Inclubabu Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

Konterr Brilliant and touching

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Scotty Burke It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

sol1218 **SPOILERS** Odd ball urban horror thriller set in Manhattan but filmed Montreal Canada that has these old geezers more or less kidnapping young couples,formerly orphaned and now childless Yuppies, in order to experiment with in what looks like a crude attempt of draining off their youthful vigors and energies. It's after that the oldsters use those youthful attributes to keep themselves young, or at least alive, indefinitely.Tripping up and mugging youthful and athletic Matt Lawrence, Dead Cain, as he's doing his afternoon jog in Central Park the mugger is chased by these old folks who, after not being able to catch up with him offer the battered Matt an apartment in their townhouse on the expensive upper East Side for cheap outer borough, from Manhattan, rents.Moving in with his newlywed wife Jackie, Porita de Rossi, Matt finds that the oldsters are obsessed with young and childless, as well as healthy, couples like him and Jackie. All this doesn't seem to mean that much to him at the time but when the previous couple at the townhouse, also young and childless, suddenly disappear almost without a trace. Matt and Jackie start to get a bit suspicious of just what these old fogies are really up to. It's really Jackie who gets the drop on the strange and eccentric neighbors as she begins to realize that their somehow trying to poison her with this weird concoction of spring water and strawberry syrup, as well as herbal ice tea. Later when she gets pregnant her unborn baby is killed by one of the bunch turning up the heat in the basement sauna, a freebie for living at the townhouse. It's when Jackie with the help of her co-worker Randy, Jonas Chernick,finds out that the neighbor are lying about their age being well into their 100's not their 70's and 80's that she smells a rat. Randy is then run down and killed in a hit and run outside his studio and Jackie finds the car that did Randy in, parked in the basement of her townhouse. She then finally realized that she's living with a bunch of old psycho killers who are eventually going to do in both her and her totally unaware husband Matt.The movie never explains just what these old psycho's are really up to in that we never get just why they go not only for the young and healthy people in their neighborhood but why do they have to have been orphaned to be kidnapped. The young couples being in the pink of health and childless does in some ways makes sense by why do they have to be murdered? You could have grown up with out any parents but have dozens of friends who would miss, if that's the reason for the old folks wanting orphans to experiment on, you just as much and go out looking for you like Matt and Jackie's good friends both Thrish and Allan, Sabrina Grdevich & Jason Blicker, did. Even at the point of risking or even losing, like Trish & Allan did, their lives in doing it!The ending was somewhat of a letdown in that we never really get to find out, we can only speculate, just what the old crowd wanted in people like Matt and Jackie other then drive them out of their skulls and eventually murder them. Were shown that even when this old crew, the townhouse psycho's, are put out of commission theirs alway a new crew ready to step up to the plate and in their shoes and continue their wild and crazy, as well as murderous, experiments.

fuk_yeee I stayed up late one night to watch this movie just because I like Portia De Rossi and found myself pretty interested in it, although quite predictable there are a few chilling twists in this drama and it's worth watching if it is on. It's a decent mystery drama and you should be pleasantly suprised by the sub-par acting by most of the cast. It centres around a couple who move into a new apartment at an extremely cheap price with a bunch of old people, who are obsessed with fitness we find out there obesession is more sinister than we realise and they will do anything to keep their youth even murder?

Zantara Xenophobe *This review has some minor spoilers.I didn't want to watch This movie when I saw it listed. The description wasn't much, and the only stars it mentioned were Portia de Rossi and Dean Cain. I have liked Cain since his `Lois & Clark' days, but he along (I was not too familiar with de Rossi and am now not interested in being familiar with her) wasn't going to get me to see a suspense thriller. I accidentally flipped it to the channel it was playing on during the opening credits and spotted Hal Linden's name. Now that was enough to make me reconsider. But now I wish I hadn't. That's not saying that `The Glow' was a disaster, but it is far from good, unfortunately.Cain and de Rossi play Matt and Jackie Lawrence, a well-off couple looking for a new place to live and hoping to have a baby. You know, it's kind of funny how pregnancy is treated in thrillers like this. People either live like everyone on the planet is sterile and doesn't have to worry about it or they desperately want a baby and can't get pregnant. Anyway, one day, while jogging in a park, Matt is mugged and his wallet and watch are stolen. Some elderly people that happen to be jogging in the same park see the incident and offer Matt their assistance. They take him to their home, a large, fancy apartment complex, where he meets all the residents, consisting of seven elderly people and a young married couple. One of the elderly couples own the building, and they like Matt so much that they offer him a recently vacated apartment for a reasonable price. And so Matt and Jackie move in. It doesn't take either Jackie or the viewer long to realize something is rotten in Denmark. The old people are sneaky, protective of the basement, and all develop a flu-like sickness whenever the seasons change. Most strangely is the way they are all health-conscious, jogging and working out all the time, drinking odd health drinks, and barking at Jackie for not exercising. Then the young couple upstairs disappears, leaving a vague note about how they moved away to the Caribbean. Suspicious (in a sort of stupid manner), Jackie has a friend start researching both the elderly couples and the previous tenants, which, naturally, leads to grim results which I won't reveal (though they are fairly predictable).Perhaps I shouldn't expect a whole lot from a TV thriller, and I really didn't. I do expect a certain degree of logic like I would from any other movie, though. The twists in this movie aren't surprising to the viewer, but I wouldn't expect the characters to figure out what was happening too quickly because it is so ludicrous. I knew what was going on about fifteen minutes into the movie. What I didn't know was how all the sinister deeds were being committed. The movie was going along at a mediocre rating throughout, and the explanation would be what decided it all. I was still waiting for an explanation when the credits rolled. I was pretty annoyed by that, but you'll just have to experience it for yourself to understand. I will say that the unanswered questions (concerning how EVERYTHING was done, who the mysterious female jogger really is, and other dumb things) ruined everything. Craig R. Baxley is no slouch, but I can't figure out why he would spend so much time in the build up of the mystery and quickly wrap up the conclusion in the final ridiculous ten minutes. Worst of all, Hal Linden was misused. After playing such a good villain in `The Colony,' I was disappointed how he and the other elderly people were missing everything in terms of characterization. And then there is the confusing title. If you aren't listening carefully during the final ten minutes, you might miss what it means. Not that it really helps, since the final moments make the whole of `The Glow' pretty dim-witted. Zantara's Score: 4 out of 10.

Big Dave-2 .... Oh Yes!!! Rosemary's Baby!!!!! The plot could also be considered to be The Cocoon-The Dark Side. The reason all this "scaring the tenants" is going on is not very well explained and as a punch line is a bit thin to say the least. But - Hey - Dean Cain is such great eye candy, who needs a plot!!!!!!!!!
