    Imperfect But Worth It

    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.

    Nice surprise...

    "Glasshouse" is a Drama - Sci-Fi movie in which we watch a family living in a glasshouse after surviving from the spread of a toxin that erases memory called The Shred.

    I believe that "Glasshouse" was a big surprise for many viewers since they did not expect it to be so interesting and good. Despite that the plot was simple, it contained some plot twists I did not expect and made it even more interesting. The direction which was made by Kelsey Egan was very good and she presented very well both her main characters and the main plot of the movie without leaving anything unexplained or creating any plot holes. The interpretations of Hilton Pelser who played as The Stranger, Adrienne Pearce who played as The Mother and Jessica Alexander who played as Bee were very good and they made the difference. All in all, I have to say that "Glasshouse" is a nice movie and big surprise for me so, I recommend you to give it a try because I believe it worth's watching it.

    The apocalypse will have lots of drama

    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.

    Memory or Imagination

    This is a movie primarily about a small group of people and their interactions and relationships, essentially a psychodrama, with the key contextual element that everyone has some degree of memory loss. Given that, I didn't find it slow or boring, and I thought the execution was fine.

    In a post-apocalpytic setting where there is a toxin in the atmosphere which causes memory loss, there has been a greenhouse which can produce enough oxygen to support at most six people, who belong to what is some combination of cult and family, where the six people with partial memory loss maintain their perceived grasp on reality by assiduously perpetuating an origin story about themselves whose veracity becomes progressively more apparent over the course of the movie.

    Made it 20 minutes in.

    Low budget, ok production values with a plot that a snail could speed past. A dystopian movie that is about endurance for both the characters and the audience. I gladly failed the endurance test.
