7/10
Predictable but entertaining
1 June 2013
This is a fairly predictable but enjoyable thriller about 2 children who lose their parents and are adopted by their old neighbours who aren't all the initially seem. Whilst the plot is predictable there is enough intrigue and tense moments to keep your interest alive to the end.

What really makes the film is the performances of the cast. Leelee Sobieski is excellent as the teenage girl in peril and there is excellent support from Stellan Starsgaard as the creepy neighbour. Bruce Dern also puts in a pleasing cameo appearance.

The Glass House is nothing we haven't seen before a million times but if you are looking for a straightforward thriller to watch then this fits the bill.
