‘Buffet Infinity’
Starts streaming: Aug. 21
This year has brought several inventive low-budget horror films. Adding to the list is “Buffet Infinity,” directed by Simon Glassman. The movie unfolds through a series of local TV ads and news clips, narrating the tale of an alluring all-you-can-eat restaurant spreading across an Alberta city. Secondary plots, including a peculiar religious cult opposing the restaurant, add layers to the story. Initially resembling a late-night TV comedy sketch, “Buffet Infinity” becomes increasingly eerie and surreal as the narrative pieces align.
