Glass Casa

I wasn't expecting it to be this good!

I dare you to predict the ending of this movie. Good luck!

The brilliance here is that it takes the murder genre and kinda twists it. Everything feels so common and so familiar, but then it all goes wrong.

Very funny ("Did they really just say that?!") dialogue, and you think you know what's going to happen, but there are a ton surprises along the way.

The writing was fresh and interesting...it sort of creates its own world that takes you on a journey that you didn't see coming.

I really enjoyed it and I can't wait to see what kind of insane films this team creates next. Highly recommended.

This work is a perfect blend of laugh-out-loud humor and gripping suspense, a challenging combination executed brilliantly. The script is exceptionally well-written, featuring sharp, witty dialogue that brings the characters to life while keeping the humor fresh and natural. The pacing is great too, seamlessly transitioning between comedic moments and edge-of-your-seat tension. Each scene feels purposeful, with clever twists and turns that keep you guessing until the very end. The humor lightens the mood without diminishing the stakes, and the suspense heightens the impact of every joke. A smart, engaging treat that's both entertaining and memorable!

GLASS CASA (2023), written and directed by Laa Marcus, is a darkly comedic bachellorette party "gone wrong" thriller that echoes the chaotic energy of the bachelor party "gone wrong" film, VERY BAD THINGS. The film is anchored by a talented ensemble cast, including a stand out performance by Harley Bronwyn as the intense yet charismatic bride to be, as well as strong performances by Geri Courtney-Austein as the bubbly paranoid Evie, Nicole Clifford as the sharp-witted schemer, Alison Iles as the conflicted voice of reason, and Justin Michael Terry as their goofy wise cracking guy pal Charlie. Not to mention, a strong supporting cast of eccentric characters including Jon Huybrecht, Travis Laughlin, Xyla Glass, Julie Marcus, Anthony De Cruz, and Lizet Benrey. With its sharp script, moral diemas, and unpredictable twists, GLASS CASA offers a thrilling, suspense-filled whodunnit that will keep you hooked from start to finish.

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!

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.
