I Saw The TV Glow

Two teenagers’ obsessive bond over an enigmatic TV show spirals into a disturbing, febrile nightmare.

Classmates Owen and Mandy form a close bond over their shared obsession for a late-night TV show, The Pink Opaque. But this strange, alluring show becomes increasingly dark and soon encroaches on their waking life, sparking discordance and tragedy in deeply unnerving ways. As the edges of fiction and reality dissolve, Mandy descends into hallucinatory zones, experiencing visions and eerie phenomena that mirror the show’s sinister and prophetic broadcasts.

The film plunges us into a nightmarish world anchored on the disorienting power of media. It turns the mundanity of media consumption into a disquieting act that warps our sense of reality and sends us into the darkest corners of our psyche.
