Glow Dorris feels like a strange fever dream wrapped in VHS nostalgia. The atmosphere is thick with dread, and you can almost feel Dorris's loneliness ooze from the screen. As she becomes entranced by Liz Love's workout tape, the pacing shifts from a slow burn to a disorienting spiral into madness. The practical effects, while not flashy, effectively heighten the unsettling nature of Dorris's transformation. The performances are a mix of awkwardness and desperation, especially the lead. It's not just about the horror; it plays with themes of obsession and isolation in a way that sticks with you. There's something uniquely unsettling about its low-budget charm, a certain rawness that many others in the genre lack.
