==Reception== David Cornelius from ''eFilmCritic'' gave the film 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."<ref name="cornelius05">{{cite web |last1=Cornelius |first1=David |title=Movie Review - Glass Trap - eFilmCritic |url=http://www.efilmcritic.com/review.php?movie=12689 |website=eFilmCritic.com |publisher=David Cornelius |access-date=24 June 2018}}</ref> 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.<ref name="hartley05">{{cite web |last1=Hartley |first1=Chris |title=The Video Graveyard: Glass Trap |url=http://www.thevideograveyard.com/g/glasstrap.html |website=Video Graveyard.com |publisher=Chris Hartley |access-date=24 June 2018}}</ref> For ''TV Guide'', the film is a "scary throwback to horror films of the '50s".<ref>{{Cite web |title=Glass Trap |url=https://www.tvguide.com/movies/glass-trap/review/2000041002/ |access-date=2024-01-06 |website=TVGuide.com |language=en}}</ref>
