Much of its story is as transparent as the titular location. However, fans of The Glass House can agree this inflated teen-mystery has a confounding lived-in quality that keeps them coming back for more.

The Glasses live in a glass house - get it? Hey, I warned you: Subtle, this movie ain't.

There are only a couple of intriguing moments before this long-winded film reaches its inevitable, dull conclusion.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 16, 2019

Has so much potential and structure to become an excellent thriller yet it doesn't deliver.

...the screenplay...doesn't contain an ounce of subtlety or even intelligence.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Aug 1, 2003

All told, Ruby is responsible for more deaths than the villain. What a spunky little heroine.

the suspense genre has all but ceased to be suspenseful . . . it's business as usual, and the blades in the cookie cutter are getting dull.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 19, 2003

With debut director Sackheim struggling to infuse the pedestrian plot with any sense of vigour, 'The Glass House' is rendered less memorable with every passing minute.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Dec 8, 2002

Creepy psychothriller features great performances, twisty plot and superbly crafted moments of tension.

It takes its place in the fiery depths of movie hell, where even there it seems too stupid to fit in.

begins as a fairly intriguing study of alienation, only to end up as a far-fetched "let's get outta here!" thriller. ... Ruby proves to be so adept at last-minute disappearances, you'd think her grandfather was Houdini.

The Glass House es una cinta de suspenso que conjunta un buen elenco, pero por desgracia el guin cae en lo ilgico en varias ocasiones.

Full Review | Original Score: 6.5/10 | Jun 8, 2002

Starts with unfulfilled promise, builds towards a laughable tedium, and ultimately shoots itself in the foot with its repulsive conclusion.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Feb 26, 2002

Hamlet, and some good acting, keep the film from being a stinker, but it never rises above mediocrity.
