I Saw the TV Glow
In late-90s suburbia, a lonely teenager meets a girl at school who introduces him to a mysterious late-night T.V. show — a vision of a supernatural world pulsing beneath their own. As time goes on, however, questions begin to arise about why the show sometimes seems more real than their own lives. In the pale glow of the television, their view of reality begins to crack.
Supernatural TV-show premise invading reality and threatening the teen's sense of self anchors the film's core experience; while there is drama/coming-of-age, fear and horror mechanisms are central to the viewing intent.
Best for viewers looking for a scary, atmosphere-heavy, psychological, slow-burning and low-gore horror movie.
