phancy.com notes: More fun than the first one. Sure, Samara Weaving is now magically a super badass, and her and Kathryn Newton recover almost instantly from massive amounts of physical damage, but we can overlook that when we're having fun. The larger cast helps vary the stakes and action, and there are fewer bumbling idiots than the first movie, which keeps the tension up and the eye-rolls down. I don't know how or why you'd make a third one of these, but I'd probably watch it.

3 out of 4 stars - rogerebert.com

Just as "John Wick: Chapter Two" took the relatively simple world set up by the first film about an assassin avenging the death of his dog and blew it up into a universe with its own mythology, "Ready or Not 2: Here I Come" builds on the premise of the hit 2019 thriller with such gusto that it requires a character to be around to explain the by-laws out of a giant book. The clutter of "Here I Come" will be off-putting to some looking for that sleek, no-nonsense "one woman vs. her in-laws" approach of the first film but returning directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett and writers Guy Busick and R. Christopher Murphy are having so much fun in this expanded sandbox that it becomes hard to complain. Of course, it helps a great deal to have a wickedly fun ensemble ready to play this murderous game, led once again by a physical, engaged, immediate performance from Samara Weaving.

Grade: B- - Ready Or Not 2: Here I Come once again paints the walls with the Satanic 1%

Ready Or Not 2: Here I Come hews closely to the original's formula, adding a succession feud subplot for no appreciable reason other than to have David Cronenberg echo his part from the fourth season of the Chiller TV series Slasher. As horror premises go, "outrun the ultra-wealthy and armed Satanic cultists before they kill you" packs the average filmgoer's recommended daily intake of storytelling drama; no supplements are needed to enhance the film's effects, though it is nice that Grace and Faith have foils in Ursula and Titus, the sibling duo likeliest to kill them and secure the "high seat"–the position of utmost power in their organization's hierarchy.
