Overview
When Jessica moves back into her childhood home with her family, her youngest stepdaughter Alice 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.

Roger Ebert
“Imaginary” is utterly forgettable, bland, and directionless, ironically so, as for a film that lauds the power of imagination, it shockingly neglects the very element of its own ethos.

The Guardian
Imaginary, teased by an audio-first, cinema-only trailer far smarter than the movie itself, is a shameless grab bag of stolen parts clumsily stitched together with such carelessness, it’s a miracle it’s even getting a theatrical release.

Variety
Instead of jump scares, we get world-building hoops to jump through.

Heaven of Horror
While I didn’t expect to enjoy this particular horror movie much, I ended up really liking it.

Collider
Imaginary is a horror disaster that not even imaginary characters should go see.

Flickering Myth
Imaginary comes across like a halfway decent story that another writer got a hold of and retooled into something much more stupid and reliant on typical modern mainstream horror clichés.

It's A Stampede!
Imaginary is a film which I so desperately want to tell you is good, but in truth it is only so-so.

Rotten Tomatoes
Aesthetically it's good, with decent sound design and an atmosphere that mirrors some old-school horror movies, but the style over substance approach is disappointing.
