    A good thriller...fair acting all around, taut plot, but only mildly scary.

    This movie was entertaining. It had enough suspense to keep interest throughout it, it also had good acting and a nice setting. The only down I saw about it was it was a little predictable.

    Psychological thrillers depend on convincing audiences to suspend disbelief, but this one doesn't manage that for a moment.
  2. The Glass House is hardly insane, just absurd, and the only damage it does is to itself.

    If you want to see a great movie about a couple of kids endangered by a sinister guardian, rent "Night of the Hunter." Watching The Glass House has all the elements for a better film, but doesn't trust the audience to keep up with them.
