Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

An orphaned teenager is taken in by a Malibu couple but discovers they aren't the caring friends they seemed to be. The Glass House has a fantastic and talented cast, full of suspense thriller moments and some good perfomances, the film's 3rd act does lack in certain areas a bit but it's still a great and well made low budget movie that is better than most thrillers in this day and age. (8/10)

Ruby Baker (Leelee Sobieski) is orphaned when her parents die in a car crash. She and her brother moves in with family friends Terry (Stellan Skarsgård) and Erin Glass (Diane Lane). When she starts wondering about their substantial trust fund, the Glasses turn on them.Leelee Sobieski is too damn calm. That's a big no no in a horror movie if she wants to be the frightened little girl. There is some great potential for super creepiness. Stellan Skarsgård is able to project that creepy old guy. But it never elevates to the level of a scary movie. It ends up being a weak scare and perfunctory action. And the start seems to have been negated by the move. The whole thing seems simplified and shallow.

I couldn't get into this one. The chief reason being the wooden acting done by Leelee Sobieski.I couldn't get to like the expression on her (or expressionless) face and her low mumbling voice. You need to put in at least some character into the part you're playing, but this is high school stage play level of acting. I couldn't feel any life out of her at all. I have other things I'd like to say about her but I wouldn't get into it.With the star so out of it, the story had no chance of survival, and the supporting actor's weren't anything to mention about either. In fact I hated them.Production people of this movie must have been morons, to put together such a lifeless dud.

The Glass House was very popular in Brazil because the major channel loved to show this movie as an horror movie. However, this is my first time seeing it and it's just not what I expected.I believe the villains in this movie were a little too "light"; they could have been much more cruel and mean, it would increase the seek for revenge we wanted to see, and also it could build a scary atmosphere.Ruby Baker is the kind of girl I would never like to date. She's rude, bad humored, antipathetic... I would rather be by myself than going out with her. But hey that's just my opinion! So that's it, this film works as an ordinary one without suspense or horror. But worth a watch anyways!
