IMAGINARY

Children's author Jessica (DeWanda Wise) moves back into her childhood home with her husband Max (Tom Payne) and his two daughters: Taylor (Taegen Burns) and Alice (Pyper Braun). Upon arriving Alice finds a bear named Chauncey, who soon becomes her best friend. However, Jessica soon suspects the bear is actually more dangerous to Alice than good. Another Blumhouse flop here and this was painful to sit through. The story crawls at a snails pace to unfold and the story (particularly by the third act) is rather out there. With a PG-13 rating, it's watered down for a bigger audience that never showed. The only credit I can give here is towards young Pyper Braun who put together an enjoyable performance for such a young actress at only 10-years-old. Outside of that, I cannot recommend this enough to avoid this snooze fest. Blumhouse better go back to the drawing board because the films they've been putting out as of late just are not working on so many levels. 4/10
