    Intriguing thriller!

    Please ignore the bad comments.

    THE GLASS HOUSE is an interesting thriller that answers the question: 'What would you do if the only people you could turn to were the enemies?". The cast is great, the direction and design are beautiful, and the music score is very creepy.

    It's a very good movie that has wrongfully received poor reviews. Of course it's predictable, but it's really, really enjoyable!
