The New York TimesAlissa WilkinsonMar 19, 2026
Ready or Not 2: Here I Come is a worthy sequel, repeating some of the same beats as its predecessor, but cleverly reinvented so that it’s still unpredictable and hilariously bizarre. Read full review

Film ThreatTom AtkinsonMar 20, 2026
Ready or Not 2: Here I Come may not be as sharp as the first film. But what it lacks in precision it makes up for with enthusiasm. The kills are inventive, the pacing rarely slackens, and most importantly, it remains tremendous fun. Read full review

Next Best PictureGiovanni LagoMar 14, 2026
Sure, at its core, it’s essentially the same film all over again. Yet Radio Silence’s direction is more elaborate, taking their years of work to come up with far more inventive set pieces, using way more gallons of blood, and, overall, a sequel that is everything we could’ve wanted and possibly a little bit more.

SlashfilmBJ ColangeloMar 13, 2026
Horror sequels often divide fans, especially when the original develops a passionate cult following like Ready or Not. Matching that film's sharp humor, bloody chaos, and bonkers energy would be no small feat. Fortunately, Ready or Not 2: Here I Come proves to be just as explosively fun as its predecessor, even if it's essentially "the same, but more." Read full review

The Daily BeastNick SchagerMar 20, 2026
Thanks to a host of colorful performances and an emphasis on over-the-top violence, they mostly pull off their double-dip trick. Read full review

Original-CinThom ErnstMar 18, 2026
It’s messy. It’s excessive. It overstays its welcome. But like any good dysfunctional family gathering, you don’t leave early. Read full review

RogerEbert.comBrian TallericoMar 14, 2026
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. Read full review

PolygonSamantha NelsonMar 13, 2026
While there aren’t as many big laughs or surprises as the first film, Ready or Not 2 has some incredible moments. Read full review

Little White LiesHannah StrongMar 20, 2026
There’s nothing subtle about these films, from their Eat The Rich messaging to the just-go-with-it in-world lore, but in all of their schlock they strike a welcome tone between winking self-awareness and retro absurdity. Read full review

ColliderRoss BonaimeMar 14, 2026
Ready or Not seemed to close the book on Grace's story, but Here I Come effectively shows that there are still potentially chapters to explore in this tale. Did we need a sequel to Ready or Not? Probably not. But hell yeah, it's great that we have one. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterAngie HanMar 14, 2026
Here I Come still comes out ahead, in the end, delivering enough of the good stuff to keep a fan yelping and laughing and cheering throughout. Read full review

The A.V. ClubAndrew CrumpMar 13, 2026
Happily, the narrative moves ahead quickly, the better to demonstrate new, inventive methods of reducing murder-happy billionaires to sloppy carcasses in between beats where Weaving and Newton get to play off of one another. Read full review

ReelViewsJames BerardinelliMar 23, 2026
There are far worse horror sequels clogging up the streaming services, and Ready or Not 2: Here I Come at least occasionally delivers on the promised gore and dark humor. Still, for those who just want to see Samara Weaving go scorched-earth on some devil-worshippers one more time, there are enough viscera and sharp objects to provide a passing entertainment.

The Seattle TimesGemma WilsonMar 20, 2026
Both Weaving and Newton do great horror-comedy work, by turns beleaguered and enraged, and share some genuinely sweet, funny moments as they repair their relationship. Read full review

The Travers TakePeter TraversMar 20, 2026
Scream queen Samara Weaving is back in this horror comedy as a bride who takes her vow of “till death do us part” way too seriously. There’s more of everything this time, except for the irreplaceable shock of the new.

