Unsurprisingly, grumpy Southern chemical baron Jason Crockett (Ray Milland) is not terribly concerned with the environment. When Pickett Smith (Sam Elliott), a wildlife photographer in the area, stumbles upon the snake bitten corpse of Crockett's gardener, who was sent out to spray pesticide, he knows something is amiss. Smith attempts to warn Crockett and his family to postpone their Fourth of July celebrations as local animals begin behaving strangely, but Crockett stubbornly refuses.

2.5/4
An imaginative premise, a solid cast, and a few surprisingly fresh characterizations lift this out of the mire. Go to Full Review Jeffrey M. Anderson Combustible Celluloid Sep 27, 2024

It's pretty dumb and not very scary. Go to Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins Jul 20, 2024

An unfortunately unstimulating exercise in a stale idea with pitiful execution on a paltry budget. Go to Full Review Dustin Putman TheBluFile.com May 21, 2015
2.5/4
If "Frogs" isn't always perfectly logical, it is unnerving, providing apt foreshadowing to its ecological, don't-mess-with-nature themes without having to turn the proceedings into a preachy message movie. Go to Full Review Tim Brayton Antagony & Ecstasy Jul 4, 2012
3/10
[The] kind of flatfooted incompetence that can turn a sane person into a dedicated bad movie watcher for the rest of their days. Go to Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Jun 29, 2007

A 'nature strikes back' environmental horror film and not a film about the French as some of you wiseguys might have thought. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Robert P @Superbad Sep 16, 2026 Frog's = a *1.5* star Movie! See more B P @Bradster69 Sep 7, 2026 Not Bad, but Not My Favorite See more Mitchel S @Razzz Jun 29, 2026 I watched this movie after my dad told me he was scared of it as a little kid. Needless to say it’s not scary now. While the film hasn’t aged very well from the scary aspect it does have a good theme and cast. A good introductory horror movie for young kids maybe. If you are on the hunt for cheesy horror movies this is for you if not you probably want to skip it. See more Alex D. @RT24918759 May 23, 2026 A good horror film from the 70s and it’s pretty good See more Jens B @Jens97 May 16, 2026 Hundreds of toads, snakes, and spiders—along with a scorpion and a few crocodiles (or alligators?)—exact their revenge on the inhabitants of a Southern mansion deep in the Florida swamps. The whole affair is staged at a rather leisurely pace; while things do get a bit creepy every now and then, the monotonous croaking proves somewhat sleep-inducing. I barely recognized Sam Elliott without his mustache—though he retains his charisma nonetheless. It’s worth a watch. See more Nick C. @dmcrra35 Dec 16, 2025 Silly typical horror movie from 70s.
