The film has an OK cast and a story that we have seen before but thanks to some good performances this TV movie actually does bring something to it and as you can see the IMDb rating isn't that bad it's not perfect but at least it's not a 3.2 kind of a movie but here is where the film looses it during the 3rd act we learn that all this old people are some kind of 'vampires' they take the blood from the young people that live in their house and they use it in order to stay young or something like that if this isn't the dumbest thing ever then i don't know what it is. The Glow has some potential and it shows it but in the end it turns out to be sloppy and out of ideas thanks to a very dumb ending which totally disappointed me.

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!

.... 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!!!!!!!!!

SPOILERS!! This is without a doubt one the funniest thrillers I've ever seen on television. The basic premise is this... each person has something called a Glow (sort of like a soul) that keeps them youthful and energetic and as we age, we lose that Glow. So how do the villains of the story (cliched old men and women) retain that Glow? They steal them from their youthful neighbors, HA-HA-HA-HA, and them dump their wasted bodies into the basement dumpster. The directing was pretty good actually considering how incredibly horrible the script was. The acting was equally atrocious. Every sort of cliche you can think of (dump cops, clueless neighbors, silly contrivances of the story) can be found in here. It's amazing, LOL.This movie is about as ridiculous and ludicrous as its horrible ending where the nosy cop bites the big one but luckily for the female protagonist who needed a weapon, the body was buried with his gun together.1/10
