Imaginary

“Imaginary” is a 2024 horror and Blumhouse’s newest movie. It stars DeWanda Wise (Jurassic World Dominion), Taegen Burns (Blue Ridge), Pyper Braun (Erin & Aaron), and Betty Buckley (Split).

A mom (Wise), husband and her two step kids (Burns, and Braun) purchase, and move back to the mother’s childhood home. Her youngest stepdaughter (Braun) makes a new imaginary friend. While it seems innocent at first, it is soon reveled the imaginary friend has much more sinister intentions.

I went into this movie cold, not really knowing much about it, but if it’s a horror movie, especially by Blumhouse there’s a good chance I’m going to see it. It surpassed my expectations. It’s not exactly scary, but it is creepy. It gives you sense of unease through the entire movie, which is very hard to do. My only real issue with the film is its pacing, the first half or so is on the boring side, but once it takes off, it goes hard with the creepiness. The story is unique, and overall, it’s a great watch for any horror fan. Even with the slow start I still give it an 8/10.

Fatherhood

‘Fatherhood’ is currently the number one movie on Netflix starring Kevin Hart (Jumangi Welcome to the Jungle), Lil Rel Howery (Uncle Drew), Melody Hurd (Them), Anthony Carrigan (Gotham), Alfre Woodard (12 Years a Slave), DeWanda Wise (She’s Gotta Have It), and Paul Reiser (Mad About You).

‘Fatherhood’ is based off the true story of a father who raises his baby girl on his own after his wife dies shortly after child birth.

Netflix recently gave Kevin Hart the Adam Sandler deal, where they signed him to a series of movies for really big money. Smart move on Netflix, as Kevin Hart is one of the biggest comics in the game right now and I imagine highly sought after. This isn’t his typical role as he normally plays a goofy role, and this one is more serious, as he is playing a single father raising a daughter. He still adds his sense of humor and jokes making it not a total serious/dramatic movie. I liked the movie, it’s heartfelt, funny while touching at the same time. Kevin Hart plays a great role. My wife found it more sad than heartfelt, and cried through the majority of it, but she liked it as well. So whether you find it more funny and heartfelt like I did, or sad like she did, you’ll still enjoy it, and enjoy Hart’s performance. I give it a 6.5/10.
