TURNING A CHILDHOOD CHUM INTO A FRIGHTFUL FIEND
IMAGINARY DIRECTOR JEFF WADLOW ON MAKING A FRIENDLY FACE SCARY
OVER ITS TENURE, Blumhouse has terrified us with everything from invisible men to possessed dolls. A film about a sinister imaginary friend, therefore, seemed inevitable. Cue Imaginary, Jeff Wadlow’s new horror about Chauncey, a teddy bear-shaped menace, and Jessica (DeWanda Wise), its former owner, who discovers upon returning to her childhood home that her old companion now prefers causing pain to throwing picnics.
