Review: Imaginary (2024)

This time I’m reviewing a film about a demonic teddy bear…
When Jessica moves back into her childhood home with her
family, her youngest stepdaughter, Alice, finds a stuffed bear named Chauncey.
As Alice's behavior becomes more and more concerning, Jessica intervenes only
to realize that Chauncey is much more than the stuffed toy bear she believed
him to be.
Ok, people, I had been waiting to see this film after I saw
the trailer two years ago.So I was so happy when I found it available on Tubi
TV. Of course, then I watched this…
Ok, let’s start the
pain. Both the trailer and the poster make this look like the bear itself was
going to be the big a big deal in the film, like Teddy Anabelle. Nope. The
fucking bear is barely in it. Things happen but the bamn bear just sits there
looking cute and cuddly. The fucking thing has a music box in it that plays a
sickly sweet tune. Come on people. I want a demonic scare bear nut fluffy the
boring demon bear. The thing doesn’t even
move or make faces. At the end they have a horrible, and not in the good way, monster
bear at a distance down a hall, but that is it. SHIT!!!
Then the little girl in this film is a HORRIBLE actress.
When she cries in the film you immediately cringe and shout out fake. Also the
girl acts like she is trying to remember lines…Oh, God, save me.
Worse yet this film was made during the WOKE epidemic and it
royally suffers from it. You got a white, English, dad with two white daughters
and a black stepmother. The black step mother gets most of the scenes. Oh, and
the demon resurrects the girls dead mother and I swear they purposely hired a
woman who looks exactly like the evil stepmother from Snow White. This woman
was scary.
And on top of all this most of this film is boring and
annoying. It is only during the last twenty minutes that this film actually get
interesting, when the little girl gets stole by the demon and stepmother and
sister has to go into the teddy bear’s world to save the annoying little girl.
This is were we get freaky stuff and Fluffy the CGI monster bear. This part was
somewhat entertaining, but reminded me of something from a Freddy Krueger
movie…so ALREDDY SEEN THAT!!! So, not placidated…YOU LOSE!!!
To put it simply, this film was a lot of promise and no delivery.
So you know my answer to if I recommend this film??? Fuck no!!!
Keep on Creepin’ , Horror Bob’s Blog.
