I saw it. Saw on a Tuesday at 12pm. The entire theater was empty, and the biggest jump scare was from when a guy came into the theater and needed to fix a seat and hearing heavy feet out of an otherwise dead room got me.
The biggest plot twist would be there was never such thing as a horror movie titled Imaginary and Charlie was actually just watching a blank cinema screen.
Because it was a Blumhouse movie I was expecting it to be one of their usual PG-13 bloodfests that is a concept of “What if this family friendly/childhood/playtime thing was a spooky killer/killing force?” But it’s more like baby’s first horror movie and is just a spooky atmosphere for an hour or so then a monster shows up. Out in the lobby there was a little kid being congratulated by his family for making through his first horror movie without being too scared.
You may have just cracked the code re who this film is for. Because if that kid comes away remembering the experience as a good one he’s going to keep watching Blumhouse films (and horror in general) out of nostalgia
I am glad my siblings who are way older than me introduced me to great horror films when I was like 5 or 6. This included Hellraiser, Friday The 13th, Nightmare One Elm Street, Alien, Scanners, The Thing, Dracula flics (and also those really awesome horror flicks from the 30s and 40s) Event Horizon, Evil Dead series, The Crow, zombie flicks and much more! I thought it was cool. Never got any nightmares or anything like that. Most of my nightmares were things like giant shapes (squares, circles..) growing bigger and getting closer to me or actual real nightmares like my dog dying. I still love horror movies although the Genre kind of sucks now. I did enjoy the Ash vs the Dead but that is just a continuation of an old IP. Dracula is probably my fav horror character, especially considering the real man is WAY more scarier than the movies and books.
I feel like Rebecca's character was butchered in the movie version. They tried to give her this whole empowered woman arc - which is great, I'm all for that. But then they completely ditched the weener poop scene from the book. It clearly wasn't in line with Stotch's original vision for the character and I just couldn't enjoy the film after this
i like how the therapist sees that the second voice wasnt from the little girl and then it connects to the similar cases from other kids that end up missing , and she ends up with " she might just be tired from moving houses , good luck" and never appears again
One thing I noticed in the promos for this film is that they always say "From the producer of Five nights at Freddy's and MEGAN" probably because that sounds a hell of a lot better than "From the director of Truth or Dare and Fantasy Island".
I saw fantasy island and boy it sucked. However with how many slam bangers blumhouse has, there has to be a few flops. With the way they make their movies, which is giving directors full freedom and small budgets (a few mill) there's room for blockbusters and movies that barely fill seats.
Never got the hype for M3gan. It followed the trend of robots gone rogue that has been done PLENTY of times. It got worse with the Wednesday (another generic piece of media) vs. M3gan videos.
i saw imaginary with my friends- it was so bad that the group of 12 yr olds in front of us kept saying "iS THAT FREDDY FAZBAR" every time that dumb bear appeared on screen
Didn’t they also make the fnaf movie, because it was also super bad. Edit: Another thing, the cupcake has more kills in the movie than anything else, the movie lost any aspect of horror when they made a fort and lastly, the plot just was boring.
I really wish horror movie YT promos would have a rating warning or something first, because that genre freaks me out and I do not ask to have that shit pop up on my phone apropos of nothing.
He said i bet most of you have never heard of this movie in our life. Homie, that is literally the ONLY ad i get on youtube everytime i try to watch something.
forgot to mention that there's these random "jumpscares" throughout the movie where one character is sneaking up on another, or suddenly startles another character, but they're not effective at all. the character getting startled completely overreacts to the jumpscare too, it's absolutely awful
So if the bear was never actually visible to the therapist because it was imaginary, why would she ask if the little girl had been practicing ventriloquism?
Okay yeah that's one question right but like didn't we *just* establish that the bear was real by jumpscaring the random dude? Or are we meant to believe he was *actually* tripping on mom's allergy meds???
