A24 had a very strong year when it came to horror with the smash hit Talk To Me which they acquired at Sundance 2023. The studio will be back in Park City and this time will be presenting I Saw the TV Glow from Jane Schoenbrun. The director returns after their cult hit, We’re All Going To The World’s Fair which also premiered at Sundance 21. Check out a small synopsis for the film I Saw the TV Glow and a small excerpt from Sundance.

“Teenager Owen is just trying to make it through life in the suburbs when his classmate introduces him to a mysterious late-night TV show — a vision of a supernatural world beneath their own. In the pale glow of the television, Owen’s view of reality begins to crack.“
The cast includes JUSTICE SMITH BRIGETTE LUNDY-PAINE IAN FOREMAN HELENA HOWARDFRED DURST DANIELLE DEADWYLER. Check out the Sundance type up for the film:
Writer-director Jane Schoenbrun’s We’re All Going to the World’s Fair (2021 Sundance Film Festival) introduced us to a new genre of their own design: emo horror. Their follow-up feature builds upon that vibe, worming its way into the subconscious with an equally potent autopsy of reality versus fiction. As Owen, Justice Smith exudes a quiet vulnerability, while co-lead Brigette Lundy-Paine displays a confident yet awkward conviction. Schoenbrun has a knack for portraying the trappings of adolescent family life with nuance and a welcome ambiguity, freeing audience members to relate in a way that is best suited to their own experiences. I Saw the TV Glow forces us to consider whether the memories of our youth betrayed us, or if something more sinister is at play.—AM
