The Glass House Reviews
| Original Score: 1/5 | Dec 30, 2006
Despite a great cast and glossy direction, it's as empty, transparent, and characterless as the titular abode.

Wesley Strick, the screenwriter, is my hero. I admire anyone who's figured out how to do as little work as he does and still make a good living.

One look at Terry and Erin's home, and you can sense director Daniel Sackheim gearing up for a tsunami of hogwash.

We're left with a cat-and-mouse game between girl and murderous faux-dad that's simply boilerplate.
| Original Score: C+ | Sep 20, 2001
Just another thriller that feels mass-produced.
Full Review | Original Score: 0/4 | Sep 17, 2001
A thriller that does not mean to be comical but that inspires more howls of laughter than shivers of dread.

Is Terry reaching for her vagina or was he really trying to fasten her seatbelt?
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 14, 2001
There's nothing in genredom quite so unhinged as the badly made psycho-thriller, and long before it's over, The Glass House collapses from wretched design and execution.
Full Review | Sep 14, 2001
The sort of thriller in which you can immediately tell, at any character's appearance, whether he'll live to see the final credits.

Hollywood delivers new junk every week, but this is junk with a vindictive, sadistic edge.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Sep 14, 2001
Unfolds as a quasigeneric chiller that degenerates into hokum.
Full Review | Sep 14, 2001
Just about everything a psychological thriller might want except a credible character, a believable motive and a scintilla of thrills.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Sep 14, 2001
The events unfold as a series of ominous portents, real and false alarms, and music stingers on the soundtrack.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 14, 2001
Like Ruby, The Glass House is in conflict with itself. It's confused about what kind of film it wants to be.

There's no tippy-toeing in The Glass House, but you will still find yourself holding your breath.
| Sep 13, 2001
So laughably awful that it begs to have stones thrown at it; it's a wonder it got made at all.
| Original Score: 0.5/5 | Sep 13, 2001
A workmanlike thriller that works.
