Blumhouse horror Imaginary gets a first trailer and poster

November 16, 2023 by Amie Cranswick

Blumhouse has released a trailer for Imaginary, the upcoming horror from writer-director Jeff Wadlow (Truth or Dare, Fantasy Island).

The film stars DeWanda Wise as Jessica, who returns to her childhood home with her family, where her stepdaughter discovers a stuffed bear in the basement, but when the games she plays with him start to take a sinister turn Jessica begins to suspect that the toy is more than just a toy. Watch the trailer below…

From Blumhouse, the genre-defining masterminds behind FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY’S and M3GAN, comes an original horror that 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?

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.

Featuring in the cast of Imaginary are DeWanda Wise, Tom Payne, Taegan Burns, Pyper Braun, Veronica Falcon, and Betty Buckley.

Imaginary arrives in cinemas on March 8th.
