Watch Frogs For Free

Highly Overrated But Still Good

This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Even though this movie was thirty minutes too long, had no plot and didn't make any sense, it wasn't really that bad. There is so much time where nothing is happening and yet they always forget to explain what is going on. But there are lots of good things about this movie too. They are on an island but the only time we see water, it appears to be a swamp. The island has a thousand species of snakes and every type of reptile. The ways the people die are silly. Some of the death scenes are too long with way too much screaming but a woman being killed by crabs makes up for that. Yes a woman is killed by crabs. A man is killed by an alligator with a band holding it's mouth shut. Great stuff. Milland plays the cranky grandfather who is extremely concerned about eating. That's the only story, he wants to eat all the time. I think he was supposed to be evil or something because that would explain the end. It seems like they edited out a lot of dialogue that would have helped the movie.

I saw this movie in a theater in 1972 and I have to say that in a darkened theater, the fear level is multiplied several times over. Fast forward 45 years and the intensity is still there.Two things are clear from all of it. One of the rules of survival in a horror movie, tongue in cheek, is to never go off alone. Almost everyone who got nailed did exactly that. It is also clear that a lot of these people's characters had not spent much time in the woods, let alone a swamp.I call myself a conservationist which is an environmentalist with common sense. This movie makes a case for sensible conservation by using the absurd. We have come a long way from when no one took seriously the problems caused by pollution, trashing the landscape, and abusive use of pesticides. We are the better for it. We who are Christians are taught that it is our responsibility to care for the animals and the landscape but we also have to balance it with the needs of humanity. This movie is a wake up call to how careless pollution and trashing the landscape is detrimental to all of us.It also appears to me that this movie may have been the inspiration to the hit series "Zoo". Also, the producers clearly learned from the master Roger Corman. You should try to watch this one if you get the chance.

I watched "Frogs" a few years ago with my little Son (when he was much littler :)) and it got me remembering the other horror flix of the '50s, '60s and '70s that weren't really scary at all - unless you were a small child. However, what I remember most vividly about this movie, and, what I'll always remember most - 'the big smile on my Son's little face!' :)I particularly liked how the characters were 'on-vacation' visiting the family patriarch; as were the animals 'on-vacation' from all over the world visiting the island - a South American Tegu; a Southeast Asian Tokay Gecko; an American Yellow Ratsnake; and, best of all, the "Frogs" must have had a prior commitment as they were all played by 'toads'!?!? I've read many of the other comments written here, as well as on "YouTube:" and, I cannot understand how ANY adult, especially a horror-fan, could possibly take this movie even somewhat seriously by writing such mean things about it!?!? It's a cheaply-made, PG-rated, 'Drive-In,' "Kids' Movie," and, what I like to call a "Starter-Movie" for preteen future horror-movie buffs - it's not too scary for a child. Much in the way "Scooby-Doo" (1969) is a scary "Starter-Show" for toddlers.However...another 'great' thing about "Frogs" is that it's memorable enough to get 'haters' and 'dislikers' to come out of the woodwork in droves and spend otherwise valuable time writing paragraph-after-paragraph on how they can't stand this movie!?!? If 'anyone' is willing to 'waste' that much time writing about an old and forgotten movie that they saw decades ago which left mental-scares on them deep enough that they still feel them now...then, this must be a heck-of-a-movie in one or many ways! :DThe beauty of this movie is that a child cannot see all the technical mistakes or the silliness, and, wouldn't care anyway (lucky-them) - they're just enjoying the animals and the subtle fright! It keeps a child interested!A few years after watching this, even my own Son, whom I watched it with, began to see how 'cheesy' it is...once he graduated to "The Twilight Zone;" Stephen King movies; and, "REAL HORROR."PARENTAL ADVISORY - Watch this movie with your young child...the smile upon his/her face will make the experience of it very much more enjoyable for you!As an adult, I rate this movie 3. As a young child, I'd have rated it 10. As a parent watching it with my 'Happy Little Son' - it's a "10" all the way!Other than technical inaccuracies, it's good, clean fun for kids who seem to show an interest in not-too-scary horror movies!A "Starter-Movie" for young future horror-fans! :)

this movie starts off with a guy in a canoe tacking pictures of pollution in the swamps. he later goes out in to open water and gets tipped over by a wave of water from a motor boat.the people in the boat bring the guy back to the mansion. they give him new clothing and pay for his stuff. the old man has him go out in to the woods to find the others. he reports back to the old man that they are dead. slowly more people die being killed by the animals.the animals are mad that people are messing with there habitat. at the end the old man does not want to leave and dies. the movie is called frogs but they are all toads. i think this movie is good.this movie is good for some one that scares easily or a young child. i have liked this movie since i was six years old.......................
