To be honest though, watching Jahn's reviews just aren't as fun anymore. It just feels like, as the years go by, he's falling into the trap that so many critics do: where it seems nowadays he can't just enjoy a movie, and more or less hates watching movies now. He's hyper critical of everything. At least someone like Stuckmann has retained his sense of wonder when going to the movies. I guess this is what happens when something you once loved becomes your day job.
@@LuxBellator92 Stuckman has refused to review bad movies cause he is afraid if his movie turns out to be bad, Hollywood will give him some grace. He even refused to do constructive criticism and after coming out of the theatre, if Jeremy founds the movie bad, he won't hesitate in giving it a bad rating so I will trust Jeremy over Stuckmann all day, everyday.
@@UnboxingAlyss Still need to watch that,its like they was in the writers rom and said "we need a concept thats never been done befre" then a vice at the back of the room. I dont know perhaps a haunted swimming pool. :D
The mysterious door in the wall drawn with chalk reminds me of Coraline and the Twilight Zone episode “Little Girl Lost.” Also, the design of monster Chauncey reminds me of Grizzly Teddy from Demonic Toys when he becomes more monstrous.
I kinda liked it too, I just felt the stepmom actress drew me in and I found myself rooting for her quite a bit. Plus I thought her outfits were amazing and I just kept looking at the house thinking "wow this is a really nice house" 😂
I was expecting this movie to get bad reviews, and it seems a good portion of them are bad. But I expected it because it's by Jeff Wadlow. His films tend to get slammed by lots of people. But for some reason, I've enjoyed pretty much every movie I've seen from him (Fantasy Island, Truth or Dare, Cry_Wolf, Kick Ass 2). So I was looking forward to this regardless, and I still am! I feel like the only person in the world that actually enjoys his movies.
I feel like between Firestarter, Halloween Ends, Five Nights At Freddy’s & most recently Nigh Swim, a lot of these Blumhouse titles have sucked more frequently (I guess Exorcist too but I avoided that shit)
@@adamstrachn I mean don’t get me wrong, they’re capable of putting out good stuff (M3GAN & The Black Phone are good examples of that) but yeah high school me would’ve loved most of their movies, but 25 year old me not so much
@@aidanmchutchison567 They definitely put out some great flicks, but a lot of misses. Being in my 30s definitely changes my perception after seeing so many movies over the years. I'm still happy for the movies that aren't so great because kids today will get into it. There were plenty of crap movies I loved in the 90s and 2000s.
Blumhouse either makes the worst horror movies, or absolute bangers, no in between. More often than not they suck. They just kinda cornered the horror market
Bro tbh , I never trust reviews from people , imo I loved the movie , it was a good watch , this dude is just way to into what he does , if you just watch movies to enjoy your time , it’s not bad at all
The acting is alright, but the plot just is too simple. Not scary at all, plot moves way too fast. Literally in the ending the girl didn't wanna go home then quite literally 10 seconds later gets convinced to go home because he mom said "come on honey it's fun" and the daughter just instantly switched sides. The cliff hanger at the end was very predictable. The movie is overall so bad.
What do you mean? It was actually pretty good! The only thing is that they lacked the jumpscares, but the plot is actually not bad at all, it's pretty entertaining if I do say so myself. Check out my movie review 😊👍
This is such a spot on review of this movie. Do exactly what he said about when it comes to streaming, skip to the last act and judge it solely from that. Then still don't watch the beginning part lol
I might see it in theaters regardless. I haven’t seen a ton of horror films in theaters and mainly because I got personal stuff going on at home that I’ve reach near breaking point. Even if it’s bad I can vent because it’s bad or enjoy it because of how bad it is.
@@StandStrong_MovieReviews Sadly no I never got around to it. I ended up watching Kung Fu Panda 4 in theaters.

