Quotes:
[Ruby Baker is nervous about her first day at a new school]
Dr. Erin Madre-Glass: You shouldn't be nervous, Ruby. You're a great kid.
Ruby Baker: It's not about being great. It's about being...
Dr. Erin Madre-Glass: New?
Ruby Baker: 'Middle-of-the-year' new.
Dr. Erin Madre-Glass: Well, there's a little saying that we teach the patients in the pain ward: 'This too shall pass'.
Ruby Baker: [repeating to herself] This too shall pass, this too shall pass.

A creepy guardian who (1). Listens in to your phone conversations (2). Seems to have carnal designs on you (3). Makes you room with your nine-year-old brother (4). Did I mention, may have killed your parents?
If this seems like what in your mind is the ultimate Bad Guy, "The Glass House" is for you. Obviously, the movie was written for the 12-20 female audience. I was rather reminded of "Dead of Winter", a similar but better film, in that the house was one of the main characters.
Oh, yes, Leelee takes a 3 AM swim in a skimpy bikini. Nice of the writer to remember us guys.
