So it looks like Chauncey is a conduit for evil spirits or demons, and the teddy bear is targeting Alice. The retro Chauncey The Bear commercial is a nice touch for the innocent kid’s toy with a sinister dark side approach they’re clearly going for. My only problem with the trailer is, it looks like Imaginary will rely on jump scares too much.
Blumhouse is usually reliable for decent and solid horror movies. A few surprises, because I never expected M3GAN to be as good as it was. Imaginary looks like a balanced horror flick, delivering the shocking irony of a seemingly harmless teddy bear orchestrating a diabolical scheme to corrupt a little girl.
Evil toys or evil doll horror movies can be tricky, because there’s always a chance the movie can wind up being too silly. Chucky usually takes a more comedic path with dark humor, and more often than not, Annabelle got it right on the more serious side.
DeWanda Wise’s Jessica is obviously hiding something about her childhood that ties into Chauncey. I have a feeling Imaginary will end with a cliffhanger to possibly set up a franchise, or things will end in a way where the door is open for a sequel. I just get that feeling every time I watch certain horror trailers, and there’s always the chance Imaginary could be a sleeper hit.
