Anyone who grew up watching Goosebumps or Are You Afraid of the Dark? will remember the eerie hold TV shows can have on you as a kid, but I Saw The TV Glow takes this concept to a whole other level.
In the trailer above for Jane Schoenbrun’s A24 horror, two childhood friends Owen (Justice Smith) and Maddy (Brigette Lundy-Paine) struggle with their shared obsession for a TV show that may be more than just a TV show, The Pink Opaque.
« While it’s likely to be divisive given its esoteric nature, I Saw the TV Glow proves to be an enrapturing experience if you’re on its wavelength, » wrote Siddhant Adlakha in his Sundance review for Mashable. « It’s one of the most overpowering and uniquely despondent works of avant-garde horror to emerge from the American indie scene in several years, making it quite handily the most artistically complete, shatteringly personal movie to play at Sundance this year. »
I Saw the TV Glow is coming soon to theaters.
