"The Glass House"

Leelee Sobieski is at the movies with her friends near the beginning of "The Glass House" (Columbia Pictures, 2001). The theatre is the General Cinema 3-4-5-6-7, a venue later known as Pacific's Sherman Oaks 5. Thanks to Cinema Treasures contributor MrWolf98 for spotting it in the film. 

 

After her parents die in what her character later discovers was an arranged crash, Leelee and her brother go to live with Diane Lane and Stellan Skarsgård in a Malibu house that gives the film its title. Also featured are Bruce Dern, Kathy Baker, Trevor Morgan, Chris Noth and Michael O'Keefe. Daniel Sackheim directed. The cinematography was by Alar Kivilo. 

 

 

 

It's a slasher film called "Prom Nightmare."
