Film Review – Imaginary (2024)

Director Jeff Wadlow doesn’t possess the most inspired filmography. In fact, most of his endeavors have been dismal, remaining committed to the horror genre in duds like “Truth or Dare” and “Fantasy Island.” Wadlow returns to fright cinema, kinda, with “Imaginary,” also claiming a co-writing credit on the feature, which is more of a fantasy about psychological trauma than a true nail-biter. The picture also sustains the helmer’s low batting average, with Wadlow trying to mount some ambitious visuals with a limited budget, and his directorial-fu just isn’t powerful enough. “Imaginary” isn’t scary and it doesn’t hold viewer attention, though star DeWanda Wise puts in some effort to sell the ridiculousness of it all with her authoritative performance. However, such dedication isn’t strong enough to get this snoozy movie off the ground, with Wadlow providing feeble offerings of suspense along the way. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
