3.0 out of 5 stars LET'S GET ANTSY, September 7, 2005

Remember THEM....THE BLACK SCORPION...BEGINNING OF THE END..TARANTULA? Those magnificently corny but loveable big bug movies of the fifties? Well, THE GLASS TRAP whether intentionally or unintentionally pays homage to these movies in its own delightful way. The ants don't look too bad from a distance, but the close ups are cheesy and pedophilic! But that's what makes this movie so tolerably enjoyable. C. Thomas Howell looks completely lost in his heroic janitor(?) role; Stella Stevens (always Linda Rogo from THE POSEIDON ADVENTURE) chews up the scenery a'la Joan Crawford and Bette Davis; B movie stalwarts Brent Huff, Andrew Prine, Ron Harper and Chick Vennera add cult status; and Martin Kove is hilarious as the "specialist" who comes in to save the day. The movie is rightfully ridiculous but if you loved those killer bug movies aforementioned (as I did growing up on them), then THE GLASS TRAP can be forgiven for its clunky amateurishness.

This review is from: Glass Trap (DVD)

Ants living in some plants delivered to an office building start growing and attacking the people in the building. Luckily it's a Saturday so not many people are in the building (budget reasons?) We've got newspaper editor Stella Stevens and her suffering assistant Siri Baruc, and a few others.

This low budget film has a couple of scenes that are really bad but overlall, it's your average low budget giant insect movie. The story is standard stuff, not very inspired. Not a very good movie but not all bad. It's watchable but not really as entertaining as some other movies of its types and not worth spending too much money on.

3.0 out of 5 stars oh yeah... I give in, it stinks, December 4, 2010

Alright...

Glass Trap is not a *total* disaster. Just the fact that the focus is on the cheesiness of these giant attacking black ants walking around through a building (with low budget acting skills by the main characters; of which there were definitely an unnecesary AMOUNT of characters to begin with) should be enough to keep your undivided attention for the entire 1 hour and 25 minutes the movie is running.

These ants are on a mission to kill everyone who's trapped inside the building. This would include the SUPER HOT character played by Siri Baruc, a teenage girl who's in love with her new present (a radio) and an easily-annoyed bossy old lady who has ZERO tolerance for anybody it would seem. Oh, and the janitor of course.

So the question is- WILL all these people eventually find a way to escape? There's seriously like over 10 main characters, and to give the film writers a bit of credit, the storyline with each of these characters is actually fairly involving and detailed with their own dilemmas taking place with different scenes constantly jumping around.

The ants themselves though... wow, haha. They don't even really act like normal ants either. They're just really eager to bite someones face off until guts are shown flying against the walls and floors. It's a bit grotesque to say the least.

Actually everything about the film is grotesque, but admit it- you wanted to stick around until the conclusion to find out who'd survive and who'd become ant droppings!