@@kitsunekage12 real talk I’m a recovering Benadryl addict. I know it’s stupid and crazy. If you want to “robo trip” you’d have to take at least 15 Benadryl to feel any sort of those effects. So although I haven’t seen this movie, unless this guy is an addict or trying to fucking kill himself idk why they thought would be the idea. When a horror movie actually based around deliriant drugs could’ve actually been cool imo
i’m in seattle for work and you nailed it when you said “people see this movie to kill time” because that’s literally the only reason i saw it because i was so bored and needed to get out of the hotel
And The Exorcist is just about a mother who is trying to save her possessed daughter, look I'm not saying Imaginary isn't not good but when you boil something down to the bare bones of its plot of course it's going sound lame. Critiqueing the baseline plot of something is such an arbitrary and ineffective means of delivering criticism since you don't need a particularly complex and deep plot to make a good movie, of course, there can be exceptions.
I saw the trailer for IF in the theaters while waiting for another movie ,and was so confused for the next two mins. I can’t believe the stuff that’s being green lit today 😭
Charlie, I saw a post today, and Winnie The Pooh: Blood and Honey creators want to make a Peter Pan slasher movie and apparently one about Bambie and Pinnochio. All in the same vein of 'your childhood movie but filled with gore'. AND HE WANTS TO MAKE IT A CINEMATIC UNIVERSE.
I went to see it with my wife because she sent me an imbd link to a movie called 'IF' and I was like "oh that's looks pretty good" and I got to the theatre and she booked the tickets online so I didn't really see any pictures while in the entrance... got into the screen and sat down, watched the commercials and realised as soon as I saw blumhouse that it wasn't the movie I thought it was. the movie is literally the same concept as Poltergeist frame for frame. family moves into new house, young daughter starts experiencing paranormal shit and gets sucked into another ghostly dimension and they have to go in to save her.
Me and my buddy went to go and see this movie last week. We were well aware of the fact that this movie was going to suck. What we weren’t aware of was how BORING of an experience it would be. We love bad movies, it’s one of the many things we bond over. But this? It wasn’t just bad, it was so incredibly life draining and boring. In no way was this movie a “fun” experience like most other bad movies we’ve seen are. NOTHING made this absolute time and money waste worth it. Happy to see you making a video about this, Charles!!
I just woke up and I put this video on to not doze off again, I half slept with ur video in the background and I actually started half dreaming all the things you were talking about. Id say my dream was better than the movie
i would love a full script of the dream and then replace every theater playing "imaginary" with whatever the hell your dream was BCS im sure itd getter reviews then this bullshit
“Imaginary” had one cool gag to advertise the film: they had a picture of the scary teddy bear. Then, they tell you to stare at it for a long time. Then, the bear disappears and apparently, if you look for a long period without taking a break, you can still see an imprint of the teddy bear in color right after it disappears
I mean, that's just what happens when looking at a certain configuration of light for long enough and then staring at a blank surface. It's how our eyes work.
"Mom, can we go see the Five Nights at Freddy's movie?" "No honey. We have the Five Nights at Freddy's movie at home." *The Five Nights at Freddy's movie at home:*
I loved how the therapist gives the mother a phone number to her colleague and says something like 'i cant help you but this guy can you should call him' and that shit just never gets mentioned again lmao
I went with a group of friends to see it. The room was completely empty. We laughed more often than we felt even slightly spooked. The walk to the McDonald’s was scarier than the movie
Because it can appear to people if it wants. The creature itself isn't imaginary, it only usually appears to the little girl because it feeds on her imagination energy and has no reason to appear to others.
I saw this the day it came out in theaters and the script actually felt like it was written 1 line at a time but whoever was writing could only see the line before the one they were writing. Also Charlie isn’t joking about the monster designs they all looked like Halloween costumes. 10/10 best comedy of the century
When Charlie first mentioned that The Stepmom lost all memory of her childhood, I immediately knew what the twist was. And I didn’t even watch the movie!!!!!
The funny thing when I first heard about this movie I was blown away because I had a imaginary friend named Chauncey when I was a kid. I couldn’t believe the odds. It wasn’t a evil teddy bear but I can’t even remember anything about it.
@@Elegantly_Bored no,lol. Just the name was such weird name that everyone thought was hilarious for a 3 year old kid to imagine and never could figure out why or where the name could have come from. I don’t remember anything else about Chauncey. It was just a funny story I would tell people about my whole life when talking about imaginary friends would come up.
@@Elegantly_Bored I know right, when I first seen the ad I was so shocked of the odds of name being the same. Very curious of origin of story from whoever wrote the character and got the name Chauncey from. Would be even creepier if they really had the same thing as kid irl.
