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 movie from an up-and-coming director is outright fun. The jokes are smart, without having to think them through. Don't be put off by the shaky filming at the beginning of the movie, it's because the characters are just recording themselves with their phones. Though I would need to rewatch this movie (which I watched for the first time over a year ago) to give this review more details, I remember laughing out loud while also gripping the edge of my seat from the suspense and plot twists! A must watch mystery flick, even just to admire the cool architecture of the glass casa itself. Congratulations Laa!

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!

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.

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.
