Ready or Not 2: Scream Queens Dominate Hulu Charts

Currently dominating Hulu's streaming charts is "Ready or Not 2: Here I Come," a sequel that has held the top spot for approximately two weeks. This film picks up immediately after the events of its 2019 predecessor, which featured Samara Weaving as Grace, a bride forced to play a deadly game of hide-and-seek with her new wealthy in-laws on her wedding night. The original story concluded with Grace surviving the ritualistic sacrifice intended to preserve the family's opulent lifestyle.

The sequel escalates the peril by placing Grace and her sister, Faith, portrayed by Kathryn Newton, into another perilous hide-and-seek challenge. This time, the game is against a consortium of powerful families, with the ultimate prize being immense global influence for the victor. Both Weaving and Newton are recognized as formidable "scream queens" in the modern horror landscape, with their combined presence being a significant draw for the film.

Samara Weaving has established herself as a horror icon through roles in "Mayhem," "The Babysitter," and a brief appearance in "Scream VI," in addition to her lead in the first "Ready or Not." Kathryn Newton, known for her versatile performances, has also made significant contributions to the genre with her work in "Paranormal Activity 4," "Freaky," "Lisa Frankenstein," and "Abigail." Their collaboration in "Ready or Not 2: Here I Come" has been praised as a masterstroke, uniting two of the genre's brightest stars.
