Grace barely walked away from her wedding night with the Le Domas clan, and the game is not finished.

Samara Weaving returns as the bloodied bride, joined by Kathryn Newton, Sarah Michelle Gellar and David Cronenberg.

A few thoughts on Ready or Not: Here I Come

For another deadly party where survival means outplaying a house full of aristocrats, try The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle, a body-hopping mystery set at a doomed manor. Beyond the page, Squid Game turns the same rich-against-desperate cruelty into a national spectacle, and Knives Out plays the eat-the-rich premise for laughs instead of screams.

Games where losing means you don't walk away

Ready or Not: Here I Come throws Grace into another round of the Le Domas family's fatal tournament, and that hook, a rigged game nobody can simply walk away from, runs through other stories built the same way. Saw's traps, Would You Rather's dinner party gauntlet, Escape Room's puzzles and Squid Game's contestants all turn survival into a fixed contest with a body count.

Old money that hunts whoever marries into it

Ready or Not: Here I Come keeps its horror inside the Le Domas fortune, where old money buys the right to hunt whoever marries in. The Hunt strips that premise to elites stalking prey for sport, Thir13en Ghosts and The Omen IV hide their terror in a cursed inheritance, Dracula: Prince of Darkness answers to an aristocratic bloodline, and Brotherhood of the Wolf hides its killers in a titled elite.

Horror sequels that would rather make you laugh than scream

Ready or Not: Here I Come treats its slasher chaos as gallows humor as much as horror, and that same campy nerve runs through horror sequels that refuse to take their own mythology seriously. Leprechaun 2 and Leprechaun in the Hood keep a wisecracking killer front and center, Lake Placid 2 and Night of the Demons 2 play their gore for laughs, and Uncanny Annie carries the same B-movie glee into its own low-budget shocks.

Inheriting a fortune that comes with monstrous rules attached

This sequel keeps Grace bound to the Le Domas family's blood ritual, and money as a cage rather than a gift is the same trap in these family sagas. Petals on the Wind and Dawn follow young women uncovering that their inheritance comes wrapped in secrets and control, The Institute traps its kids inside a shadowy organization's own rulebook, and The Dark Half turns one family's secret into a literal monster.
