Very Cool!!!
best movie i've ever seen.
It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.
One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
All in all, Glass House: The Good Mother was a rather dull film, in spite of the coolest looking house outside of Haunted Hill. Don't get me wrong, it had potential, but week writing and some rather silly acting kept it from getting off of the starter block.== Here there be spoilers == The plot is straight forward. A demented mother and her husband (who acted more like a vampire's thrall) like to adopt children. The problem lies in the fact that the mother (played by Angie Harmon) also likes to make them sick in order to score mommy brownie points. The film picks up between adopted child 4 and the new batch (Abby and Evan). Things go down hill fast, for both the kids and the viewers. There were some truly creepy parts, mostly focusing on Angie Harmon talking to her new pet projects in a simpering tone, or showing up at random behind Abby (something that probably terrified Jack McCoy on Law and Order).
I rent a lot of movies. I find some unexpected gems, a lot that get categorized as idle entertainment, and some that make me curse myself for renting movies in the first place. This movie solidly fits into the idle entertainment category, as I could see the end result taking shape way too early in the viewing process. Without giving away anything, the one thing that stands out in this movie is the acting of Jordan Hinson. She was cast as what she is...a teenager. But throughout the entire movie, she goes above and beyond what (I would think) would normally be expected, and delivers an outstanding performance. I think she was the true star of the movie, though you have to look at the fine print on the back of the DVD to find her name. If you want to see a diamond in the rough, look here. She makes the movie worth viewing.
Glass House: The Good Mother is about a couple who adopt children and kill them. Harmon does a great job as a Munchausen by Proxy mom that gets her adopted kids sick and then nurses them to death. The husband seems OK, but loves his wife so much he lets her get away with the killings and even helps her at times. Their hands are full when they get a little boy and his teenage sister who are good friends with a cop. They go quickly from an idyllic lifestyle to caged kids as Harmon takes control of every part of the kid's life. Triple locked doors and social workers who couldn't tell their butts from a hole in the ground. Things get worse from there as the young brother gets sick and doesn't get better.
I love this movie i give it a nine it was so surprising how the foster mother turned so mean she was what u call a perfectionist this is one of my favorite movies you will not believe what happens to Abby when her foster mother tells her to just wash the dishes when me and my friend watch this we were so surprised how evil she was but if you enjoy this movie you will probably enjoy the first movie made before this one it's kinda the same as this one but the dad is more evil then the mom to whoever watches this movie i really hope you liked it as much i did but you will probably like this movie if u like a thriller and you will probed not like this movie if you don't like the site of blood