@@zerobalanceadventures1778 Chauncey is such a random/unusual name, too. Especially for a little kid to come up with. Do you remember what your friend looked like/resembled?
Me and friends first saw the trailer for imaginary when we went to see the FNAF movie and at that bear in the hallway seen in the trailer an old man sitting in the row behind us said very clearly and boredly “Dude just kick it.” i feel like that sums up this movie
Punt the demon like a damn football lol. Also, if its "true form" is also a bear, just use classic Black Bear intimidation tactics: scream at it, make yourself bigger, yadda yadda.
You’re telling me they made a horror movie about imaginary friends where the main characters are sisters and the plot twist wasn’t one of them being imaginary?? That’s low-budget horror writing 101!
*When I was younger* I had this idea for a horror story involving an “Imaginary friend” once.. it was about a kid and his loveable, whimsical childhood best friend that nobody could see.. but the kid is actually an undiagnosed psychopath and corrupts his imaginary, childhood bestie to be the accomplice to his murders.. years later a detective with unresolved childhood issues takes *HIS OWN* childhood “imaginary” friend to hunt down the killer.. guys i need crowd funding or nepotistic connections or I’m screwed and won’t make it in Hollywood - pls help.
I saw this trailer in a packed movie theater with my family (was there to see Godzilla Minus One, a much better movie) and a decent chunk of the audience audibly laughed when the bear slid foreword and did the "jumpscare." Even my mom who hates horror movies looked at me and started cracking up. Guys, write that screenplay. Anyone can make a movie now, I guess.
I cracked up when they put the Blumhouse founder on an episode of Shark Tank and he touted how much money Paranormal Activity made, which we all know, and had pretty much nothing else to say cause they put out nothing but extreme mid. Also: he brags about how their goal is basically to make a profit with as low a budget as possible. Which is evident if you've watched any of them..
You forgot to mention when we saw the dad and the boy again, Jessica calls the dad freaking out saying she can’t do this and he’s like “you want me to come back” but basically she just goes naw I got this. The only other time the random guy is seen again is when the older daughter is frantically searching for her sister in the street when she peers up into his window and he decides to close his blinds on her 😂
12:52 I thought he was gonna say the daughter was an imaginary friend and my mind was about to be so blown at that twist that it would've made me go see it lol
@stmsinHow? Asking for a friend. His wife took the kids but made a deal that if he can get over one million youtube likes she'll think about shared custody
Actually cool af that Charlie doesn’t take sponsorships often and when he does he actually gets involved. One of the only genuine large creators on TH-cam. ❤
The other day my friend practically DRAGGED me to the theather to watch this, I must admit, it's not the worst thing that I have ever seen, but it could have been better. It completely fails at being scary, the jumpscares are ALL predictable, but I kinda liked the core concept of imaginary friends' nature being either benign or malevolent depending on children's life experiences and I wish the lore and the worldbuilding could have been explored better
Would have been way better if the mom had imagination powers and she turned out to be the one who created the bear when she was a kid and the ptsd would explain why she didn’t remember
First 2023 being the goofiest year for gaming perhaps this will be the goofiest year for films “the hits where hitting but the shits where shitting”-Charlie
FNAF 4 had a much cooler concept of having plush toys turning into scary nightmare animals before it was cool, this movie, judging by the trailers heavily focused on using the sudden appearance, loud noises and flashing lights to generate jumpscares, but FNAF did much less with it as it gets too repetitive, plus it was made for the fans of the franchise, Imaginary took that concept and overused the trend of the sudden appearance of the monster, loud noises and flashing lights whenever a chase and a kill occurs, if anything the film should've use the shadows whenever the teddy forms into the monster to generate actual suspense for much longer instead of just 5 seconds of silence and then a jumpscare, kill or a chase scene happens
@@eb64nessHalloween (2018), Split, The Invisible Man, Get Out, The Black Phone, there’s far better movies they’ve produced than Five Nights at Freddy’s.
My friends and I went fried and it was such a fever dream. Also everyone in the movie theater wouldn’t stop laughing at the bear. So honestly 8/10 for the good time!
This review just made me realize something I didn't notice before; If the bear was in Jessica's imagination, then how did the neighbor kid see the bear chasing him when she wasn't even home-
I pay people on fiverr to animate moistcritikal and Drew Gooden dating, being in love, and having sex. I do this everyday and have thousands of files of it on my PC.
