Creepy Trailer for Blumhouse's Sinister Imaginary Friend Horror Film IMAGINARY
Blumhouse has released the first trailer, a “Friends Forever” promo video, and motion poster for its upcoming horror thriller, Imaginary. It introduces us to a creepy teddy bear named Chauncey.
The “Friends Forever” promo video features young children describing their imaginary friends. The second half of the video sees the kids explain how these imaginary friends can sometimes “get mad” or be “creepy.”
It’s explained that the movie “taps into the innocence of imaginary friends – and begs the question: Are they really figments of childhood imagination or is something more terrifying lying just beneath?”
In the film, “When Jessica (DeWanda Wise) moves back into her childhood home with her family, her youngest stepdaughter Alice (Pyper Braun) develops an eerie attachment to a stuffed bear named Chauncey she finds in the basement. Alice starts playing games with Chauncey that begin playful and become increasingly sinister. As Alice’s behavior becomes more and more concerning, Jessica intervenes only to realize Chauncey is much more than the stuffed toy bear she believed him to be.”
Imaginary is directed by Fantasy Island and Kick-Ass 2’s Jeff Wadlow, who also co-wrote the script with Greg Erb and Jason Oremland. Along with Wise and Braun, the movie stars Tom Payne, Taegen Burns, Veronica Falcon, and Betty Buckley.
Imaginary hits theaters on March 8, 2024, from Blumhouse and Lionsgate.
