Hey what's up guys. Today I'll show you
a thriller mystery film: "Ready or Not"! Spoilers ahead, watch out and take care!
The film begins in 19 89, inside the Le Domas mansion, where two young siblings,
Daniel and Alex, run around while being followed by a man. Daniel hides Alex
in a closet just in time before the new husband of their Aunt Helene, shows up.
he pleads with Daniel to help him, as he has been wounded and is being hunted;
but instead, the little boy alerts the rest of the family of his presence. Helene's new husband
tries to escape in panic; but the family members begin showing up and corner him. They wear creepy
masks and black robes; and Helene attempts to stop her family from killing her new husband;
but they drag him into a room to his grisly fate. Daniel remains calm as he watches them.
Thirty years later, Alex is getting married to Grace,
a gorgeous woman who's nervous yet excited to join his family, whom she claims is richer than God,
because of their family's gaming "dominion." Even Alex thinks his family is horrible, especially
since he and Grace violated the three-year courtship rule tradition. Daniel then comes in,
and fetches the couple. Alex gives Grace a way out; but she's determined to be a Le Domas.
The couple goes for a photo shoot, with some of Alex's family before the wedding.
Daniel's wife, who only married him for the money, shares the same feeling with her father-in-law,
Tony, who is straightforward about his disapproval of Grace.
However, they're nothing compared to a now old Helene, who shoots her a death glare.
Unlike them, Alex and Daniel's mother, Becky, is more approving and welcoming to Grace.
Moments later, Alex and Grace finally tie the knot; and while they're getting intimate, Helene
interrupts them. She reminds Alex he needs to join the family for something. As Helene leaves,
Alex explains to Grace that as per tradition, with every new addition to the Le Domas family,
the new member must play a game with the family members at midnight.
Alex adds that it's a kind of initiation, since they get their money from games;
and the new member doesn't need to win. they just have to play. Although it's ridiculous,
Grace will do anything for Alex's family, to accept her as the new member of Le Domas.
The newlyweds reunite with the family downstairs, where Grace meets Alex and Daniel's sister,
Emilie. She comes with her husband, Fitch, and their two boys. Tony takes the family to the room,
exclusive only to the Le Domas family members. One of the maids reads the boys
a bedtime story as they gather around. Tony explains to Grace that the tradition
was started by his great grandfather, who made a deal with a mysterious benefactor, Mr. Le Bail.
the great grandfather met Mr. Le Bail on a ship, where he was once a merchant seaman;
and they soon developed a friendship, as they both loved playing games.
Mr. Le Bail granted the great grandfather and his future generations their wealth and a special box;
but the great grandfather had to give his part of the bargain. The family passes the box to Grace;
and when she draws a card of "Hide and Seek", silence suddenly fills the room.
Some family members try hiding their worries. Before the game, Tony instructs Grace to hide
until dawn to win, and wishes her good luck. As she leaves to hide, Tony places a disc on the
phonograph, before joining the rest in arming themselves. Everyone chooses guns, except for
Fitch and Becky, who get crossbows, while Helene holds an ax. Grace hides in a dumbwaiter lift, as
the Le Domases go off to find her; while Alex uses one of the secret doors to warn his new wife.
Not long after, Grace leaves the dumbwaiter lift, and wanders around the halls;
while the maid panics as she has fallen asleep; and the boy has left his bed.
As the maid looks for him, Alex grabs Grace into a room, and hides beside the bed.
The maid walks to leave the room after hearing some noises; but then by mistake,
Emilie shoots her in the face with a shotgun, blowing up her head.
Emilie calls the family cheerily, thinking she shot Grace; but then she realizes her mistake.
Helene and Tony help each other drag the maid's body out of the room;
while Grace sits there beside her husband, in horror at what she just witnessed,
thinking that it's not a hormone-hide-and-seek game; it's for real!. As they leave, Alex takes
a shaken-up Grace into a secret door leading to the tunnel, where he reveals the truth.
Hide and Seek is a bad game among others; because for the Le Domases, they will die,
if they fail to find and kill the new addition to the family, before sunrise. The Le Domases
have a long list of people, who died after refusing to play a game. Alex admits to keeping
everything a secret until the wedding, because he knows she will leave him if he tells her.
Alex promises to find a way to get her out safely; so he directs him to the service kitchen,
while he goes down to the security room to unlock the doors, as the mansion is on lockdown.
She changes into her tennis shoes, and tears off the bottom of her dress to move around easily.
She starts to walk out, but then stops after seeing some of them carrying the maid's body.
They immediately drop the body to incapacitate her; but then a high Emilie appears, and starts
wildly firing at Grace, but she misses. Grace runs away, while Tony yells at Emilie angrily.
