The Glass House (live action movie), on DVD

The Glass House is a thriller. I'm pretty sure I first saw it not long after it came out, way back in 2001. The characters are nothing special, the story doesn't really do anything unusual, and there are some bits that don't make sense. I still enjoyed it, even on a re-watch.

The story: Ruby Baker and her little brother are taken in by Terry and Erin Glass after their parents are killed in a car accident. Terry and Erin's house is huge, slick, modern, and kind of sterile – not really very kid-friendly. It's a big change, and everyone has to do some adjusting.

There are hints fairly early on that there's something not quite right about the Glass household. Ruby's calls are maybe being monitored, Terry is kind of creepy, and Erin might have a drug addiction. Ruby's brother, appeased by video game consoles, is perfectly happy with his new life, so Ruby does some digging on her own.
