Movie Reviews of Frogs

Movie Review: Better than I expected!.
Summary: 5 Stars

Considering that this was made in 1972 and is about killer Frogs, I wasn't exactly expecting this movie to be scary, but it's actually really good! Although, "Animals" or "Amphibians" would have been a more appropraite title than "Frogs" because, although there is a massive number of Frogs jumping around the island where the movie takes place, the frogs do not actually kill anybody!...although a lot of other wildlife (mainly other amphibians) do.

Although not gory, this movie was very creepy in several places and actually managed to be quite scary. It is a while into the movie before anybody is killed (about 45 minutes) but the begining is built around suspence and charactor development and does not get boring. The ways in which the charactors are killed off are origional and suspenceful and often quite scary.

A rich millionaire (who hates nature) and his family and three servants are holidaying on a private island that they own. A man comes to the island taking picture of all of the pollution and damage to nature they have caused. The millionaire (sorry, I dont remember the charactors' names) isnt too happy about it but invites the man to stay with him and his family. At first we are just shown scenes of all of the frogs and other animals looking manacing but then the attacks begin and the charactors start die die one by one...

Another reviewer said that there werent many scenes of people being attacked by the animals, but there were quite a few (dont want to give away any spoilers but it was about 6).

Recomend if you enjoy animals-attacking-humans moves or thriller/horror's.

Summary of Frogs

"A shocker reminiscent of Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds" (Variety), this amphibious horror flick is teeming with thousands of nasty-tempered creatures that are hopping madand murderous. Jumping with action, suspense, revenge and Southern Gothic charm, Frogs' stars Sam Elliott, Joan Van Ark and Ray Milland are constantly a lily pad away from croaking! Jason Crockett (Milland) is an aging, physically disabled millionaire who invites his family to his island estate for hisbirthday party. The old man is more than crotchety he's crazy! Hating nature, Crockett poisons anything that crawls on his property. But on the night of his shindig, it's nature's payback time, as thousands of frogs whip up every bug and slimy thing into a toxic frenzy until the entire environment goes environ-mental.

Millionaire Jason Crockett (Ray Milland. No, really. Ray Milland) hates frogs. Naturally, he lives on an island estate in the middle of a big Southern swamp. His family also hates frogs, so much so that they clap their hands over their ears and scream about the horrible, horrible noise. Everybody joins in spraying toxic chemicals around, little realizing that these frogs are not just moist, they're mad. Hopping mad. The family gathers for Grandpa's annual birthday celebration, unaware that doom is hopping toward them on wet, flapping feet. The point is driven home with shot after shot of the frogs hopping... hopping... hopping... and occasionally being tossed by a helpful stagehand. Actually, the whole swamp is mad--snakes, snapping turtles, and even crocodiles- -which is really for the best because the only thing the frogs seem to have in the way of menace is that hopping thing. One by one, family members go flailing into the swamp, never to return, while those still in the house watch death hop closer. Frogs is almost as remarkable for the sartorial issues it brings up as the environmental ones. Why is everyone wearing sweaters with blazers in Florida in July? How did Joan Van Ark manage to find an outfit that combines the practicality of hot pants with the beauty of a terrycloth jumper? Will Ray Milland ever be able to get the slime off that bright white suit? And still, the frogs hop closer... --Ali Davis
