    Abby (Jordan Hinson) and her bother Ethan Snow (Bobby Coleman) are adopted by a husband and wife. The two children are very happy with their new home and parents but Abby becomes concerned when she finds out that her brother Ethan has become mysteriously ill with food poisoning a... read morend soon begins to fear for their life.

    Angie Harmon and Jordan Hinson are very good in the main female roles and the former make for a compelling villain and give an outstanding performance as a rather moody and unstable mother who is an abusive control freak. Joel Gretsch is the doting husband who allows her to get away with murder...literally. There is a bit of suspense and some thrilling moments....worth watching at least once.

    Angie Harmon is one of my faves. She was a bit creepy in this movie, but she played the part well. I liked it anyway.

    I have compared my life to this movie for years. It sticks in your heart and won't let go. That, and you get to see Liam Neeson naked.

Feels like it was cobbled together from stray moments of the original Glass House and just a few random threads stolen from whatever was on The Lifetime Channel at any given moment. Full Review

Angie Harmon is particularly good as the unhinged mama. Full Review
