Glass Casa

Love a good dark comedy and this one did not disappoint. An engaging murder mystery with a fun cast of characters. Very relatable and thoughtfully curated to create an ensemble where everyone will have a few favorites. The story kept me on the edge of my seat through the end. Just as you expect things to go a certain way you are hit with an unexpected twist. Along with the mystery there were many ridiculous moments that had me laughing. Overall it was a fun movie I enjoyed with my husband. Which says a lot because we don't always agree - this is one of those films that all will have a good time watching.

Fun movie with a playful tone. I thought the lead woman had some nice chops, and the dialogue is sharp and well directed. Story was ultimately a bit meaningless, and lacked a cohesive theme. But there were some interesting psychological undertones, and I was genuinely compelled.

Cinematography is lovely. It looks slick, and the lighting is top notch. Some of the acting crossed the line from campy to cringe. But I believed the chemistry between the characters, and everybody was having so much fun that I went along for the ride anyway.

I'll be interested to see what this director does in the future. She clearly had a lot of fun putting this film together.

A delightfully absurd indie thriller-comedy that leans into clichés with lots of charm. Quirky and entertaining. SoCal vibes galore. Each character brought much color to the movie and the plot was engaging and funny. I was entertained the whole time and the movie went fast even though it's almost 2 hours long. Watch this movie, it's quirky silly fun!

PS: Glass Casa proves that indie films can stand on their own feet. Movie creator Laa Marcus pulled off something pretty magical. I went to the movie premiere and listened to the Q&A afterwards which gave me a deeper appreciation for the passion and talent it took. This movie easily stands with movies with significantly bigger budgets!

Glass Casa puts a modern spin on the classic whodunit, blending dark comedy with sharp wit in a lighthearted way. While it carries the intrigue of a murder mystery, the tone remains playful-perfectly suited even for those who shy away from intense content. Jamie, the lead character, delivers a standout performance, but it's her best friend, Bianca, with her comedic flair, and the enigmatic house guest, Charlie, who steal the show with their charm and humor. The stunning cinematography captures your attention, adding an extra layer of atmosphere to the murder mystery. With clever twists and laugh-out-loud moments, the movie is an ideal choice for a cozy night in, especially during the holiday season. If you love a mix of comedy and suspense, you won't want to miss this masterpiece!

I watched Glass Casa twice now, first at the San Diego film festival and just tonight with my mom and sisters for a girls night. It was such a fun time, the cast had me laughing and feeling like I was hanging out with a real group of besties. I especially loved how they stuck together like glue when scared rather than splitting up. They were not only some of the funniest scenes, but smart, too! And the pace never let up, there was never a dull moment, and you never knew what to expect next. Check this movie out if you want to laugh a lot and maybe scream once or twice too. It won't disappoint!
