from The Geekcentric Podcast · host Geekcentric

Today, we sit down with Ready or Not 2 directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillet to discuss returning to the chaotic horror-comedy world of the original film. In this conversation, they talk about how the sequel balances terror and absurdity, how their collaboration with Samara Weaving evolved as her character Grace returns, and how filming in Hamilton and the Niagara region in Canada helped shape the larger scale and atmosphere of the film. It’s a behind-the-scenes look at the creative process of building a bigger sequel while staying true to what made Ready or Not such a fan-favourite horror film.
