'Buffet Infinity' is a Canadian mockumentary from director Simon Glassman that joins a wave of 2026 horror films revisiting nostalgic media, but stands out by being entirely constructed from fictional local-television programming rather than merely referencing it. The film, told wholly through commercials, news reports and local notices from a fictional Alberta town, follows the sinister expansion of an all-you-can-eat restaurant that gradually swallows up rival local businesses, using the format to build an unsettling, escalating conspiracy that critics regard as a standout genre debut.

Styled after Second City Television sketches from the late 1970s and early 1980s, the film uses grainy period-accurate production values and rapid-fire editing to satirise consumerism and the way local monopolies form from humble beginnings. Its news segments trace a decline from honest journalism into sensationalism and eventual complicity as a death cult emerges, while its recurring adverts double as sharp commentary on how corporations discredit unfavourable media coverage as libel. Originally conceived as a YouTube sketch, the film is praised for balancing spontaneous gags with a well-constructed narrative arc, and is tipped to become a cult favourite.