@@skyhunter2816 Most of their movies are around $5 million and under with some around $10 million. So when the movies make $30 million - $80 million (just random numbers for the example) in a single week they made their money back and a decent profit. Most movies need to make double their budget to turn a profit because of marketing, theater profit cuts and so on. That's why it's easy if the movie is $5 million and you make $40 million in a single weekend it's a win. They made $30 million in profit in 1 week. Where Marvel movies need to make at least $600 million to just break even.
I thought the old lady would've wanted to go back to reality to write a book about what she saw and get her redemption as a writer but she just went cucuuu, that was just hilarious af to watch 😂😂😂😂😂
I physically recoil at Jeff Wadlow's name because _Fantasy Island_ was one of the last things I saw in the cinemas before the pandemic hit the UK. It was around the time that rumblings of lockdowns and businesses temporarily closing began, and I remember saying to my partner, "NO! I _REFUSE_ to let this be the last thing I see [in cinemas] this year!". So... yeah. There's that association. Also, I keep thinking that he directed a _Saw_ film. And not one of the good ones, either. Yes, there are some.
Love all your videos, especially since you have the same taste in movies, and gaming, but I think it’s brilliant that you have a film ranking of, “Dogshit”, and, “Enjoy with beers” 😄
Damn, Jeremy, you’ve been on fire with the Dogshit ratings lately! I thought you had been a little too easy with that in recent years, but now this is the fourth you’ve given this year, and we just began March!
Just watched Cabrini . It was extremely well written, well casted and its message was extremely fitting not only in the early 1900s but also today. The film ended with the challenge, "what kind of world do you want to live in and what are you going to do to achieve it? " I strongly implore you to please get out and watch this film and give it a review. The world Needs this message.
Bro this is so random but I used to watch you like 10 years ago and you just recently appeared on my suggestions after all these years, it’s so heart warming to see you’re still at it and with the same fire theme before every review starts, keep it up old friend 🫡
Maybe I’ve gone insane but I weirdly liked this movie, this was one that I was keeping an eye on because while I thought the idea looked kinda cheesy there was also a part of me that had a strange curiosity about it, and I oddly found myself enjoying it I think the biggest plus of the movie is by far the little girl, she’s absolutely terrific here, she is so cute and her relationship with her family as well as her imaginary friend early on is so good, and when it starts to turn on its head and becomes more violent she totally sells those scenes too, I also liked seeing Betty Buckley again, I’ve always liked her from her movies with M Night Shaymalan and so it was cool to have her in here And while early on I was enjoying the movie from more of a guilty pleasure kind of standpoint weirdly enough once it got to the point with the girl trying to hurt herself it actually became legitimately investing and I stopped laughing at the movie and just started enjoying it normally, I also thought the evil version of the bear was cool and the last act had some really cool visuals I’d say my biggest complaints are for one the older daughter, she was so unlikeable, throughout the movie she was such an asshole to her stepmom for like no reason, I get that she’s upset about not being with her real mom anymore but at the same time it’s like what did your stepmom do to deserve this kind of apathy from you? The other is the ending, because at a point it literally looks like the movie is about to end but then out of nowhere something happens that leads into *ANOTHER* climax, I was like “Wait, what the hell? Where did this come from?” You know what it felt like? You know how some movies have alternate endings that they release on Blu Ray after they come out? This felt like they took the original ending and the alternate ending and created this fake out scene to bridge the 2 of them together, it was so weird and it felt like it didn’t fit together at all Look, maybe I’ve gone insane but I strangely found myself invested in this movie, I acknowledge it wasn’t the greatest and early on it definitely felt more like a guilty pleasure kind of experience but as it went on it kinda started working for me, the acting is very good, it had some decent scares and ultimately I ended up having a good time with it. 7/10
Same!!! 7/10 the movie was pretty good. The story is for sure there and would watch it again with somebody that hasn’t. Wouldn’t mind a continuation that’s maybe not PG 13 but I do like the movie.
This is why I still watch Jeremy's content. He's not afraid to give a movie deserved criticism. Not like certain someone who lost all integrity as a movie critic.
Nobody’s forcing you to watch Chris. He has been clear for a while that his channel is not for criticism anymore. I don’t really get why people are upset about it when it’s his channel.
