navigate a new set of deadly foes and find a way to stay alive until dawn or escape, all while unpacking years of sibling relationship woes.

Ready or Not 2: Here I Come brings all the same delicious fun that its predecessor offered, and while some might complain that the 'rinse and repeat' of a film whose charm was partially rooted in being unique and surprising makes the sequel superfluous, this second instalment brings just enough new to the table that it should tickle the pickle of anyone who really enjoyed the original.

The new outrageous villains are supervised by their delightfully unflappable lawyer, played by Elijah Wood who is chefs kiss in his portrayal of game master and cult admin guy. This round of ludicrously rich, powerful, and out-of-touch one-percenters are delightfully disgusting and you can't help but love to hate them. Except maybe Shawn Hatosy's Titus Danforth who is so well played you can take love out of the equation.

On the downside, I didn’t particularly enjoy the subplot revolving around Grace and Faith’s strained past. At the start of the film Faith's arrival felt shoehorned in as plot device to give Grace some motivation to fight through the whole hide and seek ordeal she just escaped from. As the movie developed and the two protagonists were forced to come together to survive, things got a little better, but there were a few 'agh, stop being so annoying' moments at the start watching them bicker, and then you get to the anticlimactic reveal and find out their fight and estrangement was really over nothing at all.

Perhaps that simple realness was intentional to contrast against the satanic murder game they are in, but it did make their earlier fighting – while running for their lives from gun wielding billionaires – a bit petty.

Ready or Not 2: Here I Come is a neatly wrapped package of talented actors, popcorn horror, and playful satire, topped with a bow of gore and glory.
