Frogs (1972)

Well, hmm, Frogs. Now, you would expect this movie to be about killer mutant frogs wouldn't you. Sure enough, there's toxic waste in the pond. But not just the frogs get pissed. Every lizard in the world seems to be living in Florida and ready to attack the Crockett family for dissing 'em. These are some crafty creatures, too. They trap people in greenhouses by closing the doors behind them. We called them MacGyver lizards.

Anyway, the frogs (and others including turtles) terrorize the family. Some try to leave, and others stay. There's mayhem all around.

In between every scene of the movie they showed three separate shots of frogs croaking, and sometimes they had nothing to do with the plot at the time. It was really weird. The music sounded like a 6-year-old on a synthesizer combined with a slinky being beaten on a wall. However, the end of the movie is just chock full of insane rabid crazed animals.

Corpse Count: 11

Now, to the ratings

- Nothing happens until far into the movie, and the suspense kinda gets annoying, especially when they keep showing stock footage of frogs croaking.
HA -
- The one-liners really weren't all that bad, and the death scenes were hilarious.
UC -
- MacGyver lizards, a movie called frogs when the frogs don't really do all that much, and plenty of 'interesting' death scenes.
C -
- Well, it's the 1st horror movie I've seen with frogs as the title character. The use of the other animals as killing machines was pretty funny.

Definitely not the top of the list, but still a funny movie if you feel like watching animals take their revenge on those pesky humans.
