Unsurprisingly, grumpy Southern chemical baron Jason Crockett (Ray Milland) is not terribly concerned with the environment. When Pickett Smith (Sam Elliott), a wildlife photographer in the area, stumbles upon the snakebitten corpse of Crockett's gardener, who was sent out to spray pesticide, he knows something is amiss. Smith attempts to warn Crockett and his family to postpone their Fourth of July celebrations as local animals begin behaving strangely, but Crockett stubbornly refuses.

Combustible Celluloid

It's pretty dumb and not very scary.

Gone With The Twins

An unfortunately unstimulating exercise in a stale idea with pitiful execution on a paltry budget.

Rated: 2/10

Film Frenzy

[UPDATED 2024 BLU-RAY REVIEW] An imaginative premise, a solid cast, and a few surprisingly fresh characterizations lift this out of the mire.

Rated: 2.5/4

If "Frogs" isn't always perfectly logical, it is unnerving, providing apt foreshadowing to its ecological, don't-mess-with-nature themes without having to turn the proceedings into a preachy message movie.

Rated: 2.5/4

Antagony & Ecstasy

[The] kind of flatfooted incompetence that can turn a sane person into a dedicated bad movie watcher for the rest of their days.

Rated: 3/10

A 'nature strikes back' environmental horror film and not a film about the French as some of you wiseguys might have thought.

Boring. A complete fail at every turn. No plot, no suspense, no idea why it was called frogs when all of the pathetically cheezy kills were made by other reptiles. RiffTrax would have a hard time making this dud worth watching.

A lot of these reviews claim the movie is slow and boring, but I found it absolutely ribbeting the whole way through. Don't leap to any conclusions on this one. Some scenes are scary enough to make you croak. Hop on this one if you're into campy, B-side horror. 4/5, toadally reccomend.
