Taylor Posted March 6 Posted March 6 ^ Fair point, it looks like they acquired it before production. But Wadlow co-wrote the script so I'm sure it's not great. Quote
Krissykins Posted March 6 Posted March 6 Yeh, if a Blumhouse film is being released by any other studio, you know Universal passed. They have had a first look deal for 10 years now, which actually runs out this summer. 1 Quote
Boxofficerules Posted March 7 Posted March 7 Hard to believe this is out tonight, the buzz seems non existent. There are no reviews on rotten tomatoes and it's taking a slaughtering on Letterboxd. Quote
Bob Train Posted March 8 Posted March 8 So far 0/3 reviews are positive https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/imaginary/reviews?intcmp=rt-scorecard_tomatometer-reviews Quote
Krissykins Posted March 8 Posted March 8 It’s got a goofiness to it. And the dialogue is really heavy handed and obvious. But it actually has about 4-5 good scares in it, and a twist I didn’t see coming. Would be good gateway horror for youngsters. Much better than Night Swim. Quote

ThePhasmid Posted March 9 Posted March 9 The director's history with Blumhouse leaves much to be desired. I guess it's a low budget risk with medium size reward for him. Meanwhile, still waiting to see any updates for Leigh Whannell's Upgrade property. Quote
Asyulus Posted March 9 Posted March 9 There’s apparently a single f-bomb in the IMDB parents guide of Imaginary. Who gets to yell the f-bomb? Spoiler The little girl after she pricks her finger to a sharp nail? Or the bear? Quote

DAJK Posted March 9 Posted March 9 This and Night Swim were about the same quality-wise for me. Ugh. Quote

Dominic Draper Posted March 10 Posted March 10 (edited) This was a huge step up for Wadlow from his previous blumhouse films. I went in expecting a 0/10 and came away thinking it's a 3/10. It has a couple story beats and scenes that surprised me in a good way. It's still bad, and forgettable. But i came away thinking that was a generic film with an okay concept that had some potential if a talented director had made it instead of thinking I have lost my faith in humanity that film was so bad like his last 2.
