“In a Glass Cage” has to be one of the most disturbing horror films ever made. The film is extremely intense and so incredibly depressing and powerful in its honest depiction of mankind’s failure and instincts towards violence and sadism. The soundtrack is outstanding and the music alone will make the viewer speechless, not to speak the sound of an iron lung.
The acting is excellent, but there are several truly disturbing scenes of pedophilia and child murder. “In a Glass Cage” is a very difficult movie to watch, however you’ll also walk away mesmerized by the disgusting beauty of this film itself. Give this overlooked masterpiece a look.
