There are unexpected experiments and stories where seemingly harmless rituals turn into nightmares.

On March 20, the sequel to the critically acclaimed horror comedy Ready or Not was released – a movie in which a family tradition turns into a brutal game of survival.

If you enjoyed the flick, in which the heroine finds herself trapped in a world where the rules are dictated by her superiors and her attempts to negotiate peacefully quickly fizzle out, we've compiled five more works that operate on the same principle.

1. 'The Hunt', 2020

IMDb Score: 6.6/10

From the very first minutes, Craig Zobel's movie sets the scene: a group of wealthy individuals discusses hunting "undesirables" in a private chat room.

Then, several strangers find themselves in the woods and realize they have been brought there against their will. Cut off from the outside world, they become the wealthy group's prey.

The plot revolves around the victims' attempts to escape and understand the rules of the game – they are either given a chance to find a weapon or encounter traps, dupes, and pre-arranged scenarios.

2. 'Get Out', 2017

IMDb Score: 7.8/10

However, Chris quickly begins to notice things that make him wary, such as the servants' strange behavior, awkward remarks, and their overly intense interest in him.

Margot and her companion, Tyler, arrive at a private island home to an exclusive restaurant owned by the renowned chef, Julian Slowik.

The trip is designed around the principle of exclusivity, with a limited number of guests, strict staff supervision, and meticulous attention to detail.

During dinner, the guests realize that this is more than an evening of haute cuisine. It has transformed into a performance where everyone has a role to play and the chef and his team have an eerie goal.

4. 'You're Next', 2011

IMDb Score: 6.6/10

Adam Wingard's project opens with a scene in a remote house. A man spends the evening with his young lover, who suddenly disappears. He soon notices signs of an intruder in the room, including a bloody message on the window that reads, "You're next."

The story then shifts to the Davison family's country mansion: the parents are hosting a family gathering and have invited their adult children and their partners to the family home.

However, during dinner, it becomes clear that the family's relationships are extremely strained. The turning point comes abruptly when the house comes under attack, communication is lost, and escape becomes nearly impossible.

Director Karyn Kusama's movie begins with an ordinary situation: Will receives an invitation to a party from his ex-wife. Having experienced the death of their son and subsequently separated, the couple's reunion becomes a test of sorts.

From the very beginning, Will notices that his ex-wife has changed – she speaks differently, acts more confidently, and seems overly calm.

Furthermore, Will meets her new friends and senses that they are up to no good. It seems as if the evening has a hidden agenda.
