Trivia:
Because of the film's poster art, which depicts a human hand hanging out of a huge frogs mouth, it is often misconstrued that the film is about giant man-eating frogs rather than about swamp wildlife on the rampage. more
Goofs:
Revealing mistakes: When they're showing close-ups of the evil frogs, one frog is obviously thrown into the shot because it lands on its back. more
Quotes:
Jason Crockett: I still believe man is master of the world.
Pickett Smith: Does that mean he can't live in harmony with the rest of it?

Surprisingly scary . . ., 3 December 2001
Author: The Film Buff

Ray Milland and friends are having a celebration on his swampy estate, whose constant polluting of the local forests send hordes of frogs, snakes, lizards, etc. on a bloody rampage. Good performances only accompany this incredibly dumb, but surprisingly scary, pre-JAWS nature-on-a-rampage flick. Scenes of alligators brutally attacking a frightened old man or spiders covering another poor person in a web are truly disturbing. Not for the squeamish!
