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.

I am a big monster movie fan and I have to say I was terrible disappointed by this movie. At an awful ending. It was Badly written. I can believe people like this movie. I pooh on this movie. It is one of the worst horror movies ever. It was not scary it was pooh pooh. I pooh pooh on this movie. Pooh pooh. Pooh pooh. Pooh pooh. Pooh pooh. Don't wast your money. Don't wast your time. Don't see this movie. It is a awful movie. Awful movie awful movie. This about frogs and bunch of other swam animals killing people. I don't have problem with that. If it was well written. But in is not. It was good concept. But a very bad movie.

I watched "Frogs" a few years ago with my little Son (when he was much littler :)) and it got me remembering the other horror flix of the '50s, '60s and '70s that weren't really scary at all - unless you were a small child. However, what I remember most vividly about this movie, and, what I'll always remember most - 'the big smile on my Son's little face!' :)I particularly liked how the characters were 'on-vacation' visiting the family patriarch; as were the animals 'on-vacation' from all over the world visiting the island - a South American Tegu; a Southeast Asian Tokay Gecko; an American Yellow Ratsnake; and, best of all, the "Frogs" must have had a prior commitment as they were all played by 'toads'!?!? I've read many of the other comments written here, as well as on "YouTube:" and, I cannot understand how ANY adult, especially a horror-fan, could possibly take this movie even somewhat seriously by writing such mean things about it!?!? It's a cheaply-made, PG-rated, 'Drive-In,' "Kids' Movie," and, what I like to call a "Starter-Movie" for preteen future horror-movie buffs - it's not too scary for a child. Much in the way "Scooby-Doo" (1969) is a scary "Starter-Show" for toddlers.However...another 'great' thing about "Frogs" is that it's memorable enough to get 'haters' and 'dislikers' to come out of the woodwork in droves and spend otherwise valuable time writing paragraph-after-paragraph on how they can't stand this movie!?!? If 'anyone' is willing to 'waste' that much time writing about an old and forgotten movie that they saw decades ago which left mental-scares on them deep enough that they still feel them now...then, this must be a heck-of-a-movie in one or many ways! :DThe beauty of this movie is that a child cannot see all the technical mistakes or the silliness, and, wouldn't care anyway (lucky-them) - they're just enjoying the animals and the subtle fright! It keeps a child interested!A few years after watching this, even my own Son, whom I watched it with, began to see how 'cheesy' it is...once he graduated to "The Twilight Zone;" Stephen King movies; and, "REAL HORROR."PARENTAL ADVISORY - Watch this movie with your young child...the smile upon his/her face will make the experience of it very much more enjoyable for you!As an adult, I rate this movie 3. As a young child, I'd have rated it 10. As a parent watching it with my 'Happy Little Son' - it's a "10" all the way!Other than technical inaccuracies, it's good, clean fun for kids who seem to show an interest in not-too-scary horror movies!A "Starter-Movie" for young future horror-fans! :)

I first saw "Frogs" when I was 11, when Joan Van Ark gave me crush-like feelings and Sam Elliott seemed a role model. I liked the horror vibe, the snakes, alligators, lizards and frogs, and the death, as well as the creepy vibe of the implied southern coastal humid island madness. It made me think at the time of a pop song called "Swamp Witch." But "Frogs" doesn't hold up to re-watching. Its seams abound, and its shooting is nearly as hapless as its editing. It made money in spades for producers, but that is mainly because of a shoestring budget rather than being smashing at box offices. I cannot watch it now, however, without being ever-aware at every moment how much better it could have been with just a few re-takes, a few better set-ups, and some pleats in the script. It may help baby-boomers revisit their youth, but otherwise lacks virtues to recommend it.
