Review of Frogs (1972) by Christina M — 28 Aug 2010
The setting is a mansion in the florida swamps, far away from other people.
A couple of generations in a rich family is going to celebrate some four birthdays in a week all led by a semi-mad patriarch in a wheelchair.
The gathering of people resembles the french group of at the plantage that appeard in "Apocalypse Now: Reduxe" Same mixes of madness, upper class, senility and extreme patriotism.
Added to this is the overuse of pesticides to kill of the frogs in the nature all around the mansion.
A freelance photograher comes around and becomes part of the strange crowd for a couple of days, and then nature strikes back.
Not just Frogs, we are introduced to pissed of snakes, grumpy lizzards, furious aligators, upset spiders, hungry leeches and even some confused flesh-eating turtles.
There is a lot of zoom-in-to-closeup-freeze-shots of alla animals, mostly frogs that dosn´t do much more than just being frogs.
Eco Horror fun.
