Release date

'Ready or Not' is arriving in theaters on Friday, August 23.

Plot

According to the official synopsis of the film, "A bride's wedding night takes a sinister turn when her eccentric new in-laws force her to take part in a terrifying game." The game in context is a gory ritual where the bride is being hunted by her in-laws for some bizarre sacrifice. Clearly, things can never end well in this scenario, and most certainly not without some significant deaths. The bride, Grace's in-laws are the wealthy owners of a board game empire and are not hesitant to do away with traditional fancy dinners to make room for ritualistic sacrifices of the latest member of their family. Exciting!
