Reviews

Washington Post -
It is surprising that no matter how much we know what will happen, we never stop watching.

|
New Times (L.A.) -
While the specifics of the plot are often as fragile as an actual glass house, those looking for a good night of disposable entertainment will find it here.
|
|
Seattle Post-Intelligencer -
Has a good cast, a nicely sustained mood of paranoia and several genuinely creepy moments, but ultimately ends up being one more highly formulaic teen screamer.
|
|
Entertainment Weekly -
As the supporting cast gets winnowed away, though, we're left with a cat-and-mouse game between girl and murderous faux-dad that's simply boilerplate.

Chicago Sun-Times -
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.
