Glasshouse

Love, angst, autism, sex; You know, the usual apocalypse stuff. You would think everyone would just be happy to be alive, but it seems everyone involved has a lot to get worked up about.

Loved all the eye candy with that gorgeous Victorian Glass Conservatory. Wow, we just don't make things like we used to. :( Interesting story that I found to be a mix between The Beguiled (Clint Eastwood) and The Walking Dead (minus the huge amounts of gore).

It's scary enough to have to worry about Alzheimer's and dementia, but to imagine a pandemic in which you lose all your memories and sense of self, and all animals and plants dying (and our very important BEES, that allow life to continue on this rock we call home) Especially to watch this during a pandemic, makes it quite a bit more scary, knowing what we now have learned about lies, misinformation and selfishness in the face of mass death world wide.

Worth a watch, especially if you are a fan of The Beguiled and love beautiful Victorian eye candy like me. :D.

I know they tried hard and great stuff and all that for the effort. But really, this was like wading through quicksand. Apparently this was filmed during the pandemic, and I'm not sure if this made a difference - everyone seemed to be sleep walking. Perhaps the entire crew thought they were in the Glasshouse too.

In short, a family is trapped in a Glasshouse after an apocalyptic event, and kill anyone who seeks refuge there. The bodies are germinated and used for their crops. Lots of rituals.

Not sure where the water came from. There are also no animals.

Of course, they're all bonkers, and the arrival of a stranger sets off another sequence of bonkers events, but reaallly slooowly.

There's a greenhouse, an oasis, behind the trees; it's a verdant paradise that has one bee; a cornucopia of pleasure; overflows with fleshy treasure; recycling and reclaiming endlessly.

A variation on a familiar scene, the performances are great but the intent and interpretation, along with some sizable pot holes and inconsistencies leaves it a little underwhelming.

This is a prickly slow burner with a gloomy atmosphere not unlike The Others. It's just incredibly refreshing to watch a film that isn't a reboot or a sequel or an adaptation or a remake. Just a solid original film. Acting is a bit patchy but the way the eerie story unfolds makes it all worth the watch.