I have a confession to make. I was interested in seeing this movie. The first trailer made me think of Skinamarink and after that the second trailer did nothing to tick me off, so it seemed interesting to me. I guess I was wrong.
Feel how you want to feel big dog. Be true to yourself. If you want a good movie to watch watch "The Menu." It's a good movie and it's all about being true to yourself.
Studios: -Near Infinite Money -See Success of High Budget Movies with good Direction -Makes movies with los budget and bad crunch and they come out bad -It’s not that complicated
@@adrensamoth4337 That's probably the most interesting part of the movie lol. It's also vaguely accurate if that was Benedryl (Diphenhydramine) but you'd have to take a lot for an effect like that. It's also normally very unpleasant and confusing. Deliriants are really degenerate but kind of neat a movie made some use of them.
Isn’t this just a much worse version of the Conjuring? From the demon attacking both the parent and child, having to go into another world, parent not remembering childhood, etc

Same. Shit looks dumb af but Im still gonna see it.
Same.
Really? For some reason, I haven't gotten any ads for it. Unless I've been missing them, but I don't know.
I loved how the therapist gives the mother a phone number to her colleague and says something like 'i cant help you but this guy can you should call him' and that shit just never gets mentioned again lmao
I went with a group of friends to see it. The room was completely empty. We laughed more often than we felt even slightly spooked. The walk to the McDonald’s was scarier than the movie
So if the Teddy Bear was in Jessica's imagination then why did the teenager dude run out of the house all scared after the Teddy Bear jumpscare LMAO
Easy, because they didn't proofread their script.
That’s what I was wondering too
Because it can appear to people if it wants. The creature itself isn't imaginary, it only usually appears to the little girl because it feeds on her imagination energy and has no reason to appear to others.
@@kennyaustin429 Except it appearing to the boy completely fits the logic of the story. It isn't contradictory.
@@connoc5078 did you even understand what the comment about? Read it again mf liking his own comment
Like they saw the bear from toy story 3 and went yeah, horror movie
That bear was arguably scarier than whatever this was
@@NanchDressing I haven't seen this and I don't doubt it, that bear had some issues
Latso was actually scary dude ran the toy Holocaust
@@Saintphish 💀
I saw this the day it came out in theaters and the script actually felt like it was written 1 line at a time but whoever was writing could only see the line before the one they were writing. Also Charlie isn’t joking about the monster designs they all looked like Halloween costumes. 10/10 best comedy of the century
When Charlie first mentioned that The Stepmom lost all memory of her childhood, I immediately knew what the twist was. And I didn’t even watch the movie!!!!!
“he just tips his hat and falls into the backrooms”
this’ll be the plot of the next blumhouse film
I Bet this is why Ryan Reynold's film about Imaginary Friends was called IF.
The funny thing when I first heard about this movie I was blown away because I had a imaginary friend named Chauncey when I was a kid. I couldn’t believe the odds. It wasn’t a evil teddy bear but I can’t even remember anything about it.
Did he make you slam your hand into a nail?
@@Elegantly_Bored no,lol. Just the name was such weird name that everyone thought was hilarious for a 3 year old kid to imagine and never could figure out why or where the name could have come from. I don’t remember anything else about Chauncey. It was just a funny story I would tell people about my whole life when talking about imaginary friends would come up.
@@zerobalanceadventures1778 That’s funny but a bit creepy, lol.
@@Elegantly_Bored I know right, when I first seen the ad I was so shocked of the odds of name being the same. Very curious of origin of story from whoever wrote the character and got the name Chauncey from. Would be even creepier if they really had the same thing as kid irl.
@@zerobalanceadventures1778 Chauncey is such a random/unusual name, too. Especially for a little kid to come up with. Do you remember what your friend looked like/resembled?
Me and friends first saw the trailer for imaginary when we went to see the FNAF movie and at that bear in the hallway seen in the trailer an old man sitting in the row behind us said very clearly and boredly “Dude just kick it.” i feel like that sums up this movie
Lmfao
Yea just kick the 10 foot tall demon bear that appears later
Punt the demon like a damn football lol. Also, if its "true form" is also a bear, just use classic Black Bear intimidation tactics: scream at it, make yourself bigger, yadda yadda.
