What is Imaginary about?
“When Jessica (DeWanda Wise) moves back into her childhood home with her family, her youngest stepdaughter Alice (Pyper Braun) develops an eerie attachment to a stuffed bear named Chauncey she finds in the basement,” reads the movie’s synopsis. “Alice starts playing games with Chauncey that begin playful and become increasingly sinister. As Alice’s behavior becomes more and more concerning, Jessica intervenes only to realize Chauncey is much more than the stuffed toy bear she believed him to be.”
Imaginary was written and directed by Jeff Wadlow and written by Greg Erb and Jason Oremland. It was produced by Jason Blum and Jeff Wadlow, p.g.a., and Tower of Babble.
The horror movie stars DeWanda Wise (Someone Great) as Jessica and Pyper Braun (Country Comfort) as Alice. The rest of the cast includes Tom Payne (MindGamers), Taegen Burns (The Gateway), Veronica Falcón (A Million Miles Away), and Betty Buckley (Split).
