The Glass House (2001)



Hey readers,

I am back after quite some time. I can't stay calm for long without posting a movie recommendation. Anyways, today I present a Thriller/Mystery movie...The Glass House. You probably must be thinking this movie is about a creepy, haunted house made up of glass. Well if you think so, you are only partially correct. The name of the movie actually comes from the Glasses, a strange middle aged couple who live in a glass mansion in the posh area of Malibu. The reviews of this movie are not pleasing, but my views differ from the critics. I enjoyed this movie and felt it had the characteristics of a true thriller. There are though, some loopholes which have not been closed, making the story a bit loose.

I am feeling compelled to summarize the plot. It starts with a killing scene of a Jason movie Ruby, the main protagonist and her friends are watching. Ruby is introduced as a fun-loving girl who loves to bunk her study sessions for a day out with her gal friends. She returns home one day to find a bunch of police cars greeting her. She enters her house thinking that her parents had called the police looking for her. The truth is more gruesome...her parents had died in an accident, and the police were home investigating. After minutes of mourning, Ruby and her kid brother, Rhett are sent over to their new guardian's house, The Glasses. Their wonder and awe from seeing the house they are going to live in is a bit short-lived after the kids find out that they have to share a room together. Strange occurrences follow and Ruby suspects her creepy foster parents of many things. What follows is a thrilling ride of the survival and escape of Ruby and Rhett from the Glass House.



This movie is perfect for people who love thrilling movies about mysterious people with malicious motives. Besides a few loopholes, the movie is a entertaining watch. Overall I would give this movie a 7/10.
