I Saw the TV Glow: A Supernatural Journey
I Saw the TV Glow, directed by Jane Schoenbrun, introduces us to Owen (played by Justice Smith), a teenager encountering a mysterious late-night TV show through his classmate. This eerie show reveals a supernatural world beneath their reality, causing Owen’s perception of life to unravel.
The film’s world-building is particularly impressive with Schoenbrun’s universe showcasing supernatural elements in backrooms, liminal spaces, and mind-altering nostalgia, creating an atmosphere that keeps viewers on edge.
I SAW THE TV GLOW might seem like a horror movie due to its constant tension, yet it doesn’t strictly fit into that genre. The world-building is impressive and intentional; Schoenbrun’s universe features the supernatural aspects in backrooms, liminal spaces, and mind-altering nostalgia.
The cast also includes Brigette Lundy-Paine, Ian Foreman, Helena Howard with Fred Durst and Danielle Deadwyler. Produced by Emma Stone, Dave McCary, Ali Herting, Sam Intili, and Sarah Winshall.
Keep an eye out for I Saw the TV Glow available for streaming from Friday, September 20, and watch its linear debut on Saturday, September 21, at 11:30 p.m. ET/PT on HBO.
