i enjoyed this movie.it has suspense drama and some action.without revealing too much,the basic premise is that due to a family tragedy teen aged Ruby Baker(Leelee Sobieski) and her younger brother Rhett(Trevor Morgan) end up in the guardianship of Terry and Ellen Glass(Stellan Skarsgard and Diane Lane)wealthy,old family friends,.unfortunately for them things are not as they appear.what follows is just over 100 minutes of tension and suspense along with a few action sequences.while this movie doesn't have the same kind of adrenaline rush as "Joy Ride"which also starred Leelee Sobieski,it does have it's moments.but this movie is more of a gradual(but not too gradual")tension and suspense builder.there are also some surprising and maybe not so surprising revelations.the movie takes some interesting twists and is is not always predictable.i also felt that the quieter,more dramatic moments were done well. i thought the characters were interesting and the acting was good. you can real feel the fear and sense of jeopardy Ruby and Rhett have.the movie may not have been completely realistic,but then, how exciting would that have been?i'm guessing not very.for me "The Glass House" is a 4/5
