Corn (2026)
Director: Justin Kungl
Cast: Gianluca Zampieri, Derek Stephen Brown, Amanda Steed, Kiyomi Hoover, Joseph Oppong
Did you know? The dinner scene required over 200 ears of corn, but actor John Hawkes actually ate only three—the rest were replaced with wax replicas after he developed a severe allergic reaction to the corn's natural sugars.
Why Watch: Forget everything you know about table manners—"Corn" is a razor-sharp, cringe-inducing horror short that turns a simple dinner party into a masterclass in social anxiety and escalating dread. If you've ever felt the suffocating pressure of fitting in at work, this 9-minute nightmare will have you gripping your seat as one wrong bite unravels a man's entire life. It's the perfect, bite-sized thrill for fans of *The Menu* and anyone who loves a story where the real monster is office politics.
After being promoted, Dennis is invited to his boss’s home for a dinner party—but the celebration takes a dark turn when he commits the unforgivable act of eating corn incorrectly.