@@echoecho57 Ah, the old and debunked "if you don't like it don't watch it" argument. He is a movie critic. He is officially labeled and certified as such in various places such as Rotten Tomato. He is refusing to critic movies he thinks he will have to "bash" on, which counts as a dereliction of duty. All this is because he is now in the movie circle and has to cater to his friends in Hollywood. All the critics who also worked in movie business didn't hesitate to call out films that deserved harsh criticism. Also, criticizing a movie isn't "bashing" as Chris puts it, by which he is putting other critics under the bus. I am not watching his videos anymore, but he does have an obligation as a critic to provide his audiences with genuine criticism of movies. That's why he gained his followings and its how he got into the movie business in the first place. If he wants to go the route of a movie director who never criticize movies fairly for what it is, he needs to put down his title as movie critic.
I'm definitely in the minority here... but I actually kinda liked Imaginary 😬 More specifically the second half, because that's where, in my opinion, it gets really creative and looks like they tried to make something good, both in the set design and some of the cinematography. The first half, however, is as generic as it gets filled with jumpscares and dream sequences. I mean the second half still has those things, but at least it goes in an interesting direction.
5:32 With those movies they swapped out the director of the first movie with a much better director. Annabelle: Creation got David F. Sandberg and Ouija: Origin of Evil got Mike Flanagan. With this, if it gets a sequel, I hope a better horror director steps in.
I remember watching this and thinking that the original twist was going to be that SHE was imaginary because she was originally a normal girl, but then she became an imaginary friend and the bear wanted her back. It's just a vibe I got, like when her father was in the hospital and didn't recognise her, then when she says she's his daughter he says "No, you disappeared," and there's a part where the husband says "You appeared in our lives right when we needed you the most, like an imaginary friend," plus the memory loss.
Took my 12 year old daughter because she likes movies like this. I felt like the movie was trying to be something it wasn’t or couldn’t be, for whatever reason. The “Dollar Store Tim Burton” part was more interesting, but I thought that’s where the movie could have become way more darker. She had fun, so that’s all that mattered to me🤷🏼♂️
🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:00 🎬 *Review of the movie "Imaginary" and its premise* - "Imaginary" is a horror movie set in a new house where the youngest girl in the family encounters an evil imaginary friend. - The film is described as a compilation of elements borrowed from various horror movies, earning it the label of "Dollar Store" horror. - Despite the anticipation for cheesy enjoyment, the movie falls short in delivering engaging content due to its boring narrative and inconsistent character interactions. 03:37 📽️ *Critique on dialogue and character inconsistency* - The dialogue in "Imaginary" is criticized for its lack of authenticity, making characters feel unrealistic and scripted. - Inconsistencies in character behaviors and interactions, particularly regarding continuity, detract from the immersion and believability of the story. - Instances of character actions and reactions, such as the older daughter's behavior towards her stepmom, are highlighted as unrealistic and poorly developed. 05:00 🤔 *Analysis of the film's progression and redeeming qualities* - Despite the overall disappointment, the last act of the movie stands out as the most engaging part, offering potential for a sequel. - The possibility of future installments improving upon the initial concept, akin to successful horror movie franchises like Annabelle and Ouija, is contemplated. - While the last act provides moments of enjoyment, the film's preceding sections are deemed tedious and uninteresting, resulting in a lackluster viewing experience.

@@grim_2000 Please re-read the first sentence of my comment.
@@twentywordsorlessYT
But my comment refers to _second_ sentence, mentioning titles that came out after FI.
Love all your videos, especially since you have the same taste in movies, and gaming, but I think it’s brilliant that you have a film ranking of, “Dogshit”, and, “Enjoy with beers” 😄
Jeremy saving us Time & Money !! You usually have to Pay for that kinda service !!!!!!
Glad Jeremy knows you so well.
I would love to see a review of Cabrini. Wondering if it's any good
Damn, Jeremy, you’ve been on fire with the Dogshit ratings lately! I thought you had been a little too easy with that in recent years, but now this is the fourth you’ve given this year, and we just began March!
