Glass Casa

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!

I watched Glass Casa twice now, first at the San Diego film festival and just tonight with my mom and sisters for a girls night. It was such a fun time, the cast had me laughing and feeling like I was hanging out with a real group of besties. I especially loved how they stuck together like glue when scared rather than splitting up. They were not only some of the funniest scenes, but smart, too! And the pace never let up, there was never a dull moment, and you never knew what to expect next. Check this movie out if you want to laugh a lot and maybe scream once or twice too. It won't disappoint!

Glass Casa is a wild ride that will leave you gasping for air with its hilarious absurdity and leave you on the edge of your seat with its unpredictable twists and turns. This thriller-comedy masterfully blends humor and suspense, creating a unique and unforgettable cinematic experience. The dialogue crackles with witty banter and unexpected turns of phrase, while beneath the surface of the humor lies a surprisingly poignant exploration of the human condition. The film boasts a stellar cast, each actor bringing a unique and compelling presence to their role. The backdrop/ architecture of glass casa is stunning.

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.
