Story: Glass Casa starts when four friends, Maria (Benrey), Jamie (Bronwyn), Bianca (Clifford), and Evie (Courtney-Austein), come together for a bachelorette party.

Verdict on Glass Casa
Recap
The movie follows four friends who come together for a bachelorette party. However, their partying weekend turns into a nightmare when a surprise guest ends up dead. This forces them to face their home truths to understand what has been happening.
Best Parts
The movie uses the location to create the mystery and the chaotic situation. We get strong bonds between the four women too, which holds everything together.
Worst Parts
The story goes in the similar direction to Bodies Bodies Bodies, which I hated. It puts the four in a crazy situation where paranoia takes over and drugs lead to more paranoia. This more or less frustrates with decisions being made and relies more on the maybe something bigger going on.
Final Thoughts – Glass Casa struggles to give us an interesting enough mystery.
