Enter her estranged sister Faith (Kathryn Newton), who was listed as her emergency contact.<\/p>\n<p datatype=\"p\" data-qa=\"Component-Component\" class=\"e8zc9q40 css-1c6uqr6 ec74h0k1\">They have not seen each other in years, since the older Grace took off for New York, much to her sister\u2019s displeasure. But no sooner are they reunited than they are abducted and taken to a remote location.<\/p>\n<p datatype=\"p\" data-qa=\"Component-Component\" class=\"e8zc9q40 css-1c6uqr6 ec74h0k1\">The family that tried to kill Grace was part of a larger cabal of Satanists, and now the remaining families must come together to finish her off. While the winner will gain major power, there are rules: anyone who kills someone from a rival clan, even accidentally, will be wiped out unceremoniously.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.scmp.com\/lifestyle\/entertainment\/article\/3347529\/ready-or-not-2-here-i-come-movie-review-elijah-wood-joins-samara-weaving-gory-sequel?utm_source=rss_feed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article At Source <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2\/5 stars Ready or Not injected some freshness into the horror genre back in 2019.