She hides; but then Daniel finds her, as he comes out of another secret room. However,
Daniel doesn't care about the hunt. but he needs to call the others. So he gives Grace a ten-second
head start, before alerting everyone. As Grace runs to hide, Daniel yells to alert the others;
and his wife is the first one to come. The wife immediately knows that Daniel has lost Grace;
but he couldn't care less. Daniel then changes the subject, and goes on to insult his wife.
Daniel reminds her about how she didn't blink, when he told her about the sick family tradition.
His wife rebuts, telling Daniel that she would rather be dead, than lose all the richness and
return to her miserable life. The others then come in to discuss another plan.
Emilie has lost her gun; so Fitch gives her his crossbow. but as soon as she holds it,
she accidentally fires an arrow through the other maid, that came in to tell Tony she saw Grace.
Fitch takes his high wife out of the room, while Helene chops off the maid's head,
when she won't stop groaning. Becky then suggests using the cameras to find Grace;
and the other agrees. but Helene is firmly against it, as it's a disrespect for the tradition.
Becky stops the argument between Tony and Helene, and then instructs Tony and Daniel
to turn on the cameras, while the rest fan out to find Alex and Grace. Meanwhile, Grace returns to
the exclusive room, wears the ammo belt, and takes the rifle. She hides in the kitchen;
while Alex tries to turn on the cameras, and disable the locks on the doors and windows.
The butler comes into the kitchen to make tea. but then he hears Grace loading her rifle.
he continues making his tea, like he didn't hear her. but Alex successfully unlocks the
doors and windows. As he checks it, Grace pulls the trigger on him.
However, no gunshot is heard, and The butler tells her that the ammo and rifle are just for display.
The butler takes the ammunition from her, and advances toward her; but Grace smashes
the teapot on his face, and manages to escape him. After seeing his wife evade,
Alex destroys the monitor just in time, before Tony and Daniel barge into the control room.
Tony attacks his son; so Alex fights back. but Daniel talks him down, only giving Tony a chance
to knock Alex out. Daniel and Tony carry Alex's body out of the room; while Grace finds the last
maid in the dumbwaiter lift. She claims not to know about the tradition, but then alerts the
family, and accidentally pushes the lift's button, causing her to be crushed into mashed potato.
Grace runs away to hide. seconds later, The butler arrives, and finds the maid's body
caught by the dumbwaiter lift's door. Meanwhile, Tony and Daniel handcuff Alex in his bedroom,
to prevent him from helping Grace. The butler informs them about the third dead maid,
pissing Tony off, because Grace is taking them out one by one, despite being outnumbered.
Becky calms him down, and goes out with Daniel to give him a minute. As they leave, Helene
starts talking to him. At that same time, Grace is outside on the roof, listening to how Helene
compares Alex to her old self, the time that her new husband picked the same game 30 years ago.
Devastated is an underestimation of what Helene felt that night, when her husband picked the game;
but then she realized that she shouldn't have fought it; she should have killed her husband
herself. And so, she believes that Alex will come to accept the same fate for his wife.
However, Tony doesn't think that because Alex has always been the "good son."
Grace jumps from the roof, almost getting caught by Fitch, who sits by the window,
looking through his phone. She runs away to the stable, where the boy follows her seconds later.
Grace calms down, thinking he's there scared. but then the boy pulls out a pistol,
shooting a hole in her hand. As a response, Grace knocks him in the face with her other hand.
A goat then startles her, causing her to fall into the Goat Pit, where she finds dead bodies of
goats, and unlucky Le Domas family members. Grace retches in disgust before climbing the ladder,
and reaches the top, when it suddenly breaks under her feet. She's slowly losing grip;
so she uses her wounded hand to grab the top, but then accidentally hurts herself with a nail.
Grace endures the excruciating pain, pulls herself out, and bandages herself with her dress.
She runs back outside, where Daniel's wife sees her, and tries to kill her with the crossbow.
However, she misses Grace and kills a bird instead; so she returns to the mansion, where
she runs into the butler. She informs him about Grace, before leaving to alert the others.
Grace manages to get through the front gate, where she tries to get help from an approaching vehicle.
However, the prick driver ignores her, and drives away from her.
Seconds later, The butler passes by, and finds a piece of Grace's wedding dress on the fence.
He promptly calls Tony, and informs him about it, before returning to search for Grace.
As the call ends, a heated argument ensues, as Tony's pissed about Daniel not caring about the
consequences, if they fail to find and kill Grace. Becky steps in, calms down Tony, and
instructs Fitch and Daniel's wife to go after the butler, as he might need their help. Daniel and
Emilie then are instructed to take the maids to the goat pit, as they do more harm than hunt.
The siblings obey their mother's order; and while there, Daniel tells his sister that he's
fed up with the family. but Emilie is steadfast with the tradition; so her boys won't get hurt.
