Editorial Review

7.2 /10

Double the leads, double the chaos

Samara Weaving's Grace is as bloodied and ferocious as ever, but it is Kathryn Newton's Faith who gives the sequel its emotional surprise — a sister dynamic that adds genuine stakes to the relentless carnage.

Baroque-meets-slaughter

Sven Faulconer's viola-da-gamba score and Radio Silence's characteristically precise practical effects work together to give Here I Come a distinct identity from the first film, even as it amplifies everything fans loved about the original.

Pros

  • Weaving and Newton's electric sisterly dynamic
  • Expanded mythology adds genuine stakes and world-building
  • Sven Faulconer's distinctive baroque score
  • Practical effects and Radio Silence's genre craft at full force
  • 89% audience score — fans embraced it

Cons

  • Lower critic score than first film (75% vs 89%)
  • Modestly soft theatrical opening — finished fourth on opening weekend
  • Some felt the expanded mythology diluted the claustrophobic tension of the original
Verdict A bloody, funny and unexpectedly emotionally rich sequel that earns its place by widening the mythology rather than simply repeating it — Weaving and Newton are an electric double act, and Radio Silence's genre craft remains exemplary.

AI Review

Radio Silence's 2026 return — Samara Weaving's Grace teams with Kathryn Newton for a bigger, bloodier and mythologically richer sequel that audiences loved even more than critics ($42.9M WW, 75% RT critics / 89% audience), now streaming on Hulu and Disney+.

Stream on Hulu — watch Ready or Not (2019) immediately before for maximum impact; they flow directly into each other.

Trivia

  • The sequel picks up immediately after the first film's ending — Bettinelli-Olpin and Gillett describe it as continuing in real-time from the moment Grace survived the Le Domas family.
  • David Cronenberg — the legendary director of The Fly (1986), Videodrome (1983) and A History of Violence (2005) — appears in an acting role in Ready or Not 2, continuing his late-career pivot to performing.
  • The film's Rotten Tomatoes scores are nearly the mirror inverse of the first film — Ready or Not (2019) scored 89% critics and 78% audience, while Here I Come scored 75% critics and 89% audience.
  • Composer Sven Faulconer developed a 'baroque-meets-slaughter' score that incorporated the viola da gamba — a Renaissance string instrument — to evoke the ancient, wealth-steeped mythology of the High Council.
  • The soundtrack was released by Hollywood Records on March 18, 2026 — two days before the theatrical release — with Brian Tyler (composer of the original Ready or Not) returning as score producer.
  • Filmed in Toronto, Canada in April–June 2025; the city's built environment was used to double for multiple international elite family settings.
  • Ready or Not 2 opened in fourth place at the US box office on its opening weekend, behind Project Hail Mary, Hoppers and Dhurandhar: The Revenge — a modestly soft launch that belied its strong word-of-mouth.
  • Digital bonus features include a four-part making-of featurette: Written in Blood, Casting the Chaos, Designed for Destruction, and Blood, Guts and Practical Mayhem.

Quotes

"I survived one game. I didn't sign up for the whole tournament."

"Double or nothing."

Goofs

  • Grace's wounds and blood patterns change inconsistently between some of the connecting scenes picked up immediately after the first film's ending.
