A bright orange unicorn sings to a studio audience of children, and the children cannot leave. Casper Kelly directs from a script he wrote with Jamie King, and the setup is a fake 1990s kids' television series with real kids stuck inside its format, hunting for an exit while their giant host curdles from cheerful into something brutal. A woman connected to one of them gets pulled into the broadcast as well.

Keegan-Michael Key voices Buddy. Cristin Milioti, Delaney Quinn, Patton Oswalt, Michael Shannon and Topher Grace fill out the cast, a lineup that leans comic and suggests the black comedy in the billing is meant literally.

Not much else is public yet. The film is dated 2026, it sits in the supernatural horror aisle, and the premise puts it in company with the small run of stories that weaponise the shapes of children's programming. Worth watching for if that idea appeals, though anyone hoping for a full picture of how it plays will have to wait for the release.
