Video Review – Buddy is a horror film that should not be missed in 2026.

      EJ Moreno reviews the new horror film Buddy…

      Growing up during the golden age of children's entertainment, with shows like Barney and Bananas in Pajamas, it's clear how influential they were. These programs combined elements of fear and amusement, a balance that Buddy brilliantly achieves. The film dives deep into the quirks of children's shows while taking the concept to unexpected heights. If you believe you know the direction it’s headed, you’re in for a surprise.

      With the decade's most impressive final girl and production design that deserves accolades, it’s easy to declare this one of the year’s must-watch horror films. If you weren't familiar with writer-director Casper Kelly before, you'll certainly remember the name after this.
