Not a film so much as a filmed idea. That could be interesting, but alas it is a very bad idea.

Fattenin Frogs for Snakes delivers eerie tension and Southern gothic mystery. Hunter Thore shines as an escaped convict seeking refuge on a farm hiding dark secrets. With moody cinematography and unsettling performances, it’s a slow but gripping watch which lingers long after the credits roll, making you question just who, in the end, was truly the predator and who was the prey.

There really is a good movie here. It was played a bit too serious. Here you have a group of actors playing mobster, and at some points they are willing to literally kill for a good part. This has camp material written all over it. The actresses played their roles impeccably, but it's Debbie Mazer who really chews the scenery, as if she knows the kind of movie they were making
