Glasshouse

"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.

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.

I know they tried hard and great stuff and all that for the effort. But really, this was like wading through quicksand. Apparently this was filmed during the pandemic, and I'm not sure if this made a difference - everyone seemed to be sleep walking. Perhaps the entire crew thought they were in the Glasshouse too.

In short, a family is trapped in a Glasshouse after an apocalyptic event, and kill anyone who seeks refuge there. The bodies are germinated and used for their crops. Lots of rituals.

Not sure where the water came from. There are also no animals.

Of course, they're all bonkers, and the arrival of a stranger sets off another sequence of bonkers events, but reaallly slooowly.

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.

Loved all the eye candy with that gorgeous Victorian Glass Conservatory. Wow, we just don't make things like we used to. :( Interesting story that I found to be a mix between The Beguiled (Clint Eastwood) and The Walking Dead (minus the huge amounts of gore).

It's scary enough to have to worry about Alzheimer's and dementia, but to imagine a pandemic in which you lose all your memories and sense of self, and all animals and plants dying (and our very important BEES, that allow life to continue on this rock we call home) Especially to watch this during a pandemic, makes it quite a bit more scary, knowing what we now have learned about lies, misinformation and selfishness in the face of mass death world wide.

Worth a watch, especially if you are a fan of The Beguiled and love beautiful Victorian eye candy like me. :D.
