The Glass House, starring Leelee Sobieski and others, revolves around
a girl (and her brother, I think) being forced to live under the care
of some sort of quasi-father figure who is sinister or evil (or maybe
even misunderstood?). Either the girl's last name or the sinister
father-figure's last name is Glass, which is where the film gets its
title from. The house itself is located on a cliff overlooking the
ocean and is far from the nearest city. It is, unfortunately, not
made of glass, but is very modern in its design, and does feature
large windows in place of walls in some places. I don't really
remember much of it, but it did have the guy who plays Dr. Phlox in it
as a driving instructor. I can't really remember why I ended up
seeing this movie, but I was in middle school, so it probably had
something to do with Leelee Sobieski being hot. Which paid off as
much as could be expected of PG-13 movie, with an extended scene of
her swimming scantily-clad in a pool, then discovering she's being
spied on by the sinister (step?) father guy. I suppose I should
praise the film for its eerie, somewhat tense atmosphere, but not much else. As I recall, it had some fairly predictable twists and was full of very
wooden, standard "thriller" characters. I'm guessing someone fell off
the cliff at the end of the film. I mean, it seems like someone
should've. I can't recommend this movie to anyone really, unless
they're dying to see Leelee Sobieski in a bikini… but then again, this
is the internet, and if that's all you wanna see I can't imagine it's
too hard to find. So yeah, don't bother with this movie.
