Worst F*%King Blumhouse Movie Yet!!! “Imaginary” (2024) Movie Rant Review

Blumhouse is to horror what Adam Sandler was to comedy. The movies started out strong, but then they just started churning out garbage.

[@theogirrific]

Damn! You went off! Hopefully something good will come along. On a good note, I just saw 3 movies you recommended…Talk To Me, Terrified and When Evil Lurks. Each movie got darker and darker and I loved it.❤ Thanks!🙂👍🏽

[@rifftipton7709]

Can't wait to not watch it.

[@jenniferandrews8665]

Blumhouse has been going downhill for a while now. They were killing it at one time, that's was at the beginning. I would be so ready to watch a Blum movie when they were announced. Not so much now, it's a damn shame!¡

[@GhostPirateEntertainment]

The ones they don’t put in theaters are still good, that’s the wild part

The thumbnail with you and the bear is awesome. Had you photoshopped a patch over the bear's eye I would have crapped myself laughing.

[@tidoreon]

Totally agree! The chemistry between the female lead and the rest of the cast was very lacking. I enjoyed the trailer and assumed there would be more to the movie. I went in hoping for a decent horror and it turned out to be some daycare thriller.

[@nickpartynski6663]

thanks for enduring through this movie for us Kainin!!! im just gonna watch Dune part 2 for a 2nd time instead!!!

[@rustyshackleford6035]

I'm hearing Good things about Love Lies Bleeding and it's from A24 there movies are usually good if your not turned off by Lesbian love scenes I'm going to try to go see it myself soon

[@teebellerina8783]

Omgsh! Listening to GP describe how uncomfortable the characters were with each other and how uncomfortable he seemed explaining this had me PMSL 😂 Dude sounds like he’s in pain from the sheer disappointment. Soooo not funny due to wasted money, but I was laughing all the way through this. I’m sorry to laugh but the feedback had me crying with laughter. To be fair, I didn’t even think the ads for this one looks good. It hasn’t been on my radar to watch. Looks sh*t just from the trailers. Super glad for the feedback. ❤

[@GhostPirateEntertainment]

No apologies needed

[@buddyrichable1]

Boycott Blumhouse, run them out of business. There are people who genuinely want to do good work and will come along to fill the void.

[@georgiannwilkie6305]

You are not alone with your review for Imaginary. The woman who has Spooky Astronauts from Australia says basically the same thing about the review to not pay money to see this film. You are awesome and have a beautiful weekend!!

[@GhostPirateEntertainment]

Yeah I’m seeing more and more people hating on it now, but when I shot this i was wondering if I was on an island 😂

[@georgiannwilkie6305]

Thanks for your reply. Appreciate hearing from you.

[@ksmooth1973]

Most of the critics hated this movie

[@user-sc6wq3qg5h]

K, I appreciate your honesty! I was really surprised some reviewers enjoyed this movie. When Ken Sledge said he liked I was shocked but appreciate he connected to dad's story in the movie. This is something for the teeny bops. But I feel for this generations teeny bops bc the quality of their gateway horror movies isn't the same par as those of us from the 80's and 90's

[@kohtan13kumi]

I get really happy when I get to see a horror movie in theaters, too! When I lived in a city, it would change my month. My picks are often lumped into the 'artsy' category...but I wish people gave 'different' and 'slow' a chance more often. Side note--movies like this or the FNAF franchise are so many kids' intro to the genre. Rose Red and the side story about Ellen were mine. My nephew loves FNAF so I gave him Little Nightmares but...maybe too intense...

[@RebeccaEdwardsJamesEdwards]

I love & appreciate your honesty! You're the most fair reviewer I've seen. So....your review of this speaks volumes.

[@anthonydavella8350]

I actually expect less from the movies released in theaters than from some of the gems you have turned me onto on Tubi and Hulu. Piggy was such a good film, characters you care about and great last act. Hollyweird is digging its grave movie after movie. I feel sorry for the theater owners, I really do

Great man, your comments on this movie are phenomenal. Just like I wrote you, i could'nt see Imaginary and after what you and Spooky Astronaut, wich I really loved her comments on horror movies, said i will wait to see it streaming on Netflix or Tubi. It is really disappointing taht BlumHouse seem to make more money instead of giving us real good horror movies. It is a real shame. I supposed that Production Houses want to make money but at least they trying to give us something taht we really enjoy wit a good story and fantastic cast. Keep the good job Bro, you are really teally fantastic in what you're doing.

[@trmarple]

Man thanks for saving me! I was thinking about watching this next week…I’ll wait till it’s free. Can’t wait to hear your review of Late Night with the Devil! Heard nothing but good things so far.

This and Jeepers Creepers 4 are probably the angriest you've gotten at a film.

[@GhostPirateEntertainment]

Yeah JC4 is king it’s the only movie I can say I honestly hated

[@Cruddy129]

When you go see a horror movie and you are in a theatre full of CHILDREN, and that they are so bored of the movie that they just run rampant for over an hour - that should be a perfect example of a failed movie for even their unintended audience

[@AgtDrake]

I saw this with my son and friend on opening night. It was terrible. Halfway thru I asked my friend "isn't this supposed to be a horror movie?". It had all the old tropes; family moving to new location, angry stepkids, step parent trying to connect with children, past trauma... I told my friend at the end that this could've been released on Disney+. The youngest daughter's acting was so "theater" and hammy it was terrible.