I liked this video because you pulled a damn wand out of your sleave and obliviated yourself to prove how bad the movie was lol, love it jeremy.
Blumhouse and Jeff Waldow at it again…
I Saw IMAGINARY Last Month It Was Good And My Favorite Movie Is FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY'S Movie From Last Year
Just watched Cabrini . It was extremely well written, well casted and its message was extremely fitting not only in the early 1900s but also today. The film ended with the challenge, "what kind of world do you want to live in and what are you going to do to achieve it? "
I strongly implore you to please get out and watch this film and give it a review. The world Needs this message.
I'm going tomorrow.
Bro this is so random but I used to watch you like 10 years ago and you just recently appeared on my suggestions after all these years, it’s so heart warming to see you’re still at it and with the same fire theme before every review starts, keep it up old friend 🫡
So, it's the director of Truth or Dare and Fantasy Island, with the writers of Playmobil: The movie.
Studio executive: SoUnDs gOoD tO mE
I thought this was that Ryan Reynolds John Krasinski movie for a second lol
No, that's IF.
That's what i thought too.
Didn't know about the movie at all, but it made for a great scathing review 😂also your moment at 3:55 was so well said
Maybe I’ve gone insane but I weirdly liked this movie, this was one that I was keeping an eye on because while I thought the idea looked kinda cheesy there was also a part of me that had a strange curiosity about it, and I oddly found myself enjoying it
I think the biggest plus of the movie is by far the little girl, she’s absolutely terrific here, she is so cute and her relationship with her family as well as her imaginary friend early on is so good, and when it starts to turn on its head and becomes more violent she totally sells those scenes too, I also liked seeing Betty Buckley again, I’ve always liked her from her movies with M Night Shaymalan and so it was cool to have her in here
And while early on I was enjoying the movie from more of a guilty pleasure kind of standpoint weirdly enough once it got to the point with the girl trying to hurt herself it actually became legitimately investing and I stopped laughing at the movie and just started enjoying it normally, I also thought the evil version of the bear was cool and the last act had some really cool visuals
I’d say my biggest complaints are for one the older daughter, she was so unlikeable, throughout the movie she was such an asshole to her stepmom for like no reason, I get that she’s upset about not being with her real mom anymore but at the same time it’s like what did your stepmom do to deserve this kind of apathy from you? The other is the ending, because at a point it literally looks like the movie is about to end but then out of nowhere something happens that leads into *ANOTHER* climax, I was like “Wait, what the hell? Where did this come from?” You know what it felt like? You know how some movies have alternate endings that they release on Blu Ray after they come out? This felt like they took the original ending and the alternate ending and created this fake out scene to bridge the 2 of them together, it was so weird and it felt like it didn’t fit together at all
Look, maybe I’ve gone insane but I strangely found myself invested in this movie, I acknowledge it wasn’t the greatest and early on it definitely felt more like a guilty pleasure kind of experience but as it went on it kinda started working for me, the acting is very good, it had some decent scares and ultimately I ended up having a good time with it. 7/10
Same!!! 7/10 the movie was pretty good. The story is for sure there and would watch it again with somebody that hasn’t. Wouldn’t mind a continuation that’s maybe not PG 13 but I do like the movie.
Same here! Rare that I disagree so fully with Jeremy but I had a good time with t
his one!
The Alfred "Failed you" had me rolling!🤣😂
Thank you for actually translating that quote. The accent made it hard for me to make out what he was saying. 😂
@@TheFreshSoundsFloridano problem.🤣
The thumbnail is all like. WHAT *IS* THIS?
I can’t believe you watch this, but we never got a review of ‘No one will save you’. Was really keen on hearing your opinion about it.
I actually enjoyed it. 😊 It was a mix between original ideas and super reused ones. But still, it kept me interested. Surprised me too. 😊
Yeah you summed it perfectly. Me and my friend we were rolling our eyes sure of where it was leading to but the ending was damn good
Yeah it was pretty good 👍
you did the review with the intro. So you succeeded. Bravo.
