'Ready or Not' ending explained: Bloody laughs at the expense of the 1%

Warning: The following story contains minor spoilers for the horror thriller "Ready or Not," in theaters now. There will be another warning before discussion of the film's ending.

The highbrow specialty studio Fox Searchlight doesn't often delve into popcorn thrillers, but the studio's latest, "Ready or Not," is a revenge picture with a specific demographic in mind.

"It's definitely hating on the 1%," said star Samara Weaving with a laugh.

The film follows former foster child Grace (Weaving) on the eve of her wedding to Alex Le Domas, the billionaire heir to the Le Domas Dominion's gaming fortune. The family has managed to build generational wealth via board games and sporting goods. And maybe one small deal with the devil.
