Is Buddy one of the strangest horror movies of the year? We think so — and that's exactly why we had a lot to talk about!
In this episode of After the Scream with Chris & Jess, we review Buddy, the new horror comedy that takes the innocent world of classic ’90s children’s television and turns it into something seriously disturbing.
We talk about what makes Buddy different, including the fascinating idea that the children don't simply WATCH the Buddy show — they believe they actually LIVE in it. What happens when a child's favorite TV character isn't just a character, but their entire reality?
We also dive into Buddy himself, why he needs children to love him, the movie's themes of childhood innocence, control, forced happiness, and the disturbing relationship between children and the entertainment they trust.
Plus, we discuss what worked, what didn't, the horror and comedy, the performances, and whether Buddy may have been better as a shorter film.
Was Buddy a fresh and crazy take on children's TV horror, or did the concept simply run too long?
Watch our full review and let us know what you think!
