Summary

In this week's Versus battle, Pablo and Sebastian dive into the "Horror-Action-Comedy" subgenre where rich elites turn hunting humans into a sport. We compare the 2019 gothic breakout hit Ready or Not against the 2020 politically charged lightning rod The Hunt. From demonic wedding night pacts to "Mannorgate" conspiracies, we break down six rounds of combat to see which final girl reigns supreme.
