    the fact that alex doesn’t tell her anything beforehand shows that he didn’t care to see her survive
  • @piffba
    Can we just appreciate the fact that in the end, her white wedding dress is black? Like funeral or grieving clothes? She went from being happily married to “grieving” her new family in 6-7 hours
  • @TigerzEye11
    You forgot the brother he’s a massive help and obviously is willing to die to save her.
  • @tiabennett7934
    Alex was a selfish rich kid who despite desperately wanting to separate himself from his family he never had the strength to. And I totally agree with the fact that if he really thought he could save grace he would have NEVER taken her there in the first place. This movie just shows how strong and hard it is for some people to abandon family pressure and indoctrination.

    " they won't beat the curse if I kill myself first" Easy win Edit: some people say that it would be a stalemate or draw or whatever but i win because i get everything i want: they wont beat the curse and i get to leave this mortal coil.
  • I think that Grace only escaping because she got lucky a bunch of times was actually really realistic and well written. It crushed the trope of “female protag suddenly becomes hardcore fighting machine when in a dire situation”. Grace was a completely normal person with no survival abilities outside of natural instincts, thus she makes a lot of dumb decisions & mainly gets lucky to survive. Not only did it make her character more relatable but felt really fresh for a thriller.

    For months I would be saying something then out of nowhere would say “God, why did Daniel have to die?”.
  • @jessinator9492
    The reason why Grace just cant stay hidden all night long is because she probably doesnt even believe that her husbands family will die in the morning and she believes that she has to get out or else her husbands crazy family would kill her
  • @Astridlu26
    He didn't turn on her because she killed family members. He turned on her because he realized that after everything that had happened even if she survived she wouldn't have continued their relationship. So being the selfish douche he was like if I can't have you...

    Actually, there were instances where Grace could have just beaten the game after Alex's initial attempt to save her. After she realized the game was lethal, all she had to do was hide. The family ends up finding her multiple times precisely because she tries to escape to a place outside of the property. One particularly great hiding spot that we get to see in the movie itself is the area where they dump all the bodies. It is an area with no security cameras, is dark, has multiple humanoid figures to hide herself amongst, and is an area that they really wouldn't look for her at. Only issue with that spot was that she only went in there after she was found by the little brat who shot her hand and the door was smashed by her falling through. (honestly, I'm surprised how incompetent these people were that they didn't search down there). Had she climbed down there on her own, the family would probably have failed to find her and lost the game. Even if people came to dump the maids' bodies, they'd just throw them down, not actively search the area. If she's lying down underneath the piles of corpses, she'd been basically undetectable.
  • one thing that bothered me, the only family member grace intentionally killed was the mom. she didn’t kill daniel, his wife charity was the one who shot him, alex just assumed it was grace since he didn’t see it
  • @quinnzykir
    Alex: How dare you kill my family in self defense. They were trying to maim and and sacrifice you to the dark one. I hate you now Grace.
  • @astrakory4983
    guys this has an easy solution, did three blocks down and place a block over your head. just make sure to crouch so they don't see your nametag
  • @annikaruelo1383
    Advice for your cat: Cats usually like pets, but when your cat lays on their belly, they doesn’t mean they want belly pets. I mean in some situations maybe they would, but cats usually don’t like people touching their belly. The reason why they roll on their belly’s in frount of you is to show that they trust you, because cats find the belly as their most vulnerable spot. Maybe this will help with you cat problems.
  • @COZYTW
    I think there is a viable solution for Grace to survive, actually. Given the large amounts of furniture, she could purposefully set up the rooms such that they only have one opening etc. She can anticipate the enemies coming by making them enter from a single chokepoint. And if she hears a lot of them coming about she can always pull the sofa from the door and sneak out another way, relocate to another part of the mansion etc. That's provided she somehow manages to get the map early on, though. So it's really tough.
  • @cogniferous2537
    This isn't true, me and my dad were playing hide and seek for 9 years and I still haven't found him. He could definitely survive this.
  • @sceidna5765
    how to survive ready or not: dont get married
  • I’m confused. Why would he marry her if he loves her? He would know and if he marries her, they have to kill her. If they don’t, he would die.
