Dead ass didn't know this movie came out or it was even by blumbhouse cause it looked like those horror shorts on KZread

The movie sounds like the equivalent of someone that knows nothing about cooking just throwing all their favorite ingredients into a pot and hoping for the best.

Something of an extra dimensional evil entity acting like shown an described here... targeting children, an being able to easily kill adults and/or drive them insane... an the top villain in a... Spider form??? Pennywise called, wants its thing back when this Other DISTANT distant cousin is done playing with it...

This film would have fit right in the late 2000s horror films. Horror has evolved. Blumhouse is moving backwards.

The only reason I’d watch this is cause it’s around the same time IF comes out

14:50 so this is budge Stephen Kings IT?

Someone in blumhouse needs to get fired

Really wanted this to be decent because I’m a sucker for the evil imaginary friend concept but man this one’s rough… Truly the only good ideas pick up in the 3rd of it before they can do anything interesting

I'll never not respect blumhouse for giving people a shot but *daaang* this one was just a straight dud.

This is just me, but I feel like every horror idea has been done and in various ways already. I also feel like its because of our exposure to multiple horror films, throughout the years, that we've become desensitized and no longer find scary movies necessarily 'scary' anymore.

Man, build a bear was trying way too hard to be taken seriously

“How can we better show that he’s a musician?” “Give him a fedora”

Unironically the imagination is lacking imagine this if the teddy bear drawing was literal but demonized due to negative emotions or something the teddy bear is clingy and obsessed with their creator because the teddy bear sees the girl as its mother and wants it love and approval due to it being abandoned it dislikes the girl but it wants her approval and love so the teddy bear starts killing those close to her until she has to confront the teddy bear either killing it with an imagination weapon or she forgives the teddy bear acceoting the teddy bear thus putting the demonize teddy bear to ease and it is erased 🤦🏾‍♂️ the potential is crazy couldve been like a sadako/babadook entity but it just came across generic

They saw the box office and success of Five Nights At Freddy’s and said let’s do that but without all the things that made that movie where people like fans would actually care

I love how the final clip, which is usually pretty favourable to the subject, was just total shade this time.

It may not have been all that great, but it was still enough to scare me and the person I saw it with.

I grew up in an abusive home, and I really love the idea of evil toys. Poppy's Playtime is really great, for example. I really wish movies about evil toys would dig deeper into child abuse, the power adults have over children, and not excuse things like mental illness or abuse with magical reasons. I was interested in this, and might still watch it, but yeah, a third act in an imaginary world is super meh. It's like "mankind doesn't need the help" of evil spirits, in a way. Especially looking at how well Midsommar explored mental illness and disturbing, real life human behavior, it's amazing how often horror misses this mark. Even Stephen King understands that real horror comes from real life possibilities.

Not sure if you have done these already but can you do a video about the helghast from Killzone and the aliens from the resistance franchise

It’s insane to think that this is the same company that made Get Out and Whiplash movies that won Oscar’s Think about that Oscar Awards films Now they are making crap like Exorcist Believer, Night Swim and Imaginary

The highlight was definitely the scene with the therapist, when the daughter turned around and Chauncey was speaking while her mouth wasn't moving was so chilling. Shame that the movie kinda sank after that.

Here is how i would fix it They should have just played Jessica as the kid, and made the father the protagonist. Have Jessica's mother die at the start of the movie. She begins playing with Chauncey, who wants her imagination, after being "betrayed" thousands of years ago. Jessica's father sees his daughter calming down and seemingly acting like a normal kid more. Gloria, an old lady at the time, who begins babysitting Jessica, starts seeing Jessica doing more and more unhealthy and disturbing things, tries to talk to her father. Him, not having known how to take care of a kid, as he was never taught how, ignores Jessica's disturbing actions, writing them off as her copping, and not wanting to confront her on her imaginary freind, as he feels like if he does, it will upset her, and he doesn't want to try and deal with his and his own grief. At this point, if Chauncey is real or not is still up to debate. Under the guidance of Chauncey(we still don't see him), Jessica tells the therapist that her father has been different after her mom died, and she misses her so much. Implying that her father was abusive. (An actual piece of horror for any parent that they are hurting their kid). The therapist tells dad about this, and he gets defensive, saying he has just been having trouble learning to raise her after his wife's death. Therapist suspects the dad is abusing Jessica, and is attributing her father actions of abuse, as a game played between her and her imaginary freind. The climaxe starts, with the therapist calling the cops trying to detain Jessica's dad. Jessica and Gloria are at their house, and Jessica finally opens the door, entering the never ever. Gloria calls 911 after Jessica dissipers. Dad with the cops go to the house. Gloria is asked to give all the information she can at the police station. The cops are killed by Chauncey, and dad escapes the cop car. Finding the door already open, goes to try and find Jessica. He finds his wife and Jessica painting in their yard, with His wife telling him that he must have had a nightmare and it will all be OK now. That her and Jessica are just painting. A bear is sitting next to Jessica(the first time we see the bear outside of a drawing by Jessica. Dad realizes something is wrong and tries to get Jessica to leave. Jessica begins to tell him that she hates him and screaming that he ruined everything! That her mom would still be alive if it wasn't for him. (We now learn that her mom died in a car crash, in which the dad was driving). Dad finally faces his grief, ready to save his daughter takes her and his daughter struggling, As he runs back into their basement. Chauncey catches them as they try to leave, having the dad go insane. Gloria and the cops arrive, seeing Jessica hurt from her own self inflicted injury, the cops killed by what looks a knife, and the cop door where dad was supposed to be. Later, we see dad in a psyc-ward, and Gloria takes custody of Jessica. Stating how she always wanted a child but was born infertile. Later we see Gloria and Jessica painting. We cut to dad in the psyc-ward screaming about how Jessica is going to be hurt and how he has to protect her. Cut back to seeing Jessica drawing Chauncey very well for her age, as Gloria makes her lunch in the kitchen.

I remember seeing the trailer for this and thinking, "this is so hilariously stupid, I can hardly believe it's being released." Is this one of those supposed to be bad movies like sharknado or something? If not, I might actually have to check it out. I enjoy the so-bad-it's-good flicks, but only if they aren't meant to be.
