Buffet Infinity is a Canadian satirical comedy horror film, directed by Simon Glassman[1] and released in 2025.[2] A satire of consumerism inspired by Second City Television and told entirely through mock television commercials instead of conventional narrative, the film centres on the fictional Westridge County in Alberta where two restaurants are fighting each other for dominance, spawning cults and sinkholes and other apocalyptic consequences.[3]
The cast includes Kevin Singh, Claire Theobald and Donovan Workun. Glassman began working on the film in 2020 as a short YouTube sketch before expanding the concept, shooting and reshooting hundreds of scenes for the film of which not all were actually used.[2]
The film premiered at the 29th Fantasia International Film Festival in July 2025,[4] where Glassman received a special jury mention from Best Canadian Director award jury.[5] The film has also been awarded Best Editing at the 2025 Brooklyn Horror Film Festival. [6]
Glassman additionally shot several promotional videos for the festival program, featuring characters from the film to highlight both Buffet Infinity and other films.[2]
Plot
A local restaurant begins facing opposition from the new and mysterious Buffet Infinity restaurant. While offering incredible prices, questions begin to arise about the buffet when townspeople begin going missing and the restaurant shows influence both by expanding and showing up in unexpected places. Through commercials and news segments that present as found footage[7], it becomes clear that Buffet Infinity may be more than just a restaurant. While a local author and philosopher tries to warn those who can still fight back, a personal injury lawyer works to stay on the right side of the entity, and Ahmed's Pawn Shop just tries to stay in business.
