**Scavenger hunt list:** ✓ A *Child's Play* ripoff ✓ A parody of *Insidious* ✓ An angry Ted ✓ A bowl of tired horror tropes ✓ Jumpscares that couldn't even scare a kid ✓ Cheesy acting and dialogue ✓ A decent **first** twist ✓ Mildly interesting stepmother/stepdaughter storyline ✓ A well-placed *The Walking Dead* allusion for Tom Payne ✓ A ridiculous, laughable and overlong third act that doesn't work because it takes itself too seriously ✓ Lives up to the Blumhouse name nowadays

I never expected this to be good but it is a marvel the levels of bad this movie reaches. Jeff Wadlow needs to be stopped.

NOTE: This is an updated review from when I first initially saw the movie back in March. I updated my review briefly based on rewatching the trailers and some reviews I watched on YouTube based on my quick thoughts that I written down when I saw the movie back in March. Movie wasn’t bad.. wasn’t great. I will definitely have to give it another rewatch when, or if it hits streaming. Movie came out back in March and it’s now August and it’s only available for rent or to own it. When I saw Imaginary, our movie theater was packed for a Saturday night showing. The majority of it were teens but it didn’t affect my showing at all. The movie itself: Storyline was decent, some things I wasn’t expecting, but definitely could’ve been better. The little girls acting was awesome. The trailer although, it definitely showed more of the bigger jump scares and some minor things. Showed very little of what happened during the third act. With the jump scares, it’s your typical jump scares during horror movies. It wasn’t overly done, but there wasn’t no impactful jump scare for me. Like I said, I’ll try to give a better and final review when/if it hits streaming. I saw the movie back in March and it was average. I wanted to write an initial review from my thoughts after I saw the movie. I wanted to clean up some of my thoughts from earlier.

Deffo not on my watch again list ☹
