this review have some minor spoiler . i do not want to watch this movie when i saw it list . the description wasn not much and and the only star it mention be portia de rossi and dean cain . i have like cain since his ` lois and clark day and but he along ( i be not too familiar with de rossi and be now not interested in be familiar with her ) wasn not go to get me to see a suspense thriller . i accidentally flip it to the channel it be play on during the opening credit and spot hal linden name . now that be enough to make me reconsider . but now i wish i hadn not . that not say that ` the glow be a disaster and but it be far from good and unfortunately . cain and de rossi play matt and jackie lawrence and a well off couple look for a new place to live and hop to have a baby . you know and it kind of funny how pregnancy be treat in thriller like this . people either live like everyone on the planet be sterile and doesn not have to worry about it or they desperately want a baby and can not get pregnant . anyway and one day and while jog in a park and matt be mug and his wallet and watch be steal . some elderly people that happen to be jog in the same park see the incident and offer matt their assistance . they take him to their home and a large and fancy apartment complex and where he meet all the resident and consist of seven elderly people and a young married couple . one of the elderly couple own the building and and they like matt so much that they offer him a recently vacate apartment for a reasonable price . and so matt and jackie move in . it doesn not take either jackie or the viewer long to realize something be rotten in denmark . the old people be sneaky and protective of the basement and and all develop a flu like sickness whenever the season change . most strangely be the way they be all health conscious and jogging and work out all the time and drink odd health drink and and bark at jackie for not exercise . then the young couple upstairs disappears and leave a vague note about how they move away to the caribbean . suspicious ( in a sort of stupid manner ) and jackie have a friend start research both the elderly couple and the previous tenant and which and naturally and lead to grim result which i would not reveal ( though they be fairly predictable ) . perhaps i shouldn not expect a whole lot from a tv thriller and and i really do not . i do expect a certain degree of logic like i would from any other movie and though . the twist in this movie aren not surprising to the viewer and but i wouldn not expect the character to figure out what be happen too quickly because it be so ludicrous . i know what be go on about fifteen minute into the movie . what i do not know be how all the sinister deed be be commit . the movie be go along at a mediocre rating throughout and and the explanation would be what decide it all . i be still wait for an explanation when the credit roll . i be pretty annoy by that and but you will just have to experience it for yourself to understand . i will say that the unanswered question ( concern how everything be do and who the mysterious female jogger really be and and other dumb thing ) ruin everything . craig r. baxley be no slouch and but i can not 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 minute . bad of all and hal linden be misuse . after play such a good villain in ` the colony and i be disappointed how he and the other elderly people be miss everything in term of characterization . and then there be the confusing title . if you aren not listen carefully during the final ten minute and you might miss what it mean . not that it really help and since the final moment make the whole of ` the glow pretty dim witted . zantara score represent 4 out of 10 .
