    Underrated Movie

    Unfortunately, The Glass House movie doesnt get the recognition it deserves. It is one of the good thriller movies of 2000s. Stellan Skarsgård was the right amount of creepy. The set was perfect for the movie. The director did an amazing job. It had the right amount of jump scares.
