READY OR NOT (2019)

The reason why the LE DOMAS (GRACE's in-laws) are trying to kill her on her wedding night is because of a family tradition. They think that if they don't murder her, they'll die the next day. It turns out there were right. It's one of the many moments where the movie cleverly catches the viewer off-guard, because there weren't any supernatural elements before and because we've seen many fictional cults be wrong about this kind of thing. Unfortunately, there was more material to be explored. The revelation opens up a debate. Were the in-laws justified, since they were saving their own lives? Or is there no excuse in a situation like this unless there's evidence? Instead, the movie pretty much ends when they die. How disappointing. Early on, there's a point where GRACE manages to get out to the road. She tries to stop a car, but it drives away. I get that she's angry about this, but must she scream at them, thereby making it easier to get caught? And must her insults consist of heavy-handed social commentary? The only one who tries to help GRACE & ALEX (her husband) is DANIEL (the latter's brother). He puts something inside a drink and the LE DOMAS vomit blood. TONY (the father) asks what it is and DANIEL describes the bottle he found in the kitchen. TONY figures out the kind of chemical that it is (a non-deadly one). Why didn't DANIEL let them believe it was poison? I doubt they would've continued the chase if they thought they were going to die in a matter of seconds.
