Imaginary

That was the thing.

Like, it looked like, okay, here's another Blumhouse movie like Imaginary or something like that where the trailer looks good, and it may or may not be good.

Mm-hmm.

'Cause that's what [laughs] happens.

Night Swim and The Woman in the Yard, for example, were sadly very boring and predictable without any original scares.

Imaginary, however, has to be the worst offender, literally copy and pasting the same third act from the latest Insidious movie at the time.

In both films, the climax comes down to painting over the door that the scary entity comes from.

It's lazy and frustrating, especially coming from the perspective of someone who pays money to see all of these movies in theaters.

It just feels like a classic situation where they neutered the horror film to appeal to a wider audience.

But dude, like a horror audience is not looking for that.

That's why I think a lot of fans moan and groan when it comes to-To things like Night Swim, Imaginary, and sadly, The Boogeyman 2.

Horror movies that have too happy of an ending I think can kind of stomp out a lot of the terror you felt beforehand.

[laughs] Yeah

... "and Imaginary," you know, or whatever.

[laughs]

Yeah.

That's right

... where we talked about...

It was

He is a producer, formerly first AD extraordinaire, a UPM, and worked extensively with Blumhouse.

Latest film he produced was Imaginary, and we can talk some more about some stuff you have coming up that is really, really cool.

Paul, thank you for joining me.

I know I'm always a pain in your ass to, uh, to-

Um-

Mm-hmm

... you worked with Blumhouse on a lot of stuff that was straight to Amazon or m- with Imaginary, there was a theatrical window, but it was, like, two weeks or something, right? Um, did those get any kind of physical release or anything, or are those just legitimately streaming for streaming and then that was it?

Um, the Amazon run and then the S- it wasn't Starz.

Let's talk The Devil's Mouth.

The Devil's Mouth is a 2026 survival horror thriller directed by Jeff Wadlow, the director behind movies like Truth or Dare, that was pretty good, Fantasy Island, and Imaginary.

The movie stars Katherine Newton as Sarah, Lana Condor as Max, Niko Haraga as James, Gavin Casalegno as Greg, Tommy Rose as Adrian, and Tame Taptim Tong as their guide, Watt.
