Fast food chain Hamudders is serving up Brian Yuzna-levels of horror with a dash of Nickelodeon nostalgia in our exclusive teaser debut of Flapjax.
Director Rocko Zevenbergen’s sci-fi horror comedy makes its world premiere next week at Fantastic Fest, running September 17-24 in Austin, Texas.
In the film, “An annoyingly optimistic, but endearingly earnest, fast food restaurant manager is tasked with relaunching the long-dormant product, Flapjax, and no amount of mysterious warnings or disappearances is going to get in his way in this campy horror-comedy.”
Watch the teaser below, which introduces the rather addictive but unappetizing Flapjax and its flesh-melting consequences.
Zevenbergen co-wrote the screenplay with Estevan Muñoz, who also appears in the film.
“‘Flapjax’ has been in the works for over six years now. It is such a thrill to finally unleash our micro-epic ‘onto the menu,’ as it were. Audiences can expect a rollercoaster ride through cinematic styles; moments inspired by Ozu and Cronenberg blend in a style I believe is unique to our picture. I’m hopeful festival audiences will be swept away by our incredible cast, led by Gabriel Cagan, into the world of Hamudders, alien conspiracies, and …mommy issues!?” Zevenbergen previously told Variety.
The filmmaker also produced the film with Aerin Chaklai, George Jones, Jefferson Moneo, Patrick Hackett and Fabiola Caraza on behalf of Prowler Pictures, while Daniel Futa, Mike Chapman and Fatima Hayward served as executive producers.
Stay tuned for more on Flapjax and Fantastic Fest’s 2026 edition when the festival gets underway next week.
