A horror film powered by millennial angst, "Buffet Infinity" | Simon Glassman Interview
Bloody Good HorrorShow Notes
Rachel sits down with Canadian Director Simon Glassman to discuss his surrealistic, cosmic horror comedy Buffet Infinity. A profoundly original film that weaves millennial nostalgia for local cable commercials into a terrifying and hilarious battle over business and the fate of reality itself. The film hits streaming May 8th, 2026 after a small theatrical run.
Topics covered include the cosmic horror of AI, why he kept the full movie from the cast until it was released, and why “Buffet Infinity” scratches that conspiratorial itch without all of the baggage. Plus, what Glassman is up to next.
“Buffet Infinity” is a Canadian satirical comedy horror film, directed by Simon Glassman. 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
