Children’s Game Turns to Comical Bloodbath in Red-Band Trailer for Ready or Not

Think your in-laws are bad? Well, at least your new mother-in-law isn’t a maniacal murderer chasing you down with a crossbow.

In the first trailer for Ready or Not, Grace, a young bride played by Samara Weaving, starts out all smiles in a lacy white dress. But things quickly take a turn as she joins her husband’s (Mark O’Brien) wealthy board game tycoon family in a time-honored tradition thats turns deadly.

In this gratuitously violent horror-comedy, Grace’s eccentric new in-laws carry on a bloody legacy by playing a different, randomly selected children’s game every time someone marries into the family.

When an unsuspecting Grace unfortunately chooses hide-and-seek, the one game that, through family history, always ends in bloodshed as in-laws seek to kill their target after discovering his or her hiding place, child’s play turns to bloodbath.

“The rules are simple,” one in-law ominously explains. “You hide anywhere, and we try to find you.”

Then cut to the scene where he’s handing out guns, knives and crossbows—the phrase “shotgun wedding” suddenly takes on a whole new meaning.
