Lower is better
Review
This 2019 horror-comedy throws a foster-kid bride into a literal blood-soaked game of hide-and-seek against her new satanic rich in-laws. The whole thing runs on "eat the rich" satire—Grace straight-up yells "fucking rich people!" while turning the tables. Strong final-girl vibes with some feminist framing from the star, but it's all wrapped in gory laughs and zero lectures. Class-war jabs hit hard and often, yet no identity swaps, diversity quotas, or modern activist preaching—just fun, bloody revenge against cartoon elites.
Breakdown
These are the editorial factors and ratings behind our score for Ready or Not.
Woke representation / casting
Standard white ensemble; no swaps, diversity pushes, or marketing around identity.
Woke political dialogue
Recurring anti-rich rants and class jabs are front-and-center.
Identity-driven story themes
Class outsider vs. elite is core, with mild female-empowerment framing.
Western institutional / cultural critique
Wealthy family literally demonic for maintaining power—satire is blatant and recurring.
Woke character or canon changes
Fully original story, no reinterpretations or public debate.
Anti-woke backlash and complaints
Near-total absence; not a flashpoint.
Creator track record context
Genre horror focus; no strong activist pattern aligning with this film's content.
