An unsettling, effective journey that blends horror, self-acceptance, and '90s Nickelodeon-style storytelling.
What if the television show that you remember growing up on turned out to be a little more real than you expected? This is the question that filmmaker Jane Schoenbrun presents with their latest horror film, I Saw the TV Glow, which grabs onto a twisted, skin-crawling '90s aesthetic and never lets go.
Those expecting a flat-out horror film from I Saw the TV Glow might find themselves disappointed once the credits roll here, in that the film's commitment to Nickelodeon-style aesthetics, such as The Adventures of Pete And Pete and Are You Afraid of the Dark?, translates to its chills and thrills.
Justice Smith's Owen is the star of the show here in more ways than one, as it is the pinnacle performance for the young actor's resume."I know something is wrong with me," Owen quotes early in the film and he's more than confident that the world at large feels the same way. Becoming hyper-fixated on The Pink Opaque offers Owen an outlet from the hum-drum normality of modern-day suburbia, but in doing so, begins to distort his reality.
Hot off the heels of their freshman production, We're All Going to the World's Fair, Schoenbrun's sophomore film effortlessly captures the constraints of the suburbs, needling in unsettling imagery via mundane trappings such as chalk drawings on the sidewalk, fuzzy television reception, and Mr. Melancholy's lunar-faced henchmen looking to add human hearts to their collection.
