From Blumhouse (FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY’S and M3GAN) comes an original horror film that taps into the innocence of imaginary friends – and begs the question: Are they really figments of childhood imagination or is something more terrifying lying just beneath?

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. 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.

Check out the new trailer and featurette below.

Directed by Jeff Wadlow, the film stars DeWanda Wise, Tom Payne, Taegen Burns, Pyper Braun, Veronica Falcon, and Betty Buckley.

Imaginary hits cinemas on 8th March 2024.

00:00 How does it feel being back?
00:02 Good. I had such good memories here.
00:05 Maybe my happy place can be our happy place?
00:08 Who left you all alone down here?
00:11 I'm playing a new game with Chauncey.
00:16 The scavenger hunt list? That's fun.
00:18 Chauncey says you're not allowed to play with us.
00:21 Oh.
00:22 Because you left him.
00:23 I need something happy.
00:25 Something happy?
00:27 Ugh. I thought bugs freaked you out.
00:30 If I can finish my list, Chauncey will take me on a trip to the place he's from.
00:34 Something that hurts.
00:42 Alice!
00:43 You've been spending time with a new friend?
00:54 Don't ignore me with me.
00:57 He asked you to do something that hurt you.
01:01 That was part of the game.
01:03 Does that seem like a game a good friend would want to play?
01:07 Maybe we shouldn't play together anymore, Chauncey.
01:10 Maybe we shouldn't be friends.
01:12 No, no, no, no, no.
01:14 Alice?
01:19 Alice!
01:20 Alice?
01:21 Alice!
01:22 Alice!
01:23 Alice!
01:24 She's lost, but we're gonna find her.
01:29 Every culture has entities that tether to the young.
01:34 We call them imaginary friends.
01:37 You are always playing with your imaginary friend.
01:42 When the connection is severed, the entity becomes enraged.
01:46 He says he's right behind you.
01:53 But it was just my imagination.
01:57 Can I hang out with your imaginary friend?
02:00 He's not imaginary.
02:02 And he's not your friend.
