The movie "Imaginary" received mixed reviews. Some praised its originality, creativity, and solid plot, while others criticized the main actress's wooden performance and the obvious use of strings for the teddy bear's movements. The story was seen as weak and disjointed, though the child's performance was highlighted positively.
The story is very weak, a mixture of elements ranging from fantasy, adventure and supernatural horror, without managing to connect them well, ending up shooting everywhere and hitting nothing. The only highlight is the child's performance.
In reading the reviews, I don’t think people are giving this enough credit. I don’t consider this to have been “horror”, but more “dark fantasy”.Keep in mind, people have different fears. Movies with “the devil” are not scary to persons who are not religious. Not all prop,e believe in extra terrestrials.This movie is more based in childhood imagination, and childhood fears.Be open minded and give this a chance.
Solid enough plot and I wanted to stay tuned until the end. It’s the perfect one watch possession horror.6.8/10
