Review of Frogs (1972) by Dustin R — 23 Sep 2007

Millionaire patriarch Ray Milland and his extended family gather together at his private island mansion to celebrate the 4th of July and have much more to worry about than photographer and ecologist Sam Elliott snooping around getting material for a magazine layout on pollution. You see, Elliott isn?t the only one who?s fed up with Milland?s environmental poisoning as a horde of frogs wisen up and lead their swampland buddies (alligators, snakes, lizards, turtles, birds, leeches, spiders and more) in a violent revolt.

Thanks to the piercing sounds of Les Baxter?s score and the sheer variety of creepy crawlers on display, you are likely to cringe somewhere along the line in this implausible, extremely silly and often awkwardly directed, but nonetheless entertaining, effort.
