Sci-fi horror

Ellie Carter has never met the man who calls himself her husband and can’t remember the life she is told is her own.

Afflicted by violent seizures that reset her memory without warning, she is trapped in a cyclical nightmare, struggling to uncover the horrifying truth of her existence before she forgets it all over again.

Buffet Infinity

Comedy horror

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.

Released on VOD

Exit 8

The rules of his quest are simple: do not overlook anything out of the ordinary.

If you discover an anomaly, turn back immediately. If you don’t, carry on.

Then leave from Exit 8.

But even a single oversight will send him back to the beginning.
