Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews

Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Portia Hilton Blistering performances.

Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

eah51 I'm a fan of monster movies, and sci-fi in general. That being said, the only reason to see this movie is Siri Baruc. She is easy on the eyes and brings some energy to her part. She does the best she can with such a lousy script. Stella Stevens steals every scene she is in, thanks to her own initiative I'm sure. She should work more often. I give C. Thomas Howell an OK as the heroic male lead with the troubled past.The rest of the cast are more like generic stereotypes of characters, than actual people. Some of them have laughable moments, but you are never sure if the humor is intentional or due to ineptness on part of the production team.It's a toss-up as to which is worse, the script or the direction. The props and effects aren't very realistic, which is OK as I wasn't expecting much from them given all the other issues with this film.I got the feeling that they didn't even have permission to be in this building and just found one that was unlocked on some holiday weekend when most everyone was out of town.The whole "photo shoot" subplot felt like footage from a different movie, and could have been until a few scenes near the end. All the other scenes could've been filmed at any shopping center in the US or Canada.FYI: For those of you with a high heel fetish, you'll like this movie for the numerous close ups of women's high heels and several references to them during the movie. Siri and Stella at their best.I could break down individual scenes and what was wrong with them, but I just don't have the strength.I feel embarrassed to know this much about this movie. If I wasn't a fan of Siri's work, I'm sure that one viewing would've been enough.Watch it if you like campy sci-fi and cheesy monster movies, as I do. Skip this movie if you are a realist, have a strong attention to detail or get annoyed easily.

micahmatt I viewed this film and was shocked by how utterly horrible it was. I knew it was a B movie, but this was below even that. The special effects were terrible.The DVD jacket looked really good. It looked professional. That was the first impression that this film was worth seeing. Don't let the jacket fool you. This film isn't even worth picking up.The movie started out the way every B movie would, but I had good expectations for this film. The story was good at first, showing a plantation owner looking for his workers. The film got even better, when they showed a gory picked-to-the-bone skeleton. I thought, "this is going to be good!" But my anticipation shrank when the first shot of the menacing critters flashed to my television screen. The large ants were very obviously plastic, and were being controlled by a human arm. I expected some CG effects to be completely honest. The movement of the ants reminded me immediately of Kermit the Frog. The gore was poor in quality. Usually, in a horror flick, you expect to see a good amount of blood, but in this film there were splatters. They were quite small and weren't very convincing. And the gory bodies left around from the ants were the same prop, used in different scenes. It became quite repetitive very quickly.The acting was poor. It seemed the actors were hired off the street. But, what can I say. Most B movies have poor acting. But, this was one to remember. These people see these giant ants coming up the stairs, and all they have to say is. "That's a big ant!" It should have been a terrified scream. The acting was almost deliberately terrible.Overall, this film was very poor. Most 1950's horror flicks packed more of a punch than this film. Glass Trap was painful to watch. If you want to see a good movie, Glass Trap isn't the way to go.

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!

gelooo69 This movie was clearly thought out. I haven't seen a movie about giant ants before so i have to give it extra points for being original.This movie was joined by FOX STUDIOS so the budget could be increased and the GIANT Ants sure looked much better then i would think. They are damn scary.The whole movie is very violent and extremely well done. I noticed a few big names in it and the acting was better then most big actors these days. If this movie doesn't win an award for something IL be very upset.Wait until this comes to the big screen because you will get much more of an scary and intense experience but if you missed it then hire the video. Not for people who cant handle extreme violence.Oh and did i mention there are real life vogue models + + +
