Frogs (1972)
4/10
Psychic Frogs Reap Vengeance, Kill NOONE!!!
16 October 2019
When a freelance photographer sets off to document pollution in a rural area, near a paper mill, he gets into a mishap with the son of the local paper baron- who then takes him into his home.

One-by-one workers, guests, and family members start to go missing as they get ready to celebrate a series of birthdays on the 4th of July holiday weekend.

A list of animals that directly attack and kill people in this film include: snakes, gila monsters, tarantulas, birds, a snapping turtle and crabs.

Frogs dont actually attack or kill anyone. Rather, it is suggested that they are psychically controlling the rest of the swampland creatures, so as to reap vengeance on the family responsible for polluting their lands for profit.

As they seem to be impartial towards Pickett and the black folks working at, and visiting, the house (which, perhaps acts as commentary on the history of Florida, where the film was shot).

When all is said and done, nothing particularly exciting or intriguing happens in this environmental horror...the deaths are lame, and the kills lack imagination, while the special effects are mediocre at best.

So you're not missing much if you miss this one.
