Buddy

Casper Kelly strikes again! After his incredible V/H/S/Halloween segment "Fun Size", and don't forget his previous [adult swim] work, he delivers Buddy, an innocent kids' television program, much like Barney, that turns violent very fast. Pulled together by an incredible cast (those kids are fantastic) and story, along with a very colorful setting, great practical effects, and plenty of laughs (in a warped way), Buddy delivers on all levels. 

2026 has been very, very kind to theatrical releases (for horror), and I can only hope that it gains the same attention as other releases, such as Obsession and Backrooms. 

Final thoughts: Don't change the channel!
