Buffet Infinity is written and directed by Simon Glassman. It stars Kevin Singh, Claire Theobald, and Donovan Workun.

Hungry – but don’t know what to eat? Need a used car? A lawyer? How about insurance? Or a sandwich?

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.

A24 will soon plunge us all into a terrifying liminal space from which there's no escape, and we couldn't be more excited. A new trailer for "Backrooms," the movie based on the creepy, viral internet sensation, has arrived and it teases one of the most interesting horror films of 2026.

  1. It's Canadian!!
  2. Very creepy. I'm big on slow dread movies. Kind of felt like "I am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House", but the plot device of using the in-movie podcast to explore creepy audio almost gave it a found-footage vibe (I love found-footage).
  3. It was so good in theatres. I've never been more sharply aware of which direction a sound was coming from. I almost feel like the only better experience would be with headphones on a laptop in the dark.

Anyone else see this? I really enjoyed it. Just wondering what others think.

I was actually planning to watch it in the cinema. :) Thankfully I missed the cinema window. I would not have wanted to waste a cinema trip on this.

I am relatively easy going about quality and there are many b-movies that I find very entertaining (I am not only talking about cult classic type productions), but it's difficult to enjoy Return to Silent Hill. I even liked the second Silent Hill movie (I get the impression the first one is slowly becoming a classic with time); it wasn't great, but it had its own experience to offer.

The main actor's expressions and style was off-putting. I couldn't get rid of the feeling that he was thinking in his mind "what the fuck is this shit?". The horror elements didn't work, I didn't feel any tension. The effects seemed solid from a production quality/budget perspective, but they also felt off, in a way that much smaller indie production don't.

Their story telling was also subpar. I've played the original SH2 and seen the other movies, there is a solid base for a good horror story. This felt more like a bunch of Silent Hill themed scenes stitched together with a dude who looked like he has better thing to do.

I prefer sharing interesting movies that I enjoyed, but Return to Silent Hill was bad enough that I had to write this post.

Probably should have gone in with lower expectations (watched the second one with no expectations and I had a good time).

I love this guy and hate what he's going through right now. If you're reading this you probably know exactly who he is, but in case you don't know he portrayed Ash in the legendary Evil Dead series among a lot of other films.

Diving into the roots of the POSTAL series, Running With Scissors recently revealed the new horror first person shooter Flesh & Wire. Hopefully it will go down better than the farce that was POSTAL: Bullet Paradise.

Here you play as Angel, a seemingly normal college student that ends up getting swept up in a mission of revenge. Taking matters into your own hands you'll end up facing off against the law, military and some strange cult - all while trying to get to the Postal Dude.

This one seems to blend the real-world together with a special dream-like world that's "a surreal and otherworldly hallucinatory state where memories, monsters, and Angel’s immediate surroundings blend together and warp into a grotesque nightmare version of reality". Sounds intriguing.

I thought 'I have to make a scary movie because the game is scary'

When an oil tycoon and a famous adventurer vanish into the harsh winter of remote northern Alaska, a hand-picked rescue team endeavors to bring them home. What they don’t know is that they are trespassing on The Yeti’s territory, and the elements are the least of their worries. A blood-spattered survival horror featuring a towering beast and gruesome practical effects, The Yeti hearkens back to a time when monster movies were king.

[REC] is my favorite found footage horror film, because it is really really good.

Call it the reverse Return to Silent Hill effect

The disgraced and despised British entertainer’s distinctive look is trending among some film fans on TikTok. Should somebody tell them what he did?

Honestly, I was expecting the film to be mediocre to horrible based on the critic reviews. I thought it was fucking excellent. It's the perfect blend of psychological and supernatural horror. How could the critics be so wrong? Am I wrong? I really liked the movie. Anyone else here see it? If so, what did you think? I saw the unrated cut, that might matter.

A Night of Horror International Film Festival has just released its first wave for this year’s 18th annual edition, and as usual, it’s a doozy! The fest runs simultaneously with MidWest WeirdFest at the Micon Downtown Cinema in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, making for double the mind-blowing cinema! Following is the official press announcement.

A Night of Horror International Film Festival announces its first programming wave for 2026 today. Long admired as Australia’s premier genre film event, the festival now takes place in the United States. This year, the festival’s 18th edition — and third year in the USA — screens from March 5–8, at the Micon Downtown Cinema in Eau Claire, Wisconsin.

“Get ready for the best and bloodiest new horror cinema from America and the world”, says festival founder and programming director Dean Bertram. “The incredible caliber of films submitted to this year’s festival has made our programming decisions more challenging that ever. And while we are still agonizing over the final program, we are delighted to be able to share the first programming wave for 2026: Consisting of eight stand out features: all among the very best of the several hundred films that we have watched and considered for this festival season; all overflowing with originality, atmosphere, and edge-of-your-seat delights”.

The Thing is a beloved horror classic, but it wrote and filmed several different endings, all of which miss the point of the film and make it worse.
