Mini-review: Frogs (1972)

Frogs
Directed by George McCowan



A genuine surprise, if only for the fact that it's not nearly as silly and idiotic as it probably ought to be. Though obviously not the darkest, most horrifying of horrors, this is a movie that knows its limitations and doesn't make an ass of itself (if that's something a movie can even do in the first place). There were a few moments that actually worked, and though it's hard to find frogs even remotely terrifying, I appreciate the effort and relative effectiveness of this movie -- especially considering its inherent restraints. Also, bonus points for the poster.

★★★★★★☆☆☆☆
