From the studio that brought usTalk to MeandHereditarycomes a new horror movie I Saw the TV Glow, and judging by the first trailer, it looks just as chilling as you’d expect.
In the trailer, we see a bunch of young people rediscover a long-lost canceled TV show, where each episode introduces a new monster to defeat. It soon becomes apparent that this is more than just a show and that what is being shown on screen is bleeding into real life.
At first glance, the film looks to be a modern-day take on the 1982 movie Poltergeist, which famously follows the horrors that come out of a possessed television set. But other than the aspect of haunted technology, I Saw the TV Glow reminds us of Netflix’sFear Streetas it mixes classic horror elements with themes of sexuality, gender, and identity.
I Saw the TV Glow starsDungeons & Dragons: Honour Among Thieves’ Justice Smith, Atypical’s Brigette Lundy-Paine, Ian Foreman, Helena Howard, and Danielle Deadwyler. The movie also hosts a few guest stars from popular musicians such as Caroline Polachek, Phoebe Bridgers, and Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst.
