Buffet Infinity has an unconventional trailer to prepare you for the film, which takes a retro-screenlife approach to tell a story through a series of faux TV commercials.
The Canadian horror-comedy will be released in select theaters April 24 before hitting VOD May 8 via Yellow Veil Pictures.
Echoing Canadian comedy classic “SCTV,” the film crosscuts between original, low-budget TV commercials to tell the sinister tale of two restaurants battling it out in the fictional town of Westridge County.
Ads for insurance, used car rivals, a local religious scholar, and a recording artist converge to tell the story of an expanding sinkhole, a cult, and an ever-growing restaurant that becomes unsettlingly sentient.
Ahmed Ahmed, Kevin Singh, Donovan Workun, Allison Bench, and Claire Theobald star.
Simon Glassman writes and directs, in addition to producing alongside Bench and Michael Peterson (Night of the Reaper, Dark Match).
I wrote in my review out of the Boston Underground Film Festival, “Fans of WNUF Halloween Special and Too Many Cooks will certainly get their fill with Buffet Infinity, although it lacks the discipline of the former and the operatic absurdity of the latter.”
Buffet Infinity premiered at the 2025 Fantasia Film, where it received a Special Jury Mention. It will screen later this week at the Overlook Film Festival in New Orleans.
