Press reviews…
Available for a few days in cinemas, Imaginary was coldly received. This is for example the case of Polygon which does not mince its words. “ It’s hard to know where to begin when describing how bad Imaginary is » declares the media at the start of its criticism. “ Chauncey’s arrival should also add some spookiness to Imaginary, but the film gets so distracted trying to piece together a story from a myriad of insignificant plot threads that it doesn’t have much time devoted to it. to the horror » criticizes Polygon. A disappointment also shared by The Daily Beast. “ On the trash pile of mediocre horror series about killer children’s toys must now be thrown out Imaginary, a lifeless hodgepodge of the most hackneyed clichés the genre has to offer »complains the media.« The film does not have much impact given the poor writing of the characters and the few things that distinguish the feature film from the hundreds of other horror films that come out each year » writes indieWire.
