News Buffet Infinity The Buffet Infinity Trailer Defies Explanation You’ll never look at retro low-budget commercials and/or buffets the same way again By Vanessa Armstrong | Published on April 7, 2026 Screenshot: Yellow Veil Pictures Comment 0 Share New Share Screenshot: Yellow Veil Pictures The critically acclaimed, certifiably weird comedy-horror film Buffet Infinity is coming for us, and there’s a new trailer for the film that is frankly worth watching without knowing anything about the movie. I suggest going to the bottom of this post and watching it now, though I’ll continue to write words if you’d prefer a written description instead. Buffet Infinity comes from writer-director Simon Glassman and is made up of television ads, some real, some fake, that tell a story about… well, I’ll just let the official synopsis do the heavy lifting here: Echoing the Canadian comedy classic SCTV and picking from hundreds of hours of original, low-budget TV ads 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. Sentient restaurants? Sinkholes? How did this film come to be? “The concept of a film told through advertisements has been with me since the mid-’90s,” Glassman told Variety when the film was picked up by Yellow Veil Pictures for distribution back in July. “At the time, The Simpsons were promoting a crossover episode with The X-Files where agents Mulder and Scully would be making cameos, and it was such a big deal that the network began referencing the episode inside other advertisements. Maybe it was just the Butterfinger commercial? Honestly, I can’t really recall… but I remember really liking that it was a strange, fully immersive experience.” Glassman added that he wanted to “tell a story of a brand as a sentient intelligence and invasive presence… how it grows, struggles, transforms, and sometimes attacks.” The film stars Kevin Singh, Claire Theobald, and Donovan Workun. It’s set to premiere in theaters on April 28, 2026, and on digital starting May 8, 2026. Check out the bonkers trailer below.
