Summary
The first teaser for Buddy has arrived, previewing an original horror film built around a bright orange unicorn from a children’s TV show whose world turns sinister when one child refuses to play along.
Casper Kelly co-wrote and directed the film, extending his off-kilter TV-horror style from projects including Too Many Cooks and last year’s V/H/S/Halloween segment.
Cristin Milioti, Patton Oswalt, Michael Shannon and Delaney Quinn lead the cast, with Topher Grace and Keegan-Michael Key also appearing.
Buddy joins a durable horror niche that twists children’s programming and nostalgia into nightmare material, but unlike some recent entries, it is an original creation rather than a public-domain reworking.
