These days it is a widespread malpractice by filmmakers to make low budget movies and sell those as horror/mystery. This movie is a drama at best. Although the acting seems okay, you can't be certain due to the lack of dialogues. Also these poor guys did not have an editor it appears. In the hands of a competent editor, this movie would not have lasted beyond 30 minutes. Rather unimaginatively titled, this movie is predictable from the first meaningful moment in the movie, which comes after almost 30-40 minutes of frustratingly meaningless scenes. There is not much story to tell, hardly any action to describe. Unnecessary and embarrassing nudity does not help at all. The art of horror movie making is dead in the western world. The only breathe of fresh air comes from the Asian movie industry. Verdict: The story may be interesting to a few. But at the end , after spending close to 100 minutes watching this movie, you feel cheated and frustrated. Avoidable.

You like garbage!! This movie is for you. You like cowardly, moronic, whimpering, pathetic characters!! This movie is for you. You like something to watch while you are high and passed out!!! This movie is for you. You like to be force-fed on nonsensical ideas generated by delusional "artists", obviously suffering from mental illness!! This movie is for you. The easy availability of technology, money and the political correctness of forced appreciation of delusions and failures, have resulted in the so called "abstract art" that is an insult to human intelligence. Somebody's botched attempt at drawing a circle is called modern art and is being hailed as full of meaning. Why the movie is called "I saw the TV glow"? I don't know. What is the point of this acidic, abrasive vomit? I don't know. Verdict: Pathetic. A shame on the evolution that has certainly failed some human shaped apes. Damn your political correctness. Some art should remain strictly confined to the walls of a mental ward.

The author gives too much importance to details that have little to do with the central plot. Too much backstories, too many dreams, too many nightmares, too much talking with self. These add pages to the book and severely affects the flow of the story. You skip to the end of a section and realize that nothing of importance has happened. More than 1/3rd of the book is skippable. The author showed signs of the said issues in "The Troop", but those were few and far between. In this book however every third or so section is about stuff you should not care about. Now the theme of the book is a horror-science fiction mix, like "The Troop", a mad scientist poking at things beyond his comprehension. This book is interesting because of the set up. But it becomes very hard to read through due to the aforementioned reasons. I have read somewhere that the author is a fan of Stephen King. But I have never felt bored while reading anything written by Stephen King, when he was in his prime.

These days it seems fashionable to call everything with a hint of uneasiness as horror. There is not one scene in this movie that is scary. There is not one dialogue in this movie that will make you shudder. Ironically there is no story in this movie, while 4-5 stories run in parallel. It just feels like a collection of shorts. And as usual the protagonists are stupid just waiting to die. Not one character gets a decent development. You don't feel for one single character. I was just skipping through and waiting the protagonists to die so that I can have the satisfaction of finishing another movie. In recent times the "England" side of the movie makers have been the worst culprit in dishing out garbage masquerading as horror. Don't waste your time on this movie if you have decent taste in movies.

A very badly made movie. The blame squarely rests on the director and the script. There are so many good actors but none is given their due space to excel. None of the characters are well-developed. The script feels rushed. The music is pedestrian. Things just happen randomly so that the script can move forward. The biggest sin of this movie is that the chief protagonist of the movie i.e. the character of Sanjay Dutt, is the least developed and has less screen presence than Vivek's and Arshad's.

What is the point of this movie? What is there so enjoyable listening to a serial killer? The movie in itself is slow, full of excessive amount of dialogues. There is nothing much to see, nothing much to see or contemplate over. However this movie is about everything that is wrong with the western society. They glorify killers. The victims are just numbers while the killers get opeds, novels and movie scripts written about them. Everything is a condition. Everything is a disease or disorder. Nobody is responsible. Everybody is a victim. No surprise, this amount of attention has given birth to the so called "serial killers" who hunt the weak. Sick of a society that is. Very sick.

Anybody planning to watch the movie, read the plot in Wikipedia first. It is better that way because you can save 110 minutes of your short life doing more important/entertaining things like wiping the floor of your house or cleaning your closet. They can use this torment of a movie as a torture tactic. And please someone stop this creature called Robbie Banfitch from making any more movie. Otherwise, AI apocalypse will happen sooner. Edit: I saw some "five star" reviews by star-struck reviewers opining that this movie needs attention, re-watch, research, deep thinking etc. and dishing the intelligence of the common audience. The audience watches a movie for entertainment purpose and to forget their worries, not to worry about some third rate badly made skit by delusional "artists" . There are better things to research about in real life than about some drug induces thoughts masquerading as scripts. Not everyone has free time to argue over fan theories in Youtube comment section, if you know what I am talking about. I appreciate the efforts put by some people into finding meaning in everything, but the common audience is very much unlike you.
