**Buddy** (2026), Casper Kelly’s horror-comedy reimagining a beloved 1990s children’s unicorn mascot as a malevolent slasher, earned strong early critical support following its Sundance Midnight premiere. The Tomatometer currently sits in the low-to-mid 80s (around 84-85% from roughly 47 reviews), with praise centering on the film’s inventive premise, precise recreation of plasticky kids-TV aesthetics, practical effects, and genre-blending absurdity. Critics note some uneven pacing and limited scares as drawbacks. With wide theatrical release scheduled for August 28, additional mainstream reviews could nudge the certified score before the August 31 resolution cutoff. Traders are monitoring how festival buzz translates to broader critic consensus and whether late arrivals push the percentage meaningfully higher or lower.
