So in this outlets commentary on the killing fields for our latest cinema issues article we thought that this film would be totally eclipsed by Ready or Not 2. However, upon watching this film easily is the better.
Both films have the annoying sister gimmick, however, this one has far less time with them needing to coddle each other and talk about their feelings.
Asia is much cooler and more badass than Grace who rather than turn into a hardened survivor they just tread as a “mess”. The action in particular is great in this film and is well choreographed for the most part.
The Satanist stuff towards the end gets a little convoluted herein, but for the most part it works well as flavouring. It is again very similar to Ready or Not but it manages to be different in that the Devil figure behind the forces in this film takes a more active role. It must be stated the gimmick of immortality makes the stakes feel a hell of a lot lower.
Overall, a good film if a little flawed at times in terms of premise.
1/5
Pros.
Zazie Beetz is great
The action is good
The ending is amusing
Cons.
The pacing
The sister stuff as well as the immorality are plot issues
