Imaginary is a horror film about an imaginary friend gone wrong.
The film is written and directed by Jeff Wadlow. There are plenty of other films to look at by comparison to this film and then you'll probably start to grasp the direction the review is going. He directed The Curse of Bridge Hollow, Truth or Dare, and Never Back Down. That being said the direction has some flaws in small details that just didn't make sense.
The major flaws come with the writing and dialogue. The film isn't scary, or I should say the film would be scarier if all of the scary scenes weren't in the trailers. The writing credits go to Greg Erb and Jason Oremland the same writers for The Princess and the Frog but then you find out they also wrote Playmobil and Reindeer in Here.
DeWanda Wise plays the main character a stepmom to the main child actress. She walks through all the dialogue and hasn't really done much except being a side character in Jurassic World Dominion. She was boring and didn't act like the character written for her. She also didn't physically fit the role.
Pyper Braun plays the imagination-gifted child who is too old for her role. She would certainly have social issues if she had an imaginary friend at 8 years old instead of the typical 3-year-old. She has an angsty teenage sister who is supposed to be 15 but is played by Taegen Burns who is almost 18 at the time of writing this.
Those issues aren't the main ones though as the film just had laughably bad moments and failed to produce scares that weren't obvious or in the trailer. Don't waste your money, it's pretty bad. D+.
