Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

Truly Dreadful Film

Just perfect...

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

I was pretty excited about watching this movie and I wasn't disappointed from it. Sometimes the movie lacked plot explanation, but you can understand everything easily. Another thing that I didn't like was the plot being predictable but it was a nice plot. This movie is for those who like a thriller type of horror movie. Sorry gorefest fans! The cast was decent with good actors, they all contributed positively to the movie and nothing was really cringeworthy, like many movies of this type tend to be.My synopsis: This movie tells the story of a man who got robbed in a park and saved by fit and good looking old people that were jogging around the park. The man then becomes friends with the elders he just met and soon they give him a generous deal and sell him and his wife a gorgeous apartment for a really low price. Soon, all this generousity becomes unsettling and soon the couple realises that they are prisoners in their new home.Final Rating: 6.5/10. If you can overlook the predictability of this movie, you may actually have a good time. Overall, the movie was OK compared to others in the genre, but you really shouldn't expect anything great or mindblowing from this movie. You really should only watch this, if you like this type of movie, otherwise I recommend you to go look for another movie. However, if you like indie horror and B- Movies, this might just be an enjoyable movie for you. I personally enjoyed this movie and I found it above average compared to other TV Movies and B-Movies.

The movie is clearly made for TV quality, i.e. it does not present much of a reason to be watched and leaves some questions unanswered but not the ones about the cigarettes or the glow the other user commented on. If you pay attention to the movie, you will discover that the cigarettes come from a discarded purse found in the trash pile that Jackie Lawrence (Portia de Rossi's character) hid in after escaping what is referred to as "the vault" in the movie and which turns out to be some kind of makeshift lab in the basement. The glow itself, appears to be the energy the building owners need to extend their longevity... Just my $0.02!

This was by no means a great film, but it was better than I expected. I only watched it for the hot Dean Cain and adorable De Rossi, but it had a pretty good story line. It was cheesy, but it kept me enterained and that's the purpose of a movie. If you have a night with nothing to do, I highly recomend The Glow.

I didn't catch the beginning, but seeing the hot Dean Cain sucked me into it. Kinda creapy, very suspenseful, and an all around good tv movie as far as those go. The old people got on my nerves and I would have hurt them, if you see the moive you would understand.
