Top CriticWesley Strick, the screenwriter, is my hero. I admire anyone who's figured out how to do as little work as he does and still make a good living.

Top CriticOne look at Terry and Erin's home, and you can sense director Daniel Sackheim gearing up for a tsunami of hogwash.

Top CriticWe're left with a cat-and-mouse game between girl and murderous faux-dad that's simply boilerplate.

Top CriticThe film has two consistent attributes: stupidity and predictability.
09/20/01
Top CriticJust another thriller that feels mass-produced.
09/17/01
Top CriticA thriller that does not mean to be comical but that inspires more howls of laughter than shivers of dread.
09/17/01
Top CriticThere's nothing in genredom quite so unhinged as the badly made psycho-thriller, and long before it's over, The Glass House collapses from wretched design and execution.
09/14/01
Top CriticHollywood delivers new junk every week, but this is junk with a vindictive, sadistic edge.
09/14/01
Top CriticUnfolds as a quasigeneric chiller that degenerates into hokum.
09/14/01
Top CriticJust about everything a psychological thriller might want except a credible character, a believable motive and a scintilla of thrills.
09/14/01
Top CriticThe events unfold as a series of ominous portents, real and false alarms, and music stingers on the soundtrack.
09/14/01
Top CriticLike Ruby, The Glass House is in conflict with itself. It's confused about what kind of film it wants to be.
09/13/01
Top CriticThere's no tippy-toeing in The Glass House, but you will still find yourself holding your breath.
09/13/01
Top CriticSo laughably awful that it begs to have stones thrown at it; it's a wonder it got made at all.
09/13/01
Top CriticA stinky wedge of domestic thriller cheese.
