A little girl makes an imaginary friend in the form of a creepy teddy bear in Jeff Wadlow's horror film.

There’s a lot to unpack in the new horror film from Blumhouse, which seems designed to provide fodder for family therapy sessions throughout the country.) is dealing with a father who has withdrawn into a near-comatose state and resides in an assisted living facility after a traumatic event many years earlier. Her rock musician husband Max has an ex-wife who lapsed into addiction and insanity and has been institutionalized after harming one of her children.

The new house is where Alice finds the bear, who at first seems harmless enough. Everyone keeps referring to it as Alice’s “imaginary friend,” much like the one that Jessica herself had in the same house many years earlier. Alice seems happily content with Chauncey, sitting down for a tea party with him and playing hide and seek. But their close relationship grows increasingly disturbing, especially when he makes her engage in a scavenger hunt that turns dangerous.

And then there’s the supporting character of Gloria, a creepy old woman who wanders around the neighborhood at all hours and seems desperate for conversation. It turns out that she’s Jessica’s former babysitter and has inside knowledge of her past nightmarish experiences. She’s also an author who specializes in the subject of imaginary friends, which comes in very handy when the group decides to offer a benediction to summon a spirit from another realm.
