IMAGINARY - Review

DISTRIBUTOR: Lionsgate

SYNOPSIS: Max and Jessica decide to move the family back into her childhood home, Jessica’s happy place. Her youngest step daughter Alice finds a stuffed bear named Chauncey behind a small door in the basement. Alice develops an eerie attachment to the stuffed bear and she starts playing games with Chauncey that begin playful but become increasingly sinister. Alice’s behavior becomes increasingly concerning. Jessica attempts to intervene only to realize Chauncey is more than a stuffed toy bear and she is more connected to him than she remembers.

REVIEW: Jeff Wadlow, known for directing films like "Cry Wolf" (2005), "Kick-Ass 2" (2013), and "Truth or Dare" (2018), has released the first of two films this year that delves into the theme of imaginary friends. The screenplay, co-written by the writers who worked on "The Princess and the Frog" (2009) and "Playmobil: The Movie" (2019), blends a mix of genre cliches with a dark childhood tale that feels like it is inspired by "Coraline" (2009). However, the film lacks cohesion and struggles to find its own unique voice, resulting in a jumble of elements that clash with one another.

If you or your children enjoy genre-specific entertainment, "IMAGINARY" falls short in delivering an imaginative supernatural tale and compelling characters. The central location, a house reminiscent of the one in "Poltergeist," lacks the same level of scares or physical manifestations. Alice resembles Carol Ann, Betty Buckley portrays a Tangina-like character, and Veronica Falcón is the new Dr. Lesh.

The narrative marginalizes the father figure, Max, early on as he heads out on a tour, leaving the female characters to confront the supernatural entity on their own. Gloria's explanation of the entity's nature feels superficial, and a later twist involving a character lacks emotional weight.

The three main characters, Jessica, Taylor, and Alice, possess interesting traits but fail to engage the audience. There's an aspect to them that evokes a Hallmark Channel's foray into Halloween-themed movies. The story appears to target a broad audience but fails to resonate with any specific age group or demographic.

While the casting is admirable, the performances are constrained by the material, limiting their potential impact. Actress DeWanda Wise consistently portrays an upbeat and cheery demeanor, but her lack of a poker face in the third act's surprise reveal undermines its effectiveness. Taegen Burns and Pyper Braun deliver solid performances, yet I failed to experience any genuine terror or suspense regarding their circumstances. As a fan of Betty Buckley, I found her character lacking essential elements. Her motivations remain unclear, leaving me feeling unsure of her actions and direction at times.

In terms of production, the film combines a dark fairy tale story with a bright sitcom visualization. Chauncey's realm has a dreamlike aesthetic, avoiding a nightmare feel. While other films, such as "Coraline," targeted at children, have embraced darker and more menacing themes, this film maintains a more lighthearted tone. The character of Jessica, an author/illustrator of children's books, creates a spider and a centipede that visually resemble the characters in "Coraline." The costumes contribute to the sitcom vibe. Chauncey's design resembles a furry version of a creature from "Five Nights at Freddy's." While some younger viewers may find certain visual and special effects frightening, those accustomed to computer games will have likely encountered more terrifying visuals, such as those in "Limbo" and "The Little Nightmare" series. The score incorporates numerous movements that pay homage to other genre film scores, and the end credits feature a Chauncey song with lyrics reminiscent of the "Nightmare on Elm Street" musical nursery rhyme.

IMAGINARY, while an intriguing concept, falls short due to its over-reliance on predictable cliches, resulting in a story that lacks genuine audience connection. Despite the efforts of the cast and director Jeff Wadlow's previous successes, this film unfortunately misses the mark, feeling more like an uninspired homage than a compelling, frightening narrative.

Oculus - Il riflesso del male

Benvenuti o bentornati sul nostro blog. Nello scorso articolo abbiamo continuato a discutere di fumetti, spostandoci questa volta negli USA e prendendo in esame i comics, specialmente uno riguardante il mio supereroe preferito con Superman: Stagioni. La storia parla della crescita di Clark, da quando andava al liceo a Smallville fino a quando si è trasformato in Superman, compiendo gesti…

The Boogie Man Will Get You (1942)

"To think that I should be forced to reveal my secret prematurely, robbed of my triumph - and by a manufacturer of bogus hair restorer."

W A T C H I N G

This movie is already better than all the versions of the TV series. I've seen reruns of three original, I've seen 2 episodes of the newest one. And virtually nothing of the Malcolm McDowell one.

Negative reviews be damned. I'm 30 minutes in and I like it.

NOC Review: Lackluster 'Imaginary' is a Better Fantasy Film Than a Horror Film

This time last year, Blumhouse was on a roll. M3GAN was making a killing at the box office. And the year prior they released the final film of David Gordon Green’s Halloween trilogy, and the critical and commercial hit, The Black Phone, paving the way for the juggernauts of Insidious: The Red Door and Five Nights at Freddy’s. Unfortunately following the disappointing Night Swim, the house that…

Deleted scenes from episode 16: Warzone!

Initially, Starscream organized Shockwave's release using the cryotube's remote. These scenes were cut for time fairly early on. While they were a lot of fun, they took up a fair amount of screentime and distracted from the main thrust of the episode. So, while I'm sad I didn't get to see my boards of my fave murder-jet make it to screen, I have to agree that the cut was, ultimately, the right decision.

The first sequence here takes place after Megatron puts a stop to the kid's game of pass the Allspark, which was boarded by Marvin Madrid. You can catch his drawing fading out at the beginning. The second sequence takes place after Thrash leaves the group to brood.

As usual, we didn't have the voice recordings during the storyboard phase. But, they did come in during the rough animatic phase! So, you all can thank our animatic editor, Jeff Newman, for the dulcet tones of emergency sirens and Steve Blum!
