Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews
ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
Walter Sloane Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
Sarah M. Be warned, the acting in this movie is HORRIBLE. I don't think anyone really wanted to do this film, and I'm wondering what kind of financial trouble C. Thomas Howell is in to have to do this ...He, along with Martin Kove are the only "stars" you'll recognize, the rest of the players are unknowns and are likely to go down in history as the most unemotional "horror" movie actors of all time.Not only were the "special effects" laughable (the ants were made of paper mache' it looked like), but even the DVD effects weren't on par! The ants used as selecting tools weren't lined up properly so on certain options all you got were legs.There are some serious plot malfunctions with "Glass Trap." Let's consider the following: * We don't find out how the ants became mutated until halfway through the film, and then this information comes from a "super secret" federal agency, and yet podunk sheriff is apparently special enough to get the scoop.* There is no mention of how Paolo and Curtis get off the roof.* Where did Uncle Hank's body go? * Why did Carley not call the cops when she first saw the ants? Or even use the phone when she and the security guard were trapped together? These are just some of the MANY indiscretions with this film. Regardless, it still gave me one of the best laughs I've had in a while. Highly recommended for a night in with a big group of friends!
krywolff This movie was so terrible it was amusing. I understand it is just a low budget B movie but I swear there were so many indiscretions that could have been avoided that made it very frustrating to watch.My favorite part was when someone BURNS A CD on $30 DVD player that they pretend is part of a computer. I know, I have the exact DVD model. The characters aren't consistent with their personalities. I enjoy stupid movies, but this one was more than I could handle because it was simply bad. B movies have the excuse of having a low budget, but in this case, I think if they had 20 Million dollars and the same help and talent, they couldn't have done any better because they aren't capable.On a final note, I'm not sure how, but movies from this DEJ company have been on high order at my local Blockbuster. There were a couple actual blockbuster mainstream movies recently, where they don't keep many in stock. Then these "C. Thomas" movies come out and they keep 20 of them in stock. So don't be fooled by the "War of the Worlds" in your movie store right now, it's a B movie, not Tom Cruise.
SirEmu This would be an amazing film in the -50's But nowadays, this is one heck of a bad movie. Like , OK, there are Huge Human eating Ants, and the people in the movie just say, OK, that is a big ant, and they don't get upset as they or I should be if i was in a situation like that. Its like i see a tree that falls down, and i "ooooohhhh" a tree just fell down due to it was old and dead. Emotions in this film is blown away. and when the ""SWAT"" team arrives, a full 4-5 people command line arrives to the place where the ants are bugging people, they simply comes up with the idea to Blow the skyscrape up... Like if 4 people had that power to do so.. Don't go see this movie, unless you are 90+ years of age and haven't seen a film in 50 years.Cheers
jeremydewolfe This slimy creature-feature starts '80s teen hit C. Thomas Howell. Scientists have created genetically altered giant ants in a bizarre experiment which backfires terribly as the creatures go on a kill-crazy rampage. It turns into a world where giant insects run rampant. Survivors barricade themselves in a skyscraper in an attempt to avoid the roaming menace, but even that's no guarantee of safety. Its a little bloody, not gory enough for my taste though. A thoroughly entertaining B-movie; GLASS TRAP was directed by cult horror director Fred Olen Ray who also directed "HOLLYWOOD CHAINSAW HOOKERS" Another one of my favorites.
