UK PREMIERE - Imagine your favourite cuddly kids’ TV character growing up - not getting any wiser, but turning into an axe-wielding nightmare! Meet Buddy, a bright orange unicorn, the cheerleading star of a children’s television show designed to teach kindness, sharing and simple morals. With its wholesome tone and sing-song vocals, it’s the perfect kiddie entertainment. Until Buddy snaps and transforms into a terrifying monster and young Freddy must escape from the show she’s trapped inside. Grotesque, funny and genuinely creepy, and definitely not for children; it’s trippy and disorienting, but also unexpectedly emotional, finding moments of sadness and tenderness amid the carnage.
