Horror comedy is not an easy genre and I can't really think of many that are actually good, although I'm not a die hard fan of the genre either. Ready or Not succeeds quite well tho, I was entertained. It's not that much of a horror, as it's not really scary, but rather depends on the gore. I bet real gore hounds would've liked even more, but a few scenes were a bit too much for me, not a huge gore fan here.
My kind of "horror" comedy is the lighter kind, Joe Dante etc, not necessarily the Evil Dead etc kind that are more hard core.
What I liked was the somewhat cliched crazy family mansion, candles, thunder, secret passages kind of old school "gothic" atmosphere, it made a lot for me. Acting was pretty good (although too much flat out screaming for me), the comedy was quite nicely timed and the characters were nicely balancing between crazy and goofy.
Well made movie not to be taken too seriously!