[@GhostPirateEntertainment]

Yeah it did kinda feel like a Disney movie lol now that I think about it

[@williamfowler687]

I love your honesty! Just watched the remake of the Blob for the first time. Excellent!

That scene where Chauncey lures the teenager with the pull cord as if he was playing with a kitten is infuriating. Right from the beginning, when he just cannot see the toy that is right within his field of vision.

[@GhostPirateEntertainment]

Yeah and nothing actually happens it’s just what you see in the trailer

[@dontheador6649]

I remember back when Lionsgate was that studio when it came giving more niche Horror films a chance (or foreign ones). Now they have their own subsidiary for it and man are they blowing it! I'm still going to have to give this a watch, but thank you for the great review. It seems like it's ALL bad across the board. Awesome shades bro!

[@ksmooth1973]

I knew it was crap the minute I saw the trailer, just like this movie Tarot that is coming it looks the same as this. Predictable and horrible jump scares. This and night swim were so bad same script demon in the pool and then demon in your imagination duh.

Thanks, K-Ghost, fo your honest opinions and insights into this movie. I only watch your videos regarding horror/sci/fi movies. I prefer to watch a horror movie with substance and some intelligence. Why were horror movies so much better back in the day compared to now? What? No one can make a decent horror movie (Blum House) anymore? I wonder what Blum House's stock value is these days????

[@GhostPirateEntertainment]

They make a few good ones every year too it’s a weird situation their in

[@keithdrummond1003]

I thought I was going crazy. There were about two dozen people in my theater. I was easily the oldest. My daughter, at 15, was the youngest. Everyone else looked to be in their 20s to early 30s. I was the only person there not laughing or cheering and having a good time. I'm not saying I won't see another Wadlow movie. I just know alcohol will be a must.

[@SledgehammerHorror]

You KILLED this review. I feel like I’m the only person on the planet that liked it 🤣🤣🤣. I feel like this is gateway horror made for kids, but was marketed as something it wasn’t.

[@GhostPirateEntertainment]

Yeah it is gateway and I’m fine with that but you don’t have to dumb things down and make a poorly written, poor dialogue, silly characters to do that. Look at all the 1980s gateway we had. I think we are all being to kind to blumhouse and not holding their feet to the fire and expecting better movies.

[@SledgehammerHorror]

For sure. honestly think the dad/daughter hospital sub plot is what brought it up so much for me, watching him give EVERYTHING for his little girl was an amazing moment i didn't see coming.@@GhostPirateEntertainment

[@constancegrogan7027]

SAME!!!!! I WASTED MY FREE TICKET!

[@TheTajarra]

Man I missed the premiere by a few minutes! Blumhouse was the dark horse for so long, coming out with really innovative stuff. It makes me sad to hear how Jason Blum is just all blah and about the cash, it's like the Disney of horror movies. We want quality and not just a machine pumping out drivel. Plus, why use writers with proven flops, I mean Truth or Dare was a joke, it was soooooo bad. It also seems like these writers get horrible casting agents, they all seem to have no chemistry even with cheesy dialogue. I'll give this a pass. If you want a good "teddy bear" movie, watch Benny Loves You.

[@GhostPirateEntertainment]

Because even though truth or dare and fantasy island sucked they both made money and that’s what it’s about

[@TheTajarra]

@@GhostPirateEntertainmentTrue, I mean they are a business. Just like some integrity mixed in with my entertainment I guess LOL

[@scottricci5063]

Agreed. Blumhouse has put out in theatres the worst crap in horror over the last few years. Obviously they're cash grabs in the most blatant highway robbery way. Not worth the the theatre experience at all.

[@RedGlassFilms]

I haven’t been impressed with a lot of the Blumhouse films lately. I feel like the concepts are interesting and even though they always start out pretty cookie-cutter which I now expect, they never really get much better from there. Most kinda end up getting worse and finish as expected….But I’m not one to criticize. Mostly because we tried to make a psychological horror crime mystery with a 2-man team on a beer money budget once and it was about as terrible as you’d expect! :)

[@Amanda-ul5nr]

Yes I agree.. it’s dif if it’s straight to streaming.. dif set of expectations

[@bell6dandy564]

Does anyone remember this short horror show, I think it was on HBO? and there was an episode with a kid and thier teddy bear, and I think the teddy bears eyes would glow red and it ate this other blond doll, and the mom cut it open and found the dolls hair, then at the end they were screaming and trying to run from an actual or life sized bear/t.bear cuz it was the smaller ones mom or something? It ended on a shot of the human mom and kid cowering in a room while the big bear was creeping up to them? I think it was a show called Monsters, or some other kind of short anthology series. In another episode it showed this guy crafting a giant mousetrap and then putting himself into it..that may have been another show, my dad would just let us watch scary stuff and laugh if we got scared!
