I was too scared (in my mid-40s) to watch this alone in the theater. Now I have people to watch it with! 🤣

I saw this by myself in the theater and had a time! Can't wait to laugh and scream along with yall!

I feel like he pops out for the horrors especially

Bailey White

I think you guys might have missed the old guy in the prairie was also a kid on the show a long time ago and escaped. He’s been trapped there his entire life. Hence why his clothes didn’t fit So he technically still thought he was a child as he never had the chance to grow up.

So happy yall reacted to this, it’s my fave horror this year after Obsession. I think your scores reflect some of your uncomfortability with some stuff but that’s kind’ve the point. This is commentary on child acting. You have kids forced to do their jobs and be happy, even when they see troubling things happening. The get “axed” when they don’t follow protocol. When they try to escape that world and are in the wilderness they run into other former child actors who are messed up, introduce them to drugs and SA. When they get to where they think they’ll be safe they find out it’s not real and go back to what they know. They are literally snatched out of their everyday lives into that world. The parents left behind start feeling like they don’t have a kid. The mom who’s worried ends up getting sucked in, and when she tries to save them gets axed. Everyone in that world is scared of the big star so they act like they dont see what’s going on. If you love him your in his good graces, if not you’re punished. That world traumatizes them, or literally eats them alive. You have to fight your way out, and when you do, everything you knew no longer exists and you’re in a world where you just don’t speak the same language. That’s why I love it. I think horror previously (unless deemed a psychological thriller) is approached with almost a sense of not taking it seriously. But in my opinion, horror recently is making really smart films and just taking the theatrical liberties of the genre. But that’s part of the reason for the shift halfway through.

I am Buddy’s #1 fan, so I only picked up on this in my 2nd and third watch lol first watch I just loved the concept and the campy-ness of it all 😂

MHC_18_H

I was about to write a comment saying I didn't like the movie (not really sure what I was expecting, but I just didn't care for it) without having given it much thought. But now that I've read your comment and analysis, I have to thank you for explaining the actual theme 'cause it actually got me interested, and you made me rethink what I just watched. This is exactly why I wouldn't be a good series or movie reactor 🙂‍↔️

i loved watching this in theaters, the themes are quite dark but i think its metaphor for grooming

Lisa Clark

I agree with Mason Quinn. I bought into the episode of the show and was prepared for that to essentially be the whole movie, but once it changes to the real world and the tone changes, it's hard to "buy in" and take that seriously after the outlandish tone of the show. I think if they had reversed it and started off more seriously then changed to the dark humor of the show, that might have worked better.

Kyle Southworth

I just watched this for the first time with you guys and I really enjoyed it. It was way better than I expected! That being said, even though I did like this movie, I'm not sure if it's one that I would watch again on my own. I would definitely love to watch it again with other people but that is really just to see their reactions to it. I do hope they do a sequel as long as they do it right.

Leah

Wonderfully put!

Chantal

Its not scary….at all

Lou_Lou

I'm only 5 minutes in, but it's obviously making fun of the kids' TV show Barney.

Hal Perry

Wow. This may have been the worst film I've ever seen in my entire life.

Brad Olson

Scared? This movie is very tame...

StephMurph

All I know is that I tried to watch a horror movie in the theater once and jumped and spilled popcorn all over the people in front of me...now I watch horror movies at home during the day

melrr

100% agree with this. Tied in with the themes of child actors and human trafficking, the man child (Clint Howard) developed mental disorders with the puppet becoming his coping mechanism that he eventually fell in love with. He escaped his captor but couldn't find his way home so he lived out in the wild and stole what he could to get by. Or like many child actors, they start taking drugs (the flower petals) and end up homeless on the streets with an addiction and possibly mental illness. When his abuser hugged him (for the magic-related reason of needing children) Buddy told him he was too old and killed him, like a producer or someone working on a show dropping child actors once they get too old.

I'm Batman

This was phenomenal. Top 3 horror movie of the year for me. Still have Hokum as my #1 but this was such a blast. Just such a great concept. I'd love it if they made a sequel. This may not be a "perfect film" by any means, but my enjoyment with this movie definitely earned a 5/5 for me.

Alanna Meyers 🍌

A lot of unanswered questions, like why did only the mom have memories of her child and not the dad or siblings? And I wonder if the mail men and nurses were all parents who remembered their kids and wouldn’t give up thus had to be trapped in the show. Also what is Buddy’s motive, we don’t learn too much about the villain. And what does he do with all the bodies, eat them? A similar movie to this is Mr Crockett which I watched for the first time recently. Probably wouldn’t watch either of these movies again but glad I checked them out.

My dad took me to see barney live as a toddler, I cant wait to make him watch this 😂😂😂😂

ShaniaBADDIE4LIFE🤘🐶🐱✨

There were moments in here that were hilarious, and then...it took some weird turns. I was like, "Wait, wtf am I watching?" This is exactly as I thought it would be. Jesus Christ 😂

Tania R

I'm only 30 minutes in and I've been laughing so hard, but I'm also disturbed as all hell 😅.. What on earth did I just watch?! And why am I about to keep watching?! 💀🦄

James

wtf did I just watch. 😂

2026-10-15 18:00 I came in with the lowest of expectations, fully prepared to can the HELL out of this movie. But holy shit, I actually LOVED it! 😂 This had some of the most disturbing shit I've seen in a while, and I'm still recovering! 💀 I'm not a horror fan at all, so the fact that I enjoyed this so much has genuinely shocked me. It felt different from the usual grim horror that I can't stand!! I never, EVER would've watched this without you guys! I know you gents didn't like it, but bloody hell, I had a blast! 4/5! 🦄😂 I WANT A SEQUEL!!!

