The Glow Synopsis & Summary

Based on the novel by Brooks Stanwood, The Glow stars Dean Cain and Portia de Rossi as Matt and Jackie Lawrence, an affluent yuppie couple with two beautiful children. Rounding out their success story, the Lawrences move into a gorgeous New York apartment, where they soon discover that their neighbors are all elderly -- and all incredibly healthy. It is only after the neighbors make the couple an offer they can't refuse that Jackie realizes the grisly horror awaiting her family in their "dream" home. Not dissimilar to Rosemary's Baby, the made-for-TV The Glow was supposed to have aired during the fall of 2001, but for various reasons (including an unofficial post-9/11 moratorium on suspense films set in New York) the film did not make its Fox Network bow until August 30, 2002. - Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