Just then, the son wakes up, and tells them about his encounter with Grace, making Emilie proud.
Meanwhile, The butler soon finds Grace, who tries to capture and maybe even kill her. So
Grace fights back, and strangles him with a piece of her dress, before driving away with his car,
unaware that he's only pretending to be dead, and is still alive. As she drives,
Grace talks to a customer service agent to call for help. However, the car was reported stolen.
So the agent shuts down the car, leading to The butler finding Grace, and tranquilizing her. he
video calls the family as he drives back to the mansion, and informs them that he has Grace. After
that, he plays a piece of loud classical music on the radio, not noticing that Grace has woken
up. The family, who still can see them through the video call, tries to warn The butler from Grace;
but he's too busy celebrating his triumph. So Grace kicks him twice in the head, making
him lose control, and causing the car to roll into a field. Although upside down in the car,
Grace survives and gets out, while The butler is finally dead. However, Daniel finds her.
this time, he doesn't let her go, but instead knocks her out, as he realizes he can't let his
family die, just because of one woman. Tony then comes out from behind the tree,
and helps Daniel take Grace back to the mansion. Meanwhile, Becky goes to Alex's room,
and talks to him, saying that she believes that although he loves her, he will eventually stick
to his family's wishes. However, Alex looks her straight in the eyes, and firmly tells her that
he will kill her himself if Grace dies. Alex then reveals that he left, because he
realized he would do anything, if his family said it was okay. He did the things that aren't
normal for a kid to do; and it scared him that all of it felt normal. So when he met Grace,
who made him feel like he could be good, Alex knew that he would choose her over them. but Becky
believes she knows him better than Grace. As thunder rumbles outside, the family,
now wearing their robes, places Grace on the altar, ready to sacrifice her to Mr. Le Bail.
They pass around a chalice, and drink from it, while all recite in Latin. As Daniel
takes the chalice last, and Tony prepares to kill Grace, all of them, aside from Daniel,
start violently puking blood one by one. Daniel, who has poisoned them, frees Grace.
At that same time, Alex frees himself, by grinding up the foot of the bed with the handcuff. Daniel
explains to Grace that the poison he gave them, is not enough to kill them. He tries to get Grace
out; but his wife finds them; and knowing he's no longer on their side, she shoots her husband in
the throat. Instead of running away, Grace fights Daniel's wife, and takes the gun from her.
As the bullets run out, Grace whips it on her, knocking her unconscious.
She then goes to Daniel's side to help him; but he instructs her to go. As she runs into one of the
rooms, Tony finds her, and tries to kill her himself. However, Grace is no longer scared;
so she grabs the lantern, and smashes his old face with it, knocking him out. After that,
she tosses the lantern away before running again, causing the curtains to catch fire.
Meanwhile, Alex finds his brother, and tries to save him; but he's too late.
At that same time, Grace faces Becky, who tries to strangle her to death. Grace pulls the tablecloth,
grabs Mr. Le Bail's box, and bludgeons Becky to death with it. Alex then calls her attention,
having witnessed how Grace killed his mom while cursing their family.
He tries talking to her; but upon seeing the look on her face, Alex realizes she will never
stay with him. So he turns on her, and holds her captive, before yelling at the others. Tony
and Emilie gasp in shock, after seeing Becky's dead body; but Helene stops them from mourning,
as the sun has almost risen. They continue with the ritual, by holding Grace themselves.
Helene takes the lead on hailing Satan; but Grace claws Helene's hand, causing the dagger to go
through her shoulder. She removes the dagger, gets off the table, and holds it toward them
while screaming. They then see the light; and fear is evident in their eyes, even Alex.
Helene immediately looks at the empty head seat, and asks for Mr. Le Bail's forgiveness.
As they recoil in horror from their impending death, nothing happens. Helene takes this chance,
and grabs the ax to kill Grace, when she suddenly explodes into a bloody mess.
The horror returns, as the family realize that they're going to die, because they fail to
kill Grace. Mr. Le Bail turns on the phonograph, before they explode into a bloody mess one by one;
and Grace laughs at them as this happens. Alex tries to weasel his way back to Grace,
by asking for forgiveness; but she hands him the wedding ring,
and says she wants a divorce, just in time before he explodes into a hormone mess.
Grace then sees the spirit of Mr. Le Bail, the demon or the devil himself if not, sitting at the
empty head seat, nodding to her approvingly. The fire from the curtains spreads around;
and Grace exits the burning mansion, now covered with blood, especially her wedding dress. She
sits on the steps to smoke a cigarette, just as the police and ambulance arrive. The film ends
with an officer asking Grace what happened, to which she simply replies, "In-laws."
