The Glass House
When Ruby and Rhett's parents are killed in a car accident, their carefree teenage lives are suddenly shattered. Moving to an incredible house in Malibu with the Glasses', old friends of the family, seems to be the beginning of a new life for them.
Critics Sentiment
Ruby becomes uncomfortable with Terry's inappropriate sexual attention
Terry and Erin drug Ruby for weeks planning staged overdose
The film drops significantly when Ruby's escape fails and she endures weeks of drugging, representing the story's darkest and most disturbing period.
The Glass House maintains decent entertainment value through its atmospheric setup and Stellan Skarsgård's chilling performance, but suffers from predictability and formulaic thriller conventions. While the initial premise and luxurious Malibu setting create effective tension, the film becomes increasingly conventional as it progresses, though most reviewers found it watchable despite its flaws.
