Meet the players of a game most deadly in our exclusive Ready or Not clip

Last Updated on July 30, 2021

Back in the day, I was an ace player of Hide-and-seek. When it was my turn to hide, every shadow, cupboard, and unfinished basement became my safehaven. If I was the seeker, there was never spot so elusive that it would fly beneath my radar. As I recall, many rounds and the game resulted in my friends giving up on discovering my whereabouts. I was that good.

Today we are proud to host an exclusive clip from READY OR NOT, the upcoming mystery thriller from directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett. The horror-tinged feature stars THE BABYSITTER's Samara Weaving as Grace, a bride whose wedding night takes a sinister turn when her eccentric new in-laws force her to take part in a terrifying game.

In the clip, we find Weaving's Grace expressing concern for her betrothed, Alex Le Domas, as played by Mark O'Brien (ARRIVAL, CITY ON A HILL). With sweat beginning to form on his brow, Alex confesses that he doesn't feel well. It's my guess that the reason he's feeling ill at ease is because he knows that a deadly game is soon to begin, and that he and his bride might not survive the night. As the clip plays on, introductions are made as select members of the Le Domas family gather round. It soon becomes clear that there's bad blood shared between the Le Domas clan, and that perhaps some of them simply can't wait to off one another before the dawning of a new day.

With a script written by Guy Busick (URGE) and Ryan Murphy (MINUTES PAST MIDNIGHT), READY OR NOT stars Samara Weaving (THREE BILLBOARDS OUTSIDE EBBING, MISSOURI), Adam Brody (IN THE LAND OF WOMEN), Mark O'Brien (GOALIE), Henry Czerny (CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER), ANDIE MACDOWELL( GROUNDHOG DAY), Melanie Scrofano (WYNONNA EARP), Kristian Brun (THE HANDMAID'S TALE), Nicky Guadagni (CUBE), and Elyse Levesque (ORPHAN BLACK), among others.

I'd like to think that I'd stand a fighting chance against the Le Domas family in a game of Hide-and-seek. I might not be the fastest runner, should shit really hit the fan, but I have a knack for discovering the very best of hiding places. Also, if I knew that it was a game of life or death, I wouldn't be a afraid to bury a fireplace poker through the eye of a nefarious seeker. So, who wants to play with me?

READY OR NOT will sneak into theaters on August 21.