@@LordCrate-du8zm I think it’s more of a polar bear situation. If it’s black, fight back. If it’s brown, lay down. If it’s white, goodnight.
@@soglod4572 Nah polar bears aren't brown.
Man I started zoning out while you were explaining the plot lol
🤣🤣🤣😭
I heard of it because of youtube throwing all the ads at me when my ad blocker wasn't on.
It's sad because it was made by the same producer that made the FNAF, Megan, and The Black Phone, which those three are my top 10 movies
The black phone was a good movie!! A great thriller
You’re telling me they made a horror movie about imaginary friends where the main characters are sisters and the plot twist wasn’t one of them being imaginary?? That’s low-budget horror writing 101!
FR
*When I was younger* I had this idea for a horror story involving an “Imaginary friend” once.. it was about a kid and his loveable, whimsical childhood best friend that nobody could see.. but the kid is actually an undiagnosed psychopath and corrupts his imaginary, childhood bestie to be the accomplice to his murders.. years later a detective with unresolved childhood issues takes *HIS OWN* childhood “imaginary” friend to hunt down the killer.. guys i need crowd funding or nepotistic connections or I’m screwed and won’t make it in Hollywood - pls help.
This is actually a pretty cool concept
That sounds awful.
@BurnTheNuance - Well we won’t know till you send me your money will we?!
that’s just the laughing jack creepypasta.
Id watch it

I saw this trailer in a packed movie theater with my family (was there to see Godzilla Minus One, a much better movie) and a decent chunk of the audience audibly laughed when the bear slid foreword and did the "jumpscare." Even my mom who hates horror movies looked at me and started cracking up.
Guys, write that screenplay. Anyone can make a movie now, I guess.

The whiplash of seeing one of the worst trailers to one of the best movies of last year must have been jarring to say the least.
Same exact thing happened to me, although I was with my dad, not my mom.
1:17 The BEAR minimum, you say?
I'm pretty sure this was a storyline on supernatural....like for real. Imaginary friends are real, someone's killing the good ones....
NO I THINK YOURE RIGHT THAT SOUNDS SO FAMILIAR 😭😭 LMFAOOOO
Its very similar to Coraline and another movie which name I dont remember
I cracked up when they put the Blumhouse founder on an episode of Shark Tank and he touted how much money Paranormal Activity made, which we all know, and had pretty much nothing else to say cause they put out nothing but extreme mid. Also: he brags about how their goal is basically to make a profit with as low a budget as possible. Which is evident if you've watched any of them..

The Poop That Took a Pee
-Coming to theaters 2025
Produced by Sony.
funded by the chinese state department of media and culture
From the creators of "Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel"
Critics are calling this film a “interesting take on such a simple process” and “astounding art”
The poop that took a pee is a cinematographic masterpiece
You forgot to mention when we saw the dad and the boy again, Jessica calls the dad freaking out saying she can’t do this and he’s like “you want me to come back” but basically she just goes naw I got this. The only other time the random guy is seen again is when the older daughter is frantically searching for her sister in the street when she peers up into his window and he decides to close his blinds on her 😂
Not to mention after he pees on his hands he wipes them directly onto the family’s towels and then folds them and puts them back with pee on them
Why would the therapist ask about ventriloquism if the bear wasn’t even real
Right? And what did the dude get startled by if it wasn't real?
because she heard a voice
also how would she even see the bear talking if it was real
The rapist
Because she can see and hear the little girl talking in a different voice and as the bear without moving her mouth at all.
5:53 A way to find the milk without being suspicious
Ok
I’m so glad you’ve uploaded this, went to see it last week and it was agony.
A poop that took a pee was a great movie it deserved an Oscar and should probably get a sequel
12:52 I thought he was gonna say the daughter was an imaginary friend and my mind was about to be so blown at that twist that it would've made me go see it lol
sounds like smth foster’s home would cook up
Without spoiling if you're into that there's an old Korean movie called "A tale of two sisters" lots of twist, suspense horror.
