EJ Moreno reviews the new horror film Buddy…
As a kid growing up during the peak of children’s entertainment, like Barney and Bananas in Pajamas, it’s undeniable how much these shows impacted us. It was equal parts terrifying and entertaining, which is what Buddy perfectly captures. The film is unapologetically entrenched in all the oddities of kids’ shows, while elevating the idea to heights you’d never expect. If you think you know where this is going, you truly have no idea.
With the best final girl of the decade and awards-worthy production design, it’s easy to hail this as one of the must-see horror films of the year. If you didn’t know writer-director Casper Kelly before this, you’ll never forget the name.
