Ready or Not [Movie Review]

Ready or Not [Movie Review] | Truth be told, I accidentally came across the movie trailer by accident. I was watching a movie in a cinema when the trailer came on and I was wondering 'Why am I not aware of this movie?'

So, during one of my outing by myself, I just bought the ticket and watched it all by myself.

The movie starts with two boys witness the killing of a man who is married to their aunt. And one of the boys, Daniel actually assist in finding the man when he was trying to hide from a group of people, who apparently was looking for him and trying to kill the groom.

Please find your own hiding spot

Fast forward to years after, one of the boys, Alex is now grown up and ready to tie the knot with the girl of his dream, Grace. During the ceremony, Grace is spooked up by the stern look that Alex's aunt gives her.
During the midnight of her wedding, Grace was called upon together with her groom to assemble in the family hall to play a family tradition. There, Grace draws a card from a mysterious wooden box that has been in the family for generations. Tony, Alex's father explains that his great-grandfather, Victor Le Domas, made a deal with a man named Mr. Le Baik where Le Bail would help create Le Domas fortune if the Le Domas family established the aforementioned tradition.
Grace draws a card that has 'hide and seek' written on it. Although Alex wants her out and not participating in the 'game', believing that the 'game' is harmless, Grace willingly participates. Furthermore, one the 'game' is done, she'll become a part of the tradition too, soon.

We are supposed to hunt our own food, in these formal dresses?

I guess a typical wedding dress and jewellery are out of question now

Once Grace was out from the room looking for a place to hide, the Le Domas starts to select their antique weapon of choice. Alex sneaks out from the hall via the secret passage that runs through the Le Domas' mansion and manages to catch Grace in their bedroom. In the midst of him explaining the truth about the game, Emilie (Alex's eldest sister) comes into the room and accidentally kill one of the maids. Hiding beside the bed, the pair hears all about the objective of the game of 'hide and seek' which is to find Grace and have her killed before sunrise.

Realising that her groom has lied to her all this while and that her life is at stake, Grace tries her best to find the best hiding place and stay alive until sunrise. 
What will Grace do when hiding is not the best option in staying alive?

Am not complaining, but is this the latest trend for wedding make up?

MY REVIEW

Plot: 4.9/ 5.0 When I first watched the trailer, I had my hunch of who is the villain in the movie. There were curveballs in the movie that totally shattered all my guesses. And when the movie ends, you'll leave the cinema hall with more questions and I have a hunch that there'll be a sequel soon. 

There will be lots of bloody scenes and please don't bring your young and tender kids to this one. 

Cast: 4.8/ 5.0 The cast delivered their parts beautifully. No complain whatsoever here. The cast was not popular but there were some faces that are very familiar. 

Will I watch it again: Yes, I don't mind watching it again with the right companion.
