Amazon.com:
Domestic tensions turn intimately sinister in this pulpy potboiler, which develops a steely sense of menace. The trouble begins when Mr. and Mrs. Glass (Stellan Skarsgård, Diane Lane) are appointed legal guardianship of 16-year-old Ruby (Leelee Sobieski) and her 11-year-old brother (Trevor Morgan) after their parents are killed in a car accident. As trusted former neighbors, the Glasses welcome the orphans into their luxurious Malibu home, but the all-glass structure turns into a gilded cage when Mr. Glass's motivations are revealed to be anything but friendly. With plot-thickening roles for Bruce Dern and Kathy Baker, the film builds considerable suspense before tailspinning into absurdity, and veteran TV director Daniel Sackheim takes full advantage of his prismatic setting and Sobieski's burgeoning sex appeal. The rickety script by Wesley Strick (echoing his rehash of Cape Fear) eventually veers toward self-parody, at which point The Glass House qualifies as a high-gloss slasher pic. --Jeff Shannon

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - More than Half Empty
"Run of the mill" was a term I kept thinking while watching THE GLASS HOUSE. By the time it reaches its CAPE FEAR finale (where the villain appears to survive everything to remain a threat), I'd lost interest in the story--mainly because the characters weren't very interesting to begin with.
Leelee Sobieski is a hot teen girl. She looks great in a bikini, looks great standing around, just looks great. But there's really nothing to her character to distinguish her from any other teenage ... Read More
Rating:  - The Glass House
I did not get the product that was in the ad but the movie is great!
Rating:  - Leelee (primarily) and Skarsgaard make this worth watching at the very least
I must confess, I can't think of too much to say on the topic of The Glass House. It's certainly not a horrible movie; it's a decent film though. The story line was actually fairly decent regardless of how implausible, but I don't usually go to the movies to see reality, I exist in reality and I know what it's like. If I want reality I watch documentaries. Anyway, I have tried to curb my overwhelming bias for Leelee Sobieski in my rating. She's one of the three actresses I simply adore looking at ... Read More
Rating:  - Let's jump off the Sierras
A simple thriller like so many others. A car accident, two orphans sheltered by the parents' business associates who are revealed to have been the killers to put their hands on the money the children represent, and all that for some shady business with criminal contractors. Banal. The elder child, the girl, will try to escape and will fail. And little by little things are going down but all is well that ends well and I can't reveal the details, except that the uncle will get the kids he should have gotten ... Read More
Rating:  - could not watch!
I have been unable to watch this movie because of some zone issue. I am not happy. I have seen this movie before and found it to be very good wanted my friends to see it also but they weren't so lucky.
