BUDDY Official Teaser: Caper Kelly's Horror Comedy is Coming to Theaters on August 28th

Remember BUDDY—the bright orange unicorn and star of that classic childrens' television show who brought joy and life lessons into your living room?

 

Inside the colorful world of "It's Buddy!", a group of children spend their days singing, dancing, and helping Buddy spread happiness. But when one child refuses to play along, Buddy is not pleased and cracks begin to appear in this seemingly perfect world.

Deftly balancing dark, cringe-worthy comedy with absurdist horror, Buddy delivers exactly what its primary image of a half-charred Buddy wielding an ax in an artificial forest promised: Twisted fun (not) for the whole family. The deaths are unexpectedly gory, Buddy makes for a terrifying antagonist, and Freddy, after emerging as a non-conventional “final girl,” transforms into a suitably root-worthy hero, driven by an unquenchable desire to escape Buddy’s control and assert her agency and autonomy from the Powers-That-Be (Buddy).
