Red Band Trailer For Fox Searchlight's "Ready Or Not"

Warning, this is definitely a Red Band trailer, & it lives up to it. That said, Ready or Not seems like it's going to be a pull no punches, thriller that has me pretty intrigued. The synopsis itself is pretty straightforward considering how crazy it really is, "Ready or Not follows a young bride (Samara Weaving) as she joins her new husband’s (Mark O’Brien) rich, eccentric family (Adam Brody, Henry Czerny, Andie MacDowell) in a time-honored tradition that turns into a lethal game with everyone fighting for their survival." It gets crazier in the more fleshed out unfolding in the trailer. The family made its fortune in board games. Leading to the brides tradition of picking a game to play with the family after the wedding. She uses a box that pops up Hide 'n Seek as the game. Then proceeds to hide not knowing the seekers will be heavily armed with intent to kill. The object of the game being survive 'til dawn. With the family believing something bad will happen if the bride manages to do so. I don't know why, but these are some of my favorite horror/thriller type films. Escape Room & even the SAW franchises come to mind. Something about people getting put in these strange situations & fighting their way out with just wit. This looks like it's really gonna have people on edge. What do y'all think though? I'm in just on this. How about y'all? Put it in the comments, like, & share.
