Backyard Boys

About This Movie

Backyard Boys is a gritty dive into the underbelly of carnival life, where the vibrant colors of the midway fade into the shadows of the night. The narrative brings together a cast of twisted characters, each performing their own brand of fetishistic acts that push the boundaries of conventional storytelling. The practical effects in this film are raw and unfiltered, creating a surreal atmosphere that complements the eerie, almost claustrophobic setting. It's not just about the spectacle; it's about the exploration of human desires, the dark humor lurking beneath the surface, and Buff’s unique vision that stands apart in indie cinema. Expect a pacing that feels both frantic and languid, embodying the chaotic energy of the carnival itself.

Backyard Boys has a certain obscurity that makes it interesting for collectors, as it wasn't widely released. Originally available in limited home video formats, it has since become a rarity, drawing in those with a taste for the unconventional. The film's niche appeal and the unique vision of Tony Buff have cultivated a small but dedicated following, making it a subject of discussion among collectors who appreciate underground cinema.
