This is another movie that was a Monsterdon watch party a while back… it is a B movie so it’s not that great but it has two things going for it. First Sam Elliott, who is known for playing cowboy types and having a deep gravelly voice and a mustache, but this is BEFORE he has his mustache!!! Second, Ray Milland, who won an Oscar back in the black-n-white days for “The Lost Weekend” (a great movie) playing a mean old guy.

Frogs … falls into the “eco-horror” category, telling the story of a wildlife photographer who meets an upper-class U.S. Southern family who are victimized by several different animal species, including snakes, birds, leeches, lizards, and butterflies.
…
A reviewer from HorrorNews.net found it odd for a horror film to be titled Frogs when all the killings in the film are done by animals other than frogs and discussed the acting: “Sam Elliott is good as always. He manages to feel like the outsider while also feeling like part of the group. It makes his role work in ways that it might not work in someone else’s control. Ray Milland is also fairly good as the patriarch of the Crockett family. He personifies that bullheaded ‘you listen to me because I’m always right’ attitude in such a believable manner that you think he is that guy. The rest of the cast isn’t as great as these two, but their lack of good performance only helps to make their deaths more fun to watch. They overact or underact in the perfect ways to make the movie priceless.”[7]
Ohhhh, nice. Love these movies where they work so hard to make totally innocent animals look menacing. Reminds me of “Strays” from the 80s, where they filmed cats yawning and adding hissing and other cat sounds for effect.
Night of the Lepus?
Wow, thanks for sharing!
Frogs have a place in my heart, and I’m not too cool with us naked apes destroying their habitat, so… yeah, bring it on! :D
I suppose today is the day I’ve been waiting for. I wonder if any animals were harmed in the making of this movie? ;-)
I suspect that several animals died of embarassment from being in it.
