Ready or Not, They WIll Kill You

I’m a fan of variations on a theme so I’m never mad when someone decides to take a premise of one film and go their own way with it. Hotel Artemis wasn’t the greatest movie but I liked seeing a kind of new spin on the idea of The Continental from John Wick.

Taking this to a new level is They Will Kill You, which not only seems a lot like Ready or Not (or You’re Next or a bunch of other trapped-in-a-building flicks) but it’s also opening on the SAME DAY as Ready or Not 2. I have to think that that doesn’t bode well for the quality of the film or, at least, Warner Bros’s faith in the movie because you’d think you’d want a little distance from the carbon copy that already has a built-in audience (since the first Ready or Not was better than I expected.)

Anyway, here are the trailers for Ready or Not and They Will Kill You. I didn’t post Ready or Not 2 because it spoils the first film, which you should check out if you haven’t already.

The films open March 27th which gives everyone ample time to come up with their list of favorite carbon copy movie duos. The two that always immediately jump to mind are Antz/A Bug’s Life and Armageddon/Deep Impact.
