Release

Glass Trap was released on DVD by First Look Pictures on August 2, 2005. [1]

Reception

David Cornelius from eFilmCritic 2/5 stars, writing, "Like many direct-to-video features, Glass Trap will do the trick for those who rent these kind of things. It's harmless in its dumbness, painless in its 'gee, get a load of these fake ants we whipped up' presentation. But it's not very entertaining, either." [2] Chris Hartley from Video Graveyard gave the film 1.5 out of 4 stars, criticizing the film's dialogue, weak special effects, and poor attempts at humor. [3] For TV Guide, the film is a " scary throwback to horror films of the '50". [4]
