Ready Or Not

Ready Or Not is a 2018 horror short film written by and directed by Mike Barkhoff. It was released on April 13th, 2018, and stars Ashtun O'Rourke, who was also in Candlelight.

Production
The film was made on January 1st, 2018, and released on April 13th, 2018. It was Barkhoff's first "Friday the 13th" release, a trope he followed with in Friday The 13th in 2019 and Norff's "Fact Diss EP" in 2020. It was his second of three horror short films, following Candlelight and preceding Breathe.

The idea came to him during an actual scare he encountered while playing a game of hide-and-seek with his cousins.

Reception
The reception was positive to the film, but not as much as Candlelight. Barkhoff considers it better.
