10 Most Exhausted Horror Movie Protagonists
4. Grace - Ready or Not
Ready Or Not is a film that gives you a protagonist that is not only incredibly cool, but also insanely exhausted. We meet Grace Le Domas on the night of her wedding to husband; a member of the esteemed Le Domas family whose fortune came about thanks to their stellar contribution to the board game industry.
Over the course of the evening, Grace is hunted by her husband's family after picking (at random) "hide and seek" to play, as is the family tradition every time a member of the family gets married. The lengths her in-laws go to for the sake of the family's future is, at least at this point in the movie, understood to purely be based on superstition and holds no real weight. It's difficult to really hate the family despite their murderous antics, as some of them are truly three-dimensional and actually quite relatable.
Despite throwing every possible weaponised hurdle her way, Grace is still able to come out on top by the end of the movie. Her blood-soaked blonde hair and white wedding dress very much symbolises this life-changing experience that she has endured, ultimately becoming a physical manifestation of the exhaustion which she feels.
