Buffet Infinity: Simon Glassman’s Canadian Sci-Fi Horror Comedy
Simon Glassman’s Buffet Infinity is a mind-jangling Canadian sci-fi horror comedy that builds its narrative entirely from regional TV ads. It’s clever, bananas and perhaps brilliant, with a style that sustains itself for ninety-three minutes of simulated channel surfing and cosmic capitalistic catastrophe.
Bury the Devil: Atmospheric Chills and Uneven Mythology
Hope Madden reviews Adam O’Brien’s Bury the Devil. A haunted house horror with a great atmosphere and strong central performances. The incomplete mythology holds it back from being truly memorable.
Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma review: Schoenbrun delivers slasher nerd nirvana
Jane Schoenbrun’s Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma is the nerdiest horror film ever made. With Gillian Anderson, Hannah Einbinder, and more slasher trivia than you can shake a split diopter at, this queer horror masterpiece is bloody, beautiful, and utterly compelling.
The Yeti Review: A Practical FX Creature Feature Worth A Look
The Yeti drops a 1947 search party into the Alaska Territory and hands them a practical FX creature feature with a proper cast.

Camp Review: Avalon Fast’s Girl Horror Refuses Every Box
Avalon Fast’s Camp takes the bones of a summer camp horror and grows something stranger from them.

Here is why this coming-of-age horror sits with you long after the final page.