Thank you for saving me $15.
Complete decimation. 👏👏 subbed
This is why I still watch Jeremy's content. He's not afraid to give a movie deserved criticism. Not like certain someone who lost all integrity as a movie critic.
Not I think it’s right but it’s clear he isn’t trying to burn bridges since he’s making a movie now
Nobody’s forcing you to watch Chris. He has been clear for a while that his channel is not for criticism anymore. I don’t really get why people are upset about it when it’s his channel.
@@echoecho57 Ah, the old and debunked "if you don't like it don't watch it" argument. He is a movie critic. He is officially labeled and certified as such in various places such as Rotten Tomato. He is refusing to critic movies he thinks he will have to "bash" on, which counts as a dereliction of duty. All this is because he is now in the movie circle and has to cater to his friends in Hollywood. All the critics who also worked in movie business didn't hesitate to call out films that deserved harsh criticism. Also, criticizing a movie isn't "bashing" as Chris puts it, by which he is putting other critics under the bus. I am not watching his videos anymore, but he does have an obligation as a critic to provide his audiences with genuine criticism of movies. That's why he gained his followings and its how he got into the movie business in the first place.
If he wants to go the route of a movie director who never criticize movies fairly for what it is, he needs to put down his title as movie critic.
I'm definitely in the minority here... but I actually kinda liked Imaginary 😬 More specifically the second half, because that's where, in my opinion, it gets really creative and looks like they tried to make something good, both in the set design and some of the cinematography. The first half, however, is as generic as it gets filled with jumpscares and dream sequences. I mean the second half still has those things, but at least it goes in an interesting direction.
NOW that's my level of scary movies. Not too much,creative, a plot twist, and put effort into making it make sense.
I have enjoyed watching other Blumhouse horror films such as Truth Or Dare and Fantasy Island.
i forgot this movie was a thing
First class Alfred impression 🏆
Sounds like I’m rewatching Dune 2 this weekend.
Stop over hyping the star wars wannabe
@@KadenHartley Star wars was inspired by this so called star wars wannabe lol
if you can find it, watch 'Perfect Days' instead!
@KadenHartley you got that backwards bruh. Star Wars is the dune wannabe
5:32 With those movies they swapped out the director of the first movie with a much better director. Annabelle: Creation got David F. Sandberg and Ouija: Origin of Evil got Mike Flanagan. With this, if it gets a sequel, I hope a better horror director steps in.
I remember watching this and thinking that the original twist was going to be that SHE was imaginary because she was originally a normal girl, but then she became an imaginary friend and the bear wanted her back.
It's just a vibe I got, like when her father was in the hospital and didn't recognise her, then when she says she's his daughter he says "No, you disappeared," and there's a part where the husband says "You appeared in our lives right when we needed you the most, like an imaginary friend," plus the memory loss.
I was wondering that too
Excellent Review Jeremy My favorite Entity movie The Possession
Good, now I feel justified for choosing to just rewatch Dune 2 again this weekend.
Took my 12 year old daughter because she likes movies like this. I felt like the movie was trying to be something it wasn’t or couldn’t be, for whatever reason. The “Dollar Store Tim Burton” part was more interesting, but I thought that’s where the movie could have become way more darker. She had fun, so that’s all that mattered to me🤷🏼♂️
Would love to see you review Cabrini next! From the same people that made Sound of Freedom.
Have you watched When Evil Lurks? Interested to see your review on that.
I love these reviews!
Please review the movie Cabrini from Angel Studios!
I got to see a pre screening and I LOVED IT😭

im glad some movie critics are still willing to be brutally honest cough cough chris stick man
I used to watch both of them.... but I tend to side with chris.... and disagree with Jeremy. They just have different opinions and perspectives. I enjoyed their movie😂
What do you think about doing a review for Cabrini?
Jahns has me clicking now that some...uh, "seasoned critics" have stopped actually reviewing films