Lol

Penguinz0= 🤢🤢🤮🤮
The other day my friend practically DRAGGED me to the theather to watch this, I must admit, it's not the worst thing that I have ever seen, but it could have been better. It completely fails at being scary, the jumpscares are ALL predictable, but I kinda liked the core concept of imaginary friends' nature being either benign or malevolent depending on children's life experiences and I wish the lore and the worldbuilding could have been explored better
Would have been way better if the mom had imagination powers and she turned out to be the one who created the bear when she was a kid and the ptsd would explain why she didn’t remember
I wish it was possible for us to watch a movie with you doing live commentary over it. That would be epic, to say the least.
First 2023 being the goofiest year for gaming perhaps this will be the goofiest year for films “the hits where hitting but the shits where shitting”-Charlie

Idk I thought 2023 had some good games
FNAF 4 had a much cooler concept of having plush toys turning into scary nightmare animals before it was cool, this movie, judging by the trailers heavily focused on using the sudden appearance, loud noises and flashing lights to generate jumpscares, but FNAF did much less with it as it gets too repetitive, plus it was made for the fans of the franchise, Imaginary took that concept and overused the trend of the sudden appearance of the monster, loud noises and flashing lights whenever a chase and a kill occurs, if anything the film should've use the shadows whenever the teddy forms into the monster to generate actual suspense for much longer instead of just 5 seconds of silence and then a jumpscare, kill or a chase scene happens
the fnaf movie is the only good blumhouse film
@@eb64nessHalloween (2018), Split, The Invisible Man, Get Out, The Black Phone, there’s far better movies they’ve produced than Five Nights at Freddy’s.
@@SleepyMook fnaf goes in the same category as them
@SleppyMook halloween 2018 is not good at all
@stmsin you just said that because of those gacha videos that frustratingly make it looks like its for kids?
me and my boyfriend laughed so hard so mamy times watching this movie tonight. "there never was a bear" had us crying
I remember seeing the trailer only twice and I felt it’s “certainly a Blumhouse film.”
it feels like the fnaf movie was the only thing in recent times that Blumhouse put effort in because it actually had to be succesful due to the hype
Also, Scott was behind it
i feel like blumhouse is throwing together cheap budget movies to keep income coming in while funding the fnaf series
I mean, the titling of this film "Imaginary" makes sense; it truly correlates with the Imaginary storytelling within it.
0:50 bro missed his chance to call blumhouse "crackhouse"

10:43 Charlie dropped a 100 vbux emote
My friends and I went fried and it was such a
fever dream. Also everyone in the movie theater wouldn’t stop laughing at the bear. So honestly 8/10 for the good time!
This review just made me realize something I didn't notice before; If the bear was in Jessica's imagination, then how did the neighbor kid see the bear chasing him when she wasn't even home-
If they keep this up, they are going to have to change their name to BUMhouse Productions.
Yep

Good one
My favorite actor from the hunger games knows his movies
I have a confession to make.
I was interested in seeing this movie. The first trailer made me think of Skinamarink and after that the second trailer did nothing to tick me off, so it seemed interesting to me. I guess I was wrong.
If it makes you feel better I was interested too. I thought it was going to be a solid movie but looking at all the reviews...guess not.
Feel how you want to feel big dog. Be true to yourself. If you want a good movie to watch watch "The Menu." It's a good movie and it's all about being true to yourself.
I actually like the idea that the imagery friends and such not being innately evil and the villain was a corrupted version of it
Studios:
-Near Infinite Money
-See Success of High Budget Movies with good Direction
-Makes movies with los budget and bad crunch and they come out bad
-It’s not that complicated
Make twenty good $10 million movies instead of one mediocre $200 million movie.
If the bear was imaginary, then how did the guy see it during the 1st jump scare scene? 😂

@adrensamoth4337 Oh yeah, that's right. 💀
@@supasteve5882 Honestly that line was the best part of the movie
@@adrensamoth4337 That's probably the most interesting part of the movie lol. It's also vaguely accurate if that was Benedryl (Diphenhydramine) but you'd have to take a lot for an effect like that. It's also normally very unpleasant and confusing. Deliriants are really degenerate but kind of neat a movie made some use of them.
I assume the monstrous form is real while the cuddly teddy bear was the only one that the main character can see?
Technically the Dad and the original mom came back in the dream world near the end
Isn’t this just a much worse version of the Conjuring? From the demon attacking both the parent and child, having to go into another world, parent not remembering childhood, etc
I'm personally glad you and Erin are still seeing eachother. Sounds like you guys are on good terms, and that's always great to know
