Ever since the Radio Silence duo – aka Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett – announced that they’d be returning to the world of Ready Or Not, we’ve been bursting for it. Bursting with excitement yes, but also with gore and viscera. So, quite literally, hold on to your butts: the first trailer for Ready Or Not 2: Here I Come has arrived, and it looks like things are about to get a whole lot worse for Samara Weaving’s Grace. Because, after the, er, explosive climax of the last film (if you haven’t seen it, you really need to get caught up), the wider Le Domas dynasty is coming for her – including Sarah Michelle Gellar’s Ursula. Plus, Grace has assistance from her sister, Kathryn Newton’s Faith. Check out the trailer:
We are, as Ayo Edebiri would say, too seated. That looks like a blast, with all the wit and gore and pulpy fun that made Ready Or Not such a horror hit. And adding Buffy The actual Vampire Slayer into the mix is stellar move for a sequel – we even see Gellar impaling Weaver’s Grace, slayer-style. Ouch! This is a nice meeting of worlds for Radio Silence, who last worked with Newton on their previous film, vampire ballerina horror Abigail. She has previous horror credentials, of course, from Freaky, Lisa Frankenstein, and Paranormal Activity 4.
Also starring in this one are Elijah Wood, Lost’s Néstor Carbonell, Kevin Durand (who also starred for Radio Silence in Abigail), and the legendary David Cronenberg. Yes, that David Cronenberg! Here I Come also sees original writers Guy Busick and R. Christopher Murphy return on script duties – clearly the Ready Or Not world is one the entire creative team wanted to come back to.

We’ll see if Ready Or Not 2: Here I Come (look, let's all just agree to drop the ‘2’ when we read it out loud) lives up to the original when it hits cinemas on 10 April. Maybe bring a poncho, in case of any sudden eruptions.