Glad to watched this with you guys as this movie was never shown here in the Philippines. Much love

Chloe

I agree with Quinn, I enjoyed the tone in the first half of the movie. The second half, I was uncomfortable. And it had two distinct themes, but no conclusion for either. I would have loved an explanation of what the experiments were and how everything was done or for them to have kept it more tongue in cheek with most of the kids and the mom surviving.

H. AW

this made me laugh so hard ngl and i agree i do hope there's a sequel to this

Luna

Great reaction guys ! I honestly was not interested in seeing this movie when the trailer aired … but watching with you guys was actually a lot of fun lol. This was such a wild , freaky, crazy ride. I had no idea where this movie was going the whole time but couldn’t help but enjoy the overall creativeness of it. I lovedddd Barney as a young kid , & the “I hate Buddy” song reminded me of the “I hate Barney” song that my older cousin use to tease me with. & it was pretty similar too lol. “I hate you, You hate me, Let's get together & kill Barney. With a great big punch & a kick from me & you. Won't you say you hate him too.” My cousin use to be evil to me lol. There was also a group created by Rob Curran, called "I Hate Barney Secret Society,", I believe because he hated how much time he lost with his child who use to watch Barney after school . Crazy work but hate towards these type of characters is real …. Even though the hate towards Buddy is warranted (since he kidnaps & kills people, kids, & kills other magical creatures in his world).

Luna

I agree. Even the “I hate Buddy” song is very similar to the “I hate Barney” song that eventually spawned into existence lol.

Summers

I was not going to watch this movie but some of my coworkers wanted to watch it and kept trying to sell.me on the idea cause I like musicals and this movie had a sing along showing. 🤣 Anyways with Bad Medicine and my coworkers bringing up I watched the reaction. I am glad I read your comment before I saw the reaction. It made it enjoyable cause I felt I could follow the references and allegories easier than if I hadnt. Then I could just enjoy the horror, comedy, and the reactions without getting lost on the, "what the heck did I just watched" 😆. Unlike when I saw the Korean Old Boy by accident 15 years back, because I heard the movie had a pretty song and thought it was a bittersweet drama, and not a psychological mindbending twisted thriller movie 😖.

Quinn/Answer losing it in laughter over the first half of the movie, especially the part with the Nurse & Charlie Train getting taken out was the hilarious highlight, gotta love moments like that where Quinn/Answer are laughing, while DD/Oak had this "What The Hell Look" haha 😂 Glad Quinn addressed it cause as someone whose seen "Firefly Fun House' this definitely had vibes of that, just in a MUCH darker tone, Agree with Quinn, I prefer the 1st half of the movie too, that was a cool, unique concept, I would've preferred to have kept the whole movie contained to funhouse park, with the horror aspects, it would've been interesting concept seeing what happens to the children getting replaced everytime something bad happened, her Mother gets sucked into the world, then Freddie finally working out what happened & escape down the well. Ventriloquist Dolls freak me out anyways, but those creepy scenes with them & the scene with Buddy/Nurse didn't need to be in the film. Definitely a "What The Flid Did I Just Watch" experience, but it was a wild ride with you guys & your reactions alone is what made this wacky film a fun watch. ❤️💙💚

Luna

Just realized that this movie has a ton of Barney references & it’s just a dark, twisted, parody of “Barney & Friends”. • Buddy starts off as a small toy until the kids call on him, which is just the same as in the beginning of Barney. • Just like Barney's colorful neighborhood, Buddy’s world features a fenced-in yard, a treehouse, a wishing well, a nurse's office, a mailman, & cheerful lessons about sharing, emotions, & chores. • There’s a “I love you” song & also an “I hate you” song , just like Barney (although the “I hate you” song for Barney wasn’t in the show, but still known by kids all the same. One version went : “I hate you, You hate me, Let's get together & kill Barney. With a great big punch & a kick from me & you. Won't you say you hate him too.” But there were different iterations of this song).

Mari Vaz

I didn't like this one, I thought Iit would be good, but nope. Not for me. Felt unfinished - so I can't really praise for being creative, because nothing gets explained. I like wierd movies, I loved Backrooms- so I don't mind when the movie doesn't explain itself. But idk. This one was a miss for me.

Mari Vaz

Oh and lorazepam can be used as a sedative - so it actually worse

M K7001

I hadn't thought of it specifically from the "hollywood" angle but it did come off as a movie about predators and their manipulation tactics and how they're protected over those they harm. The children constantly trying to expose Buddy but so called trusted adults not really helping them or even believing them in many cases... Or they're also being abused and just fawning because they're in no position to help themselves let alone the kids unless they choose to sacrifice themselves to protect them. Your comment seems more accurate and refined to the themes though really elevates the movie for me. I think I would treat this as talk to me and never watch it again but I do think it's actually really good and I would love to see a sequel.

Don

i love horror movies but i wasn’t a fan of this movie😭 idk it just felt incomplete like i wish they explored the lore behind “Buddy” & the connection between the real word to Buddy’s world, how their memories get erased, Buddy’s origin (is he a demon?), just how everything works really🤷🏻‍♀️ i think it had more potential so i found it quite disappointing

Thtjustinguy

This movie gives me Poppy's Playtime Game vibes, I love it. So damn funny/creepy

Katie

i’m glad quinn and answer know how to have fun with it 🤣

Katie

Gotta give it props too for originality, finally something different

Katie

I hope there will be a sequel diving in to that. I too thought we would learn more about buddy

I'm Batman

Absolutely, a breath of fresh air.
