Frogs (1972)

Even though this movie was thirty minutes too long, had no plot and didn't make any sense, it wasn't really that bad. There is so much time where nothing is happening and yet they always forget to explain what is going on. But there are lots of good things about this movie too. They are on an island but the only time we see water, it appears to be a swamp. The island has a thousand species of snakes and every type of reptile. The ways the people die are silly. Some of the death scenes are too long with way too much screaming but a woman being killed by crabs makes up for that. Yes a woman is killed by crabs. A man is killed by an alligator with a band holding it's mouth shut. Great stuff. Milland plays the cranky grandfather who is extremely concerned about eating. That's the only story, he wants to eat all the time. I think he was supposed to be evil or something because that would explain the end. It seems like they edited out a lot of dialogue that would have helped the movie.

Small lizards, big lizards, snakes of all colors, crocodiles, scorpions, tarantulas and many many frogs, they are ruling on an island and kill people. Typical American times, all the characters breathe under the sign of the Huge Frog. Nothing more natural and normal! Just a single tortoise, only one, unlike all the other creatures, seems peaceful. It's not Horror, neither Mystery nor Romance, it's just Boredom. Sam Elliott was supposed to start somewhere so... There is also a follow up, "Frogs!"(1993). If some of those animals are still live today, I'm convinced they are ashamed to have played in the movie...

If any film deserves the right to have its name in the dictionary under the definition of B-Movie, it's the 1972 horror epic 'Frogs'.The plot, of course, is of only cursory relevance. But for the sake of those who give a flying proverbial, it follows the story of disabled millionaire Jason Crockett, played by Oscar-winner(!) Ray Milland, and his be-flared family who live in a palatial mansion somewhere in the swamps of Okefenokee. They are partial to a bit of careless pollution. The titular Frogs take offence to this kind of behaviour. So they wage war upon the Crocketts, and all who associate with their frog-hating kind.But you don't really want to hear about that. What you want to hear about are the meticulous production values that mark out this film as a seminal example of the genre.Gasp in amazement as you see a man in a wheelchair pull a revolver on a snake which is hanging from a chandelier. I say 'hanging', but what I really mean is 'being held by a human hand'. I know this because I can see it. Watch through your fingers as another man stumbles into a greenhouse, closes the door behind him, then fails to notice as a score of lizards (somehow) follow him inside to loiter around menacingly amongst plant pots on shelves. See how they knock over open bottles vaguely labelled 'Poison'. Shudder as the man chokes to death on the fumes. Howl in terror as seagulls swoop down on a garden to scare some protagonists - not because breadcrumbs fly across the screen in an effort to lure them. No. Definitely not. Then scream for your life as another man wrestles an alligator which has had its mouth taped shut.And all the while, the Frogs look on; leering at the mayhem they have caused without having to take a single human life themselves, because the Frogs rain down their justice with the most chilling power of all: telekinesis.Frogs: you'll croak. To death.

this movie starts off with a guy in a canoe tacking pictures of pollution in the swamps. he later goes out in to open water and gets tipped over by a wave of water from a motor boat.the people in the boat bring the guy back to the mansion. they give him new clothing and pay for his stuff. the old man has him go out in to the woods to find the others. he reports back to the old man that they are dead. slowly more people die being killed by the animals.the animals are mad that people are messing with there habitat. at the end the old man does not want to leave and dies. the movie is called frogs but they are all toads. i think this movie is good.this movie is good for some one that scares easily or a young child. i have liked this movie since i was six years old.......................
