This reinforces the underlying theme that rich families like the Le Domases are willing to crush "little people" like Grace if only for the sake of their family legacy. Though Helene claims to have loved her husband, when it came down to it, she saw his life as insignificant as compared to her family's and was willing to have him die if it meant the survival of her family. Hide-and-seek had only been played once before in the current family's lifetime, and that was when Aunt Helene (Nicky Guadagni) got married, which audiences see in the flashback that opens the film. Alex explains to Grace that he'd just hoped that she'd be lucky enough to draw any other card. The challenge depends on the card the newcomer draws from a mysterious box the Le Domases inherited from Le Bail. And this game could be anything from checkers and chess, but the hide-and-seek game is the only one with a lethal twist. He granted Le Domas and his successors all of their wishes for riches and success, but with the condition that each time someone new joins, the family and their new recruit must play a game together.
Luckily, the bloody ending of Ready or Not sees Grace emerge triumphant.Īs the family patriarch Tony (Henry Czerny) explains in the film, the ritual all began when his great grandfather Victor Le Domas made a deal with the devil, who he met in the form of a fellow merchant seaman called Mr. The Le Domases believe that, if they don't sacrifice Grace in their Satanic ritual before sunrise, all of their lives will be taken instead.
But before she can officially be considered part of the family, Grace must participate in a game of hide-and-seek that's meant to end in her death. In Ready or Not, a former foster kid named Grace (Samara Weaving) marries Alex Le Domas (Mark O'Brien), who comes from an old and extremely wealthy clan who made their fortune in board games.
