Mitchel S @Razzz Jun 29 I watched this movie after my dad told me he was scared of it as a little kid. Needless to say it’s not scary now. While the film hasn’t aged very well from the scary aspect it does have a good theme and cast. A good introductory horror movie for young kids maybe. If you are on the hunt for cheesy horror movies this is for you if not you probably want to skip it.

The whole affair is staged at a rather leisurely pace; while things do get a bit creepy every now and then, the monotonous croaking proves somewhat sleep-inducing. I barely recognized Sam Elliott without his mustache—though he retains his charisma nonetheless. It’s worth a watch. See more Nick C. @dmcrra35 Dec 16 Silly typical horror movie from 70s. See more TheMovieSearch R @TheMovieSearch Oct 20 Frogs is a cinematic disaster that firmly earns its place in the “so bad it’s painful” category. Marketed as a horror film about amphibians and reptiles taking over and attacking humans, it quickly becomes apparent that the film’s central premise is laughably unfulfilled. The frogs, the supposed stars of the show, spend the entire runtime sitting, hopping occasionally, and contributing nothing remotely menacing. Any suspense or tension the filmmakers hoped to generate evaporates almost immediately. The direction is abysmal. This is one of those films that makes you question if the director even knew how to tell a story visually. Scenes drag on endlessly with no creativity, no engagement, and absolutely no cinematic flair. The greenhouse sequence, where the supposed danger escalates, is a prime example: real-life lizards are filmed doing nothing of consequence, leaving the audience bewildered and frustrated rather than thrilled. The screenplay is equally appalling. The plot meanders aimlessly, the dialogue is uninspired, and the stakes never feel real. There’s no character development, no sense of escalating peril—just a series of contrived setups for creatures that never fulfill their promise. Whoever wrote this clearly abandoned any notion of narrative cohesion or audience engagement. Casting doesn’t help matters. The actors appear to be wandering through the story, reacting to the frogs and lizards in ways that are both overacted and underwhelming simultaneously. There’s no chemistry, no tension, and no reason to care about anyone on screen. Technically, the film suffers from poor cinematography and uninspired editing. Shots linger unnecessarily, and there’s a jarring lack of energy or pacing. It’s the type of film where you can practically feel the runtime stretching on forever, making the audience desperate for it to end. In the end, Frogs is a cautionary tale in bad filmmaking. It’s not entertaining in the “so bad it’s funny” way—mostly it’s just painful to watch. From concept to execution, it’s a complete failure on every level. If you’re looking for an example of how a horror premise can go utterly wrong, this is it.
