It's a Deadly Game of Hide and Seek in Red Band Trailer for Ready or Not

If you thought meeting your in-laws for the first time was awkward, you haven’t met the family in Fox Searchlight’s upcoming new film, Ready or Not. The official red band trailer for the movie was released earlier today and it puts on display an unorthodox game of hide and seek, which isn’t the most normal or sane of festivities to celebrate a wedding with your new family to begin with.

In Ready or Not, a young bride joins her new husband’s rich, eccentric family in a time-honored tradition that turns into a lethal game with everyone fighting for their survival. When choosing this game, little did she know that this was a version with a few special rules, namely that being found at all has deadly consequences, as you will see in the trailer above.

The film is directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, based on a screenplay from Guy Busick and R. Christopher Murphy. Starring is Samara Weaving (The Babysitter, Ash vs Evil Dead), Adam Brody (Jennifer’s Body), and Mark O’Brien (Arrival), with Henry Czerny (Sharp Objects) and Andie MacDowell (Groundhog Day).

Ready or Not will be released on August 21st, 2019. As usual, be sure to follow Dead Entertainment for all the latest news and updates.
