All in all, Glass House: The Good Mother was a rather dull film, in spite of the coolest looking house outside of Haunted Hill. Don't get me wrong, it had potential, but week writing and some rather silly acting kept it from getting off of the starter block. == Here there be spoilers == The plot is straight forward. A demented mother and her husband (who acted more like a vampire's thrall) like to adopt children. The problem lies in the fact that the mother (played by Angie Harmon) also likes to make them sick in order to score mommy brownie points. The film picks up between adopted child 4 and the new batch (Abby and Evan). Things go down hill fast, for both the kids and the viewers. There were some truly creepy parts, mostly focusing on Angie Harmon talking to her new pet projects in a simpering tone, or showing up at random behind Abby (something that probably terrified Jack McCoy on Law and Order).

I had a feeling I may not enjoy this film because a lot of straight to DVD sequels are bad.I think I would have enjoyed this movie more if the name "Glass house" was not associated with it.This movie should have only been called "the good mother".It was not a sequel to the first one at all,and had nothing at all to do with a glass house and was like watching a made for TV movie.It had no plot and the story was rushed.The deleted scenes were almost better.They were good and explained more of the story so i don't understand why they were deleted to begin with. Just like the beginning of the story being rushed,the ending sucked as well.It never explained what becomes of the girl and her brother after their rotten experience with the foster parents.Also there was a back story mentioned near the beginning of the movie that was never mentioned or addressed again. The whole movie was very unrealistic and I am angry it was called Glass house 2.I really liked the 1st one because it had a plot,the characters were believable,it had a nice thunderstorm and atmosphere, and it had an acceptable ending.Even if this bad sequel had a small budget,again it should never have been associated with the 1st one period!

Glass House: The Good Mother is about a couple who adopt children and kill them. Harmon does a great job as a Munchausen by Proxy mom that gets her adopted kids sick and then nurses them to death. The husband seems OK, but loves his wife so much he lets her get away with the killings and even helps her at times. Their hands are full when they get a little boy and his teenage sister who are good friends with a cop. They go quickly from an idyllic lifestyle to caged kids as Harmon takes control of every part of the kid's life. Triple locked doors and social workers who couldn't tell their butts from a hole in the ground. Things get worse from there as the young brother gets sick and doesn't get better.

Plot done over and over and over again. This one no different than any other. Evil woman who gets away with murder and empty headed men who go along with the stupidity. Again we're supposed to believe women can be evil and men can be patsies. Brett Merryman wrote this crap and Steve Antin directed not so good actors. Angie Harmon gets boring along the way with this constant evil stare all the time. Joel Gretsch as her doting vacant husband goes around whining all the time. Then there's the children played by Jordan Hinson and Bobby London. London spends most of the time sick in bed and Hinson seems to be running around in circles looking for a way out. But never seems to find the door. Jason London plays a detective without a clue. Of course he gets it from the witch mother. So there you have it. A trite not so original LMN movie with the same theme, the same bitchy women, and the same weak men. Typical LMN crap.

From the first five minutes of this show, the ending was clear. The plot isn't in any way original or inventive. There were no twists to keep the interest of the audience. The pace was slow. There wasn't any rise or fall in the action. Even the high action scenes were painful due to their extreme predictability. The music contributed to the somber, slow tone of it all, and brings Chinese Water Torture to mind. The characterizations were extremely simple. The characters at the beginning didn't change or grow through their experiences. They didn't seem real in any way. The acting wasn't horrible. There just wasn't any fleshing out that could be done with the script or the action. This has to be a writing issue, but shame on Angie Harmon and director Steve Antin for agreeing to be a part of such an awful movie. Still, the real shame has to belong to the writer for this awful script. YUCK! The only positive was the acting of the teenage lead, Jordan Hinson. Her acting (and character) was most believable. Still, one word describes this movie best: tedious. I kept on waiting for it to get better; I waited until the ending credits rolled.

Well, I think it was a pretty good movie. It was done well, and had great acting. The story was very well written, except for the ending. But I think it should have been called "The good mother" and not "Glass house 2: The good mother". It's not about the same people, and has NOTHING to do with Glass House. Some parts of this movie weren't explained well. In the "deleted scenes" section of the DVD it says Abby and Ethan's parents were shot while some one robbed them. I think it wasn't a very good idea doing that because while I was watching it, all I could of was "How did their parents die?". The other thing I would like to know is what happened to Abby, Ethan, and the police man? Did he adopt them? What happened? That's what I would like to know. All in all, this is a good movie. I recommend it to a lot of people who like these kinds of movies!

Despite Angie Harmon's decent performance as a mother who suffers from Munchausen syndrome by proxy -- in the extreme -- there is no reason to waste two hours of your life watching this absurd movie. Ms. Harmon's skillful interpretation of a demented, murderous psychopath cannot offset a ridiculous script. The plot involves a wealthy couple who adopt two children, a little boy and a teenage girl. They are occupants of a Gothic mansion in an undisclosed location. Almost immediately, the teenager suspects something is amiss with this couple, but unlike most teenagers who manage to get out of the house when they want to, this one is somehow unable to do so, even to get help to save her life and that of her little brother. The fact that this is a low-budget effort becomes evident when, although the couple live in a huge house with presumably quite a bit of property, no household or grounds help or service providers ever make an appearance. Nor do any relatives, friends, neighbors or business associates show up. The children do not go to school, so no classmates, teachers, school administrators or social workers come poking around. The sole outside person is a police officer who is clueless as to the situation in which the children have been placed. Apparently no background checks were done or it would have been revealed that not only did the couple's little son die, but they also adopted another little boy whose whereabouts are unknown. This information should have given someone pause before providing these lunatics with additional children to dispose of. We're not told how the couple manages to afford such a grand home, although mom is supposedly a nurse, which makes it convenient for her to make her children very ill so she can nurse them back to health -- before she repeats the cycle. As the improbable story drags on, it focuses on mom's jealousy of the teenager and her vicious treatment of her. Although the teen attempts to contact the outside world regarding her plight, she has to be the only teen on the planet who cannot manage to get out a phone call, text message or email. The husband is a complete wimp under the spell of his deranged wife, powerless to stop her as she continues her vendetta against the young girl and repeatedly makes the little boy extremely ill. Ultimately, a light bulb goes off over the police officer's head, and he calls for help, which arrives only after he is attacked and the woman and girl battle it out. The battle culminates when, after being terrorized by Ms. Harmon's character, our teen girl merely pushes her down the stairs. But, still, the mother-of-the-year does not die until -- surprise -- father-of-the-year puts a bullet in her. To her credit, Jordan Hinson, who plays the teen, did not do an eye roll when the whole mess ended.

The premise, an insane uber-mother doles out practiced physical abuse, is a fairly sound launching point for this suspense thriller. The story is well-structured and the dialog is better than its B-movie status. The principle cast does what they can with what they're given and the cinematography & lighting are top-notch. However, the direction and editing are horrible. The director has no sense of mise-en-scene; every shot is crowded. The camera is ever-moving with "look at me, I went to film school" joy. The editing was overly busy. Every single transition was hallmarked with an establishing shot of the house's exterior. Had the camera settled down, and the story (not editing) carried the pace this would've been a much better film. Jordan Hinson, a young actress, holds the film's center very well. Bottomline: Not worth watching.
