GLOWZIES

Cinemavixion Review

Director Hank Braxtan delivers a unique blend of retro sci-fi horror and contemporary social commentary with "Glowzies." The film plunges viewers into a Colorado canyon where an ancient, malevolent extraterrestrial slime awakens, threatening to transform humanity into glowing, goo-spewing zombies. The narrative cleverly pits a group of seasoned veterans against a modern threat, forcing an unlikely alliance with social media influencers. This juxtaposition provides both comedic and dramatic tension, exploring themes of generational conflict and the evolving definition of heroism. Anchored by a cast that includes genre veterans like James Remar and Ron Carlson, "Glowzies" offers a B-movie charm with a surprisingly relevant edge. While the premise leans into creature-feature absurdity, the execution, particularly Braxtan's directorial vision, elevates it beyond a simple monster flick, making it a noteworthy, albeit niche, addition to the horror landscape.
