Published

Fox Searchlight’s ultra fun Ready or Not (read our review) rolls its way to Digital HD today (hurray!) with Blu-ray/DVD set for December 3rd.

In the film, the sanctity of marriage goes straight to hell when a young bride (Samara Weaving) competes in a time-honored tradition with her new husband (Mark O’Brien) and his insanely rich and eccentric Le Domas family (Adam Brody, Henry Czerny, and Andie MacDowell). The bride’s wedding night takes a turn for the worst when she realizes she is at the center of a lethal game of ‘Hide and Seek’ and must fight her not-so-loveable in-laws for her own survival.

The in-home release is slaying with special features as writers Guy Busick and R. Christopher Murphy give insight on their script’s exploration of the Faustian bargain made by the Le Domas family. Directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin, Tyler Gillett and Producer Chad Villella explain how they used practical effects to deliver an authentically bloody film.

Bloody Disgusting has another exclusive look at one of the featurettes in which the filmmaking team praise actor Henry Czerny, who plays a 60-year-old described in the script as a “petulant child”. The character leads the family in their old and bizarre traditions which leads to a lot of bloodshed.
