Here’s a guide to the cast and characters of 2019 horror gem Ready Or Not. Directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, Ready Or Not cast Samara Weaving as a newlywed who takes part in a traditional, post-wedding game of hide-and-seek with her husband’s eccentric family. What she doesn’t know is the game is linked to a demonic ritual, and they have to find and kill her before dawn, setting in place a bloody night of survival.
Ready Or Not was a surprise horror treat in 2019, which balanced great performances with sharp humor and lashings of blood, and the movie’s positive word of mouth would see it gross nearly ten times its production budget. The movie also led to Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett being hired to helm the upcoming Scream legacy sequel, which is the somewhat confusingly titled Scream; the sequel is set for a 2022 release.
Here’s a quick guide to the cast and characters of Ready Or Not 2019.
Samara Weaving – Grace Le Domas
Samara Weaving plays newlywed Grace in Ready Or Not, who marries into her husband Alex’s wealthy family. She agrees to take part in her new clan’s tradition of playing a game after the ceremony, which leads to Grace summoning her inner strength and fighting back when they seek to sacrifice her. Other Samara Weaving movies and TV shows include Bill & Ted Face The Music and Picnic At Hanging Rock.
Mark O’Brien – Alex Le Domas
Mark O’Brien is Alex in Ready Or Not, Grace’s new husband who decidedly does not want to see Grace play the lethal game. He covertly helps her try to escape the labyrinth mansion throughout the night while working to convince his family of the game’s insanity; that said, he remains loyal to them.
Adam Brody – Daniel Le Domas
Adam Brody plays Daniel, Alex’s older brother who is married to Charity (Elyse Levesque) and had a dark encounter with the game in the past. Like Alex, Daniel doesn’t want to play the game either and has no interest in helping his family kill Grace. He also becomes progressively drunker throughout the night, and later has a moment of redemption. Brody’s previous horror credits include movies like Scream 4.
Henry Czerny – Tony Le Domas
Ready Or Not’s Tony Le Domas (Henry Czerny) is the head of the family and leads the search for Grace. Unlike his sons, Tony fully believes in the family curse and will stop at nothing to kill Grace and maintain his status.
Andie MacDowell – Becky Le Domas
Andie MacDowell’s (Groundhog Day)’s Becky initially seems like she’ll make for a cool mother-in-law, but once the game begins, she proves just as devoted – and ruthless – as her husband Tony to carrying out Grace’s sacrifice.
Nicky Guadagni – Aunt Helene Le Domas
Aunt Helene quietly steals the show in Ready Or Not, and the last time hide-and-seek was played by the family, it resulted in her husband’s death. Helene has zero hesitation picking up an ax and tracking Grace down though. Helene is played by Nicky Guadagni, who also appeared in the cult 1997 horror movie Cube.
Melanie Scrofano – Emilie Le Domas
Melanie Scrofano is best known as the title character in SYFY’s Wynonna Earp, and she plays ditzy, drug-addled sister Emilie in Ready Or Not. Despite doing her best to help out in the hunt, she usually ends up shooting the maids by accident.