The IndependentClarisse LoughreyApr 2, 2026
It’s not a matter of vengeance against the elite but survival. And Weaving bellows and grunts like a wounded creature trying to get the boot off their back. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesAmy NicholsonMar 20, 2026
Despite this sequel’s thin and rote stretches, it once again closes strong with a few images that will stick in your head for at least a week or two. No spoilers, but it’s no coincidence that “Here I Come” finally gets more interesting once it tires of hide and seek. Finding a fresh plot twist is the only way it ekes out a draw. Read full review

Radio TimesEmma SimmondsMar 18, 2026
It’s a fun, John Wick-esque expansion of this world that seems sure to satisfy fans of the first instalment, with curious casual viewers welcomed along for the ride. Read full review

Time OutPhil de SemlyenMar 17, 2026
Newton is a fun addition as the bubbly Faith, but the game Weaving is MVP again: a sharp finger in the eye of the one percent. This is a broader sequel, though, that only has more of the same for her to do. It’ll pass an evening but it won’t blow your mind. Read full review

NMEJordan BassettMar 14, 2026
There are some entertaining showdowns and Weaving again excels as the funny and fearsome Grace, one of modern horror’s toughest protagonists. Read full review

VarietyOwen GleibermanMar 13, 2026
“Ready or Not 2” delivers exactly what it promises: a garishly booby-trapped, winkingly clever-dumb good time. If that’s your idea of a good time. Read full review

EmpireHarry StainerMar 13, 2026
Round two’s double-or-nothing approach means there are fewer surprises this time around. Yet as Weaving’s endlessly watchable bride gets even bloodier, it’s hard not to crack a smile at the relentless fun. Read full review

IGNTom JorgensenMar 13, 2026
Ready or Not 2: Here I Come is an agreeable, if unnecessary sequel which, through its larger scale, proves that less is often more. Read full review

The RevealScott TobiasMar 27, 2026
The satirical promise of Ready or Not 2 leads to few comic payoffs—or even much resembling a joke, despite the film’s irreverent tone—and the snippiness between Grace and Faith seems forced after they’ve been taking fire together for so much of the film. Here’s hoping that Ready or Not 3: Olly Olly Oxen Free better meets the moment. Read full review

New York Magazine (Vulture)Alison WillmoreMar 20, 2026
Ready or Not 2 moves at a decent clip and is generally entertaining, but there’s something deflatingly lazy about its slate of rich assholes, which is heavy on standard-issue entitled daughters and smug failsons who treat the staff like props. Read full review

The Associated PressJocelyn NoveckMar 19, 2026
It’s hard to pinpoint why this next level of Grace’s very bad wedding night, again directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, feels darker and heavier — and hence, less enjoyable — than the original, which managed to maintain a bouncy feel, even with bodies combusting at an absurd rate. But if we have to blame someone, we’re gonna go with the doctor from “The Pitt.” Read full review

Chicago TribuneKatie WalshMar 19, 2026
Ready or Not 2: Here I Come feels behind the ball, not ahead of the game, and unfortunately, this is no escapist, or even cathartic, horror romp. Read the news instead if you’d like a real scare. Read full review

TheWrapZachary LeeMar 14, 2026
As has been the case with many a horror project she’s been a part of in the past, Samara Weaving’s guttural screams can cover a multitude of sins, but even her fully embodied performance and powers can’t save a movie that mistakes stilted recurrence for high-octane throwback. Read full review

Ready or Not 2: Here I Come delivers short-term thrills in an emotionally hollow gore fest. Read full review

IndieWireChase HutchinsonMar 14, 2026
All you’re left with is the echo of what was better before. You watch only able to wish Weaving was given more to work with than this, or, at the very least, greater room for her iconic scream to rattle you once more. Read full review

The GuardianBenjamin LeeMar 19, 2026
It’s all too clumsily calculated to deliver the raucous two-drinks-in blast it so desperately wants us to have and in a year that’s already given us better, bolder B-movie examples than usual (Sam Raimi’s Send Help and monkey-gone-mad horror Primate), it creaks that much louder. It is film-making far too in love with itself to care if you love it too. Read full review

If Ready or Not was a chess match, Here I Come is tic-tac-toe. Read full review

Movie NationRoger MooreMar 20, 2026
While there are a couple of laughs and comical come-uppances, the picture drowns in its own gore. Read full review

San Francisco ChronicleMichael OrdoñaMar 19, 2026
It’s billed as another horror comedy, but when tidbits of humor manifest, it feels forced. There are few notable moments. Read full review
