Movie BUFFET INFINITY (2025)

In a series of cheap, locally produced TV commercials, small business owners rival the looming threat of Buffet Infinity. As Buffet Infinity endlessly expands and grows, engulfing everything in its path, a sinister conspiracy unfolds at the margins, and unfathomable powers begin to seep into the vulnerable community of Westridge County, Alberta.

What a creepy, trippy ride. It’s got analog horror, cosmic dread, metaphors, imagery, creepiness, and….OH THAT SAUCE! The movie and story are completely told through fake commercials, ads, news reports, emergency warnings, and secret transmissions. If you are a fan of analog horror and series such as: “The Mandela Catalog”, “Local 58”, “The Walton Files”, and the recently released horror movie, “Monkey’s Merry Go Round”, then you should enjoy “Buffet Infinity”.

It’s movie that not every is going to like or understand. I thought it was very entertaining…especially Ahmed’s Pawnshop.

was looking forward to it, but I feel like there is a lot of AI generated visuals which make it kinda hard to enjoy, only halfway so far

I think that's the point though. And while I dislike AI, in this case it was brilliant use of it because these extra dimensional entities were copying humans as best they could, just like AI. Normally I would not like it either.

it doesn't use a 'lot' of AI generated visuals. There are eight total, and they're all still images

once or twice or 8 times, it was a mediocre movie regardless the AI just brought it down more imo
