The first Buddy trailer teases a unicorn-centered tale with a dark, not-for-kids vibe, featuring a star-studded cast (Delaney Quinn, Patton Oswalt, Cristin Milioti, Michael Shannon, Topher Grace, Keegan-Michael Key) and hitting theaters on August 28.
Casper Kelly's horror-comedy Buddy stars Cristin Milioti and Keegan-Michael Key as a children's-show unicorn host whose sunny world turns sinister; the teaser arrives ahead of Sundance premiere and an Aug. 28 theatrical release via Roadside Attractions, with a cast that also includes Topher Grace, Delaney Quinn, Patton Oswalt and Michael Shannon.
Casper Kelly’s Sundance Midnight feature Buddy reimagines a Barney-like dinosaur as a cuddly unicorn that traps children inside a TV show, killing those who misbehave; the surreal, toy-set world nods to Pee-wee’s Playhouse and Dora, with Keegan-MillKey, Michael Shannon and Cristin Milioti headlining as Kelly pushes his pop-culture nightmare aesthetic toward a theatrical release.
Casper Kelly’s Buddy, premiered at Sundance 2026, turns a wholesome 1990s kids’ show into a blood‑soaked, time‑loop horror as a talking orange unicorn murders children who disobey, while a separate storyline follows Grace uncovering a link to a forgotten 1999 program. The film is praised for its audacious concept, meticulous ’90s production design, and its potential to become a cult midnight movie, earning a B+ and aiming for U.S. distribution.
Casper Kelly's Buddy aims to be a horror riff on a Barney-like character but mostly fumbles: a sunny killer in a children’s show world, voiced by Keegan-Michael Key, is not scary enough, the real-world/TV-world merge lacks stakes, and the kills are tame and unoriginal, resulting in an uneven Sundance debut that isn’t likely to become a breakout horror or secure distribution.
Casper Kelly’s Buddy reimagines a 1999 kids’ show as a grotesque, existential horror-comedy, using the pastel world of Buddy to probe television’s grip on reality, growing up, and the exploitative nature of child actors, anchored by standout performances from Cristin Milioti and Delaney Quinn, with a Lynchian, mind-bending finale.
