  • 2 months ago
SUCOPRESS/Raquel Laguna. From Blumhouse, comes an original horror film that taps into the innocence of imaginary friends – and begs the question: Are they really figments of childhood imagination or is something more terrifying lying just beneath? Director Jeff Wadlow and producer Jason Blum talk in this interview about their movie IMAGINARY. They also talk about the biggest challenge making this film and about having imaginary friends in their childhood. In IMAGINARY, when Jessica (DeWanda Wise) moves back into her childhood home with her family, her youngest stepdaughter Alice (Pyper Braun) develops an eerie attachment to a stuffed bear named Chauncey she finds in the basement. Alice starts playing games with Chauncey that begin playful, and become increasingly sinister. As Alice’s behavior becomes more and more concerning, Jessica intervenes only to realize Chauncey is much more than the stuffed toy bear she believed him to be.
