Imaginary

Good movie 🍿 not scary lol but good 👍🏾

Watched *Imaginary* purely because I’m a sucker for creepy childhood premise stuff—even if it’s the 100th “scary imaginary friend” movie. Sadly, this one barely tries. The acting? Oof. Everyone feels like they're in a different, much worse movie—except the little girl, who somehow holds the whole mess together. It’s painfully boring, the scares are nonexistent, and the pacing drags like it forgot it was a horror film. The story *could’ve* been cool, but the execution is so lazy it feels like a first draft that got accidentally released. Wasted potential wrapped in yawns. 1.5 stars for the concept... and the kid.

This one had a lot of potential, and there are definitely things it does well. The core idea-a childhood imaginary friend turning sinister-is actually creepy, and the film plays with that concept in some fun ways. There are some solid visuals and a few moments that really worked for me. The performances are fine, and I liked that it tried to explore childhood trauma and repressed memories, even if it didn't go as deep as it could have. The design of the creature was neat, too-more creepy and sad than outright terrifying, which was kind of refreshing. But the film plays it pretty safe. It feels more like a PG-13 horror than something that really pushes the envelope. A lot of the scares are telegraphed, and the ending doesn't really land. You can kind of see where it's going early on, and it never really swerves from that path. Still, for a casual watch, it's not bad. Probably a decent gateway horror for younger viewers or those who don't like super intense stuff. Just don't expect anything groundbreaking.

Dumb, unscary, and lacking many things that might have helped it from becoming it's own trashy nightmare, also a pretty basic horror movie.

Genuinely underrated movie. Especially if you had an imaginary friend of your own, or four.

Dream sequence to start? Check.
Dad leaves halfway through? Check.
Little kid is an absolute idiot? Check.
Threatening to show really messed-up violent images then never actually showing them? Check.
Ending fakeout? Check.
Mysterious incidental character turns out to be a lunatic? Check. Yeah you don’t need to see it.

Agreeably a solid concept upfront with effective chills from its own imagination that surpasses many horror flicks, but the recognized trope within anchored it down into familiar realms and disbeliefs with unceremonious conclusion that conceptually lingers to certify its dimensional tale. (B-)

I wish I could imagine I didn't see this movie the final act was awful

Boring and rubbish. This movie was not scary at all.
