Radio Silence's new horror movie READY OR NOT starring Samara Weaving (ASH VS EVIL DEAD, MAYHEM), Andie MacDowell (SEX, LIES, AND VIDEOTAPE), and Adam Brody (JENNIFER'S BODY) hit a theater near you this past weekend to stellar word-of-mouth. And today we've learned that even Mr. Stephen King himself loved the flick.

In fact, King took to Twitter the other day to let us all know:

READY OR NOT is big fun–a variation on the "last girl left" horror movie that is by turns scary and very funny. Samara Weaving is terrific, and the cinematography is gorgeous. The film doesn't reinvent the wheel, but it's damn cool.

And if THAT recommend doesn't get you out of the house and into your local multiplex, I don't know what will!

READY OR NOT has been rated R for "violence, bloody images, language throughout, and some drug use" and follows:

A young bride (Weaving) as she joins her new husband’s (O’Brien) rich, eccentric family (Brody, Czerny, MacDowell) in a time-honored tradition that turns into a lethal game with everyone fighting for their survival.

The film is directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett from a screenplay written by Guy Busick and R. Christopher Murphy. Bradley J. Fischer, Willem Sherak, James Vanderbilt, and Tripp Vinson produced the movie which stars Samara Weaving, Andie MacDowell, Adam Brody, Mark O'Brien, Henry Czerny, and Elyse Levesque. Chad Villella, Tara Farney, Tracey Nyberg, and Daniel Bekerman are the executive producers on the motion picture. Fox Searchlight Pictures, Mythology Entertainment, and Vinson Films are behind the flick which is NOW PLAYING at a theater near you.
