Reviews
“Augustin Villaronga’s In a Glass Cage is a film that is best experienced alone, I think.” Twitch Film
“Every once in a while a film will come along that deftly mixes horror and art to create something so disturbing that it can never really have the mass appeal of more palatable box office fare from within the genre.” Rock Shock Pop
“There are certain movies that can change you.” Freakin’ Awesome
“Agusti Villaronga’s In a Glass Cage belongs to a tradition of European art films that is as unpleasant as it is (arguably) artistically vital and morally necessary.” DVD Talk
