Director Casper Kelly spoke with Rue Morgue about BUDDY, a horror film centered on an orange unicorn whose cheerful television world turns sinister when a child refuses to follow its rules. The film, written by Kelly and Jamie King, opens August 28 from Roadside Attractions and Saban Films.
Rue Morgue’s review of BUDDY praises Casper Kelly’s unsettling transformation of nostalgic children’s programming into a surreal horror story. Starring Cristin Milioti, Delaney Quinn and Keegan-Michael Key, the film opened theatrically on August 28 after its international premiere at Fantasia earlier this month.
Casper Kelly’s BUDDY follows a mother who begins to question her family’s history after insisting she once had a third child. FANGORIA’s analysis connects the film’s supernatural horror to themes of gaslighting, memory, and the need to reclaim one’s lived experience.
