The premise alone should let you know if this is for you. Are you the kind of person would be amused by a Lovecraftian monster in a rest stop glory hole? Does that appeal to your sensibility?
While clearly low brow, it doesn't cross the line into gross out territory as much as it could have, and stays as classy as a movie that takes place entirely in a bathroom possibly could. While there's little that's expressly funny or scary, there's an intrigue to the somewhat novel concept, keeping you interested in how it will all play out. I'll admit that a good deal of the novelty comes from an appreciation for J. K. Simmons, that dude rules, and even though he's never on screen, I can picture him delivering the lines, and that makes me smile a bit.
Its feel is reminiscent of a horror short made for a show like Cabinet of Curiosities or Tales From the Crypt, and with it's lean runtime, it's not too far off from one of those. It's eye on the prize simplicity delivers the goods before it wears out it's welcome, giving you just what you came for, nothing more, nothing less.

As an avid Lovecraft fan, I kinda knew what I was in for and that it would have some good twists and cosmic lore. I was pleasantly surprised by the layers, actors and the very dark final twist, that gave it a delicious aftertaste. The movie wasn't perfect, but for a low budget cosmic horror movie, it was pretty great. I would have liked the main character to be written a little more cerebral and cool headed, but that's just me.
I think the part that made me cringe the most was all the touching of the toilet in the restroom. It set a pretty disgusting atmosphere, which turns out to be quite appropriate in the end.
Overall, very unique and entertaining.

This movie is the proof that you don't need to make your movie long and time consuming to make it enjoyable and intriguing. This is super gross and disgusting masterpiece. Why gross and disgusting? You'll understand once you've watched it. The movie is very simple, it only involved a few actors and actresses. The locations weren't much either. Just the road and a rest stop. But the plot is intriguing, a concoction of mystery, horror, comedy, drama and fantasy. Ryan Kwanten is really good at acting, no doubt about that. He's good at comedy, drama and horror. And the plot twist at the end really hits the spot as well. At least for me. That's why I had to rate this movie higher than 5. I wanted to give it a 7, but the grossness of it made me lower it to 6. I gotta warn you, if you're going to watch this, make sure you're not eating. Trust me. I'm doing you a HUGE favor here.
Even though Glorious has a very short runtime of only 79 minutes, it feels a bit dragged out. This is the type of movie that work best as a 30 minute short film.
As other reviewers mentioned, this is an original movie. The concept is interesting, there are surprises and a twist i didn't see it coming. Kwanten's acting is wacky and weird, but this is a weird and insane movie and he did what he was supposed to do a character like "Wes". This is not a comedy-horror movie although there are many funny lines and scenes. I liked the comedy element and, generally, this movie kept my interest.
However, it's flawed. Just because it's original, doesn't mean that it's also brilliant. Or even just clever. There are moments that it was getting too weird/bizarre. I love weird/bizarre movies but, in order for a weird movie to be good, writers and directors should handle the subject very carefully and deftly/skilfully. Or else, their movie will look like a parody of what they imagined and try to achieve. There is a line between originality and creativity and this movie didn't cross it.
Too many movies, too little time. There are better movies to watch. However, if you have plenty of time and you love weird and original movies, you will probably like it. It's not a bad /dumb movie and, mainly, it makes sense. There are many movies today that, unfortunately, don't make much sense.
