Severely unsettling story about a children’s show gone horribly, bloody wrong. Reminiscent of Barney but with a Lynchian electricity, this wolf in cartoon’s clothing is an orange unicorn and lures innocent children into its grasp with uncomfortable positivity, complete submissiveness, and a cheerful yet sinister power dynamic. This postmodern, totally unhinged horror-“comedy” made by an Adult Swim writer stars Cristin Milioti and Delaney Quinn, and features Patton Oswalt and Keegan-Michael Key as the voice of Buddy. (dir. Casper Kelly, US, 2026, 96 min.)
“It’s a trippy, ballsy, and genuinely entertaining package that shouldn’t work at all. But it does, and I can’t believe it exists.” —RogerEbert.com
