Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring

SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie

HottWwjdIam There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.

Tayyab Torres Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Michael Ledo It appears pollution has caused critters (not just frogs) to become large and aggressive on an island. To add some kind of irony or meaning to the production our "bad guy" is a trophy hunter(Ray Milland) in a wheel chair. Pickett Smith is a photographer who comes to the island in what will be one of Sam Elliot's lest memorable role. TV actress Joan Van Ark reminds us why a generation was in love with bell bottoms.The premise of the film is inane. Animals die from pollution with frogs being one of the most susceptible in the food chain. And even if frogs did become hopping mad, an army of heavily armed frogs could not stand up to one kid with a pair of sneakers. Apparently the frogs are the masterminds directing the gators and snakes before becoming their snack.The film appears to be made for TV in spite of the rating, with credit phrases like "guest appearance." No horror factor involved. Many of the animal shots are stock footage.

Mckenzie Barkdull-Pugmire Above this move is described as; horror, mystery, and romance. I think I can safely say it fails to be all of the above. the only mystery is how in the hell they got this movie produced. the frog is possibly the most frightening creature on the planet and even though they try their hardest to make these man eating frog seem vicious it inevitably fails. All though in their failed attempt to make a cutting edge original horror movie they created now one of my favorite stupid comedies.Between the melodramatic acting and the intense double takes of an expressionless frog it's quite impossible to get through this movie with out laughing.

GL84 Joining their family for a holiday celebration, a photographer gets caught up in their struggle to survive when the local wildlife population suddenly turns on them with deadly intent and must help them get away alive.On the whole this was certainly a watchable if still really unremarkable effort. One of the few areas this one gets right is the fact of being able to effectively make the encroaching wildlife a force to be reckoned with, gathering a sizable number of beasts of all different backgrounds, varieties and deadliness to make a worthwhile run at the human group assembled. With all manner of frogs, lizards, snakes and other reptiles as well as birds and fish all involved here, the gathered army makes for quite an impressive lot and the fact that there's a constant presence here with the near-continuous croaking, screeching and calling out to each other here makes for a truly chilling time here that really gets it's worth the more it's utilized throughout here. Likewise, that alone makes the final half-hour here all the more enjoyable as it's basically a series of chases throughout the compound trying to get the remaining visitors to safety as the previous attempts fail spectacularly in a couple rather enjoyable encounters with an alligator in the swamps, a vicious spider assault out in the forest and the endless frog and snake attacks that lead throughout the finale as there's no shortage of these fun scenes throughout here. However, these are all that really work here as the film doesn't really offer much beyond that. The biggest mitigating factor is the fact that despite the best efforts to the contrary, the film is completely obvious about the hokey nature of having completely non-threatening animals turn vicious and tries several tactics to convince us otherwise that really come up short. The fact that the creatures' continuous presence is seen throughout the film always hanging out on the fringes of the property, that they never once pose any kind of active threat to the people nearby unless they're on their own is a big flaw, as they seem content to perfectly watch them go about their routine and never try any kind of attack instead of peacefully sitting around, much as the creatures ordinarily would in such an occasion. The close-ups of them constantly croaking or hopping along are nowhere near threatening as it would be just hearing the noises, and the fact that they literally have to drag the creatures on top of them during the attacks, are forced to wrestle with obviously tame and non-threatening beasts in their scenes or confuse non-poisonous species for deadly creatures makes the large majority of the attacks here quite hilarious rather than chilling. As such, with a long introduction that shows the patriarch's stubbornness as a storyline ploy rather than anything else to keep them in danger stretches the flimsy plot out far longer than it really should and makes for a really tough time getting into this one, which is another big stumbling block to overcome here. Otherwise, this one wasn't all that bad.Rated PG: Violence including violence-against-animals, Language and children-in-jeopardy.

skybrick736 The movie is simplistic and goes without much thought than wildlife taking revenge on a group of humans. For what it's worth though, Frogs presented this eco-minded thought into a really strong concrete horror film message. There are no cheesy giant frogs, like the cover might indicate, no off-shot kills, and there are no crude looking special effects. In fact the trickery is non-existent and the movie shot an abundance of real creepy animals. Real spiders, snakes, lizards, and yes, frogs, are all placed on the actors, but selling that they were actually being attacked was weak at times. It's unique in that way, but while watching Frogs, I felt that were too many limitations to filming it. The two main leads, Sam Elliot and Joan Van Ark were fun characters but there were a few roles by the supporting cast that were too unlikeable. The ending is rather expected, fitting and satisfying. In the end, Frogs is a good watch but doesn't provide anything memorable or one outstanding scene.
