Another horror film from Blumhouse with Jeff Wadlow directing an original horror tapping into the innocence of imaginary friends.
The story follows figments of childhood imagination. Or is something terrifying lying just beneath?
A little bit of fun?
When Jessica, played by DeWanda Wise, moves back into her childhood home with her family, her youngest stepdaughter Alice, played by Pyper Braun, develops an eerie attachment to a stuffed bear named Chauncey. She found the stuffed animal in the basement.
“Not all imaginary friends are friendly… at least that’s what the characters at the heart of Imaginary are about to find out,” shares Wadlow. “I love making films that play with the audience’s perception of what is real and what is not, so a horror movie that explores the frightening possibilities of imaginary friends was the perfect sandbox for me to play in.
“I think the movie we made is filled with unexpected twists, big scares, and, above all else, a ton of thrilling fun. DeWanda, Pyper, and Taegen, the characters at the center of our story, are not only believable as a blended family but a blast to watch as the tale unfolds.

Alice plays games with Chauncey that begin playfully and become increasingly sinister. Jessica intervenes because Alice’s behavior becomes increasingly concerning. She realizes Chauncey is much more than the stuffed toy bear she believed him to be.
The supporting cast includes Tom Payne, Taegan Burns, Pyper Braun, Veronica Falcon, and Betty Buckley.
“I think audiences are going to love watching them go toe to toe with Chauncey, our evil little bear. “I promise you’ll never look at a Teddy the same way again,” says Wadlow.
After a group of would-be criminals kidnap the 12-year-old ballerina daughter of an influential underworld figure, all they have to do is collect a $50 million ransom. And watch the girl overnight in an isolated mansion.
The captors dwindle, one by one, and they discover, to their mounting horror, that they’re locked inside with no ordinary little girl.
Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett directed the horror film. The cast includes Melissa Barrera, Dan Stevens, Alisha Weir, Kathryn Newton, William Catlett, Kevin Durand, Angus Cloud and Giancarlo Esposito.
The First Omen is an American horror film directed by Arkasha Stevenson and written by Stevenson, Keith Thomas, and Tim Smith. It is based on Ben Jacoby’s story.

The cast includes Bill Nighy, Ralph Ineson and Sonia Braga.
You may consider Lisa Frankenstein the funniest, goriest undead romance seen all year.
